When Briere gave Buium away, he got a premium, a third-round
pick. Why didn't he receive a premium from the Oilers for letting them into the first round?

Terrible GM? Just sayin'. The Flyers' biggest needs are 1C and 1D. Buium has a chance to be a great 1D, 28 minutes/game stud Dman. Fell to us in a miracle. Luchanko is Laughton 2.0 if we are lucky. FFS, why is every draft, except for the fluke of Michkov falling last year, a disappointment?

Briere might actually be as bad as Fletcher.

C'mon, that's a bit harsh. No one is THAT bad.

Yeah I just don't see how you can pass on a potential alpha 1D who can drive play every time they are on the ice. If you have too many D? You move one for a position of need, you don't draft a lesser player.

i like this trade. Wish we had Buium though

 

[sobrien]

should be a better draft. Good I guess. Danny banking on both EDM and COL being worse next year

 

[TheKingPin]

The only bright side is 6 picks in the first 2 rounds next year so far. That will likely be even more by the trade deadline. Sell Laughton and TK and tank. Look how great the Habs did tonight

My big fear is that this team is similarly positioned next year, and that all of these 25 picks are to be used as trade fodder at the TDL to bring in whatever aging vets they think will get them to the promised land of the 8th seed and a first round playoff loss.

 

[mja]

Also, I'm calling it now. Nurse accidentally takes out both McDavid & Draisaitl for the season on the same play attempting an open ice hit in the very first game next year. Edmonton tanks and gets the first overall pick. Everyone comes back for 25-26 and they march onto the Cup. Flyers have the last pick in the first round, only it's 34th overall because the NHL has two new expansion franchises.

Really stupid, illogical trade

And it looks like they aren't in a rush to finish the rebuild...

People have been saying this for 3 years now

Oiler fans are not happy with this trade....I think we did well here.....

Pick in a stronger draft that can only be equal or better than the current pick. This is a win.

Every draft the next year is stronger than the last according to insiders. It never fails. Eiserman was the consensus 2nd overall player in October 2023. We’re supposed to believe the Flyers know what a year from now looks like at pick 27?

There’s never a projectable difference outside the top 10-15 in any given year. You have your few targets after that each year. It’s hubris to suggest otherwise. But hubris suits this team well. You had Flahr saying he preferred the mid rounds (!) in one year versus the next. The same genius that punted on the Covid draft because it was weak in his estimation. Maybe don’t trust the holistic evaluations of the team that passes on elite talent left and right, including last night? If you can’t get those painfully easy decisions correct, it doesn’t matter if it’s as deep as the Atlantic Ocean. Shit picks will still be made by many a team.

When you draft 3rd rd talent, then it doesn't matter much.

But this is at least a win. The pick can only get better regardless of the state of the draft.

 

[Flybynite]

The only bright spot for the future in any kind 'big impact' possibility is because Michkov fell into his lap when they were not able to move up.

Glad I checked out of the draft after the first pick.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Briere might actually be as bad as Fletcher.

He learned from the same illustrious minds, so it stands to reason.

 

[Larry44]

I really don't see what the problem is. I get it, Buium, etc. But you're trading the 32nd pick in a round of 32 picks for one that will be of, at worst, equal value.

There are a lot of good prospects on the board, there was no sweetener, and you lose a year of development. All on the gamble Edm isn’t going back to the SCF. Passing on Buium is going to haunt them.

The Leafs moved back 8 picks in exchange for a second rounder this year.

The Flyers moved back 220 picks for no cost this season. The just pick swapped for free, like part of a f***ing NBA trade. Teams chomp at the bit to hose this team. I'm sure every other GM lights up in the eyes when the Flyers come calling.

This is a completely irrational take and you know it. The leafs moved 8 picks back.

There's a good chance our pick ends up moving forward as much as 8 picks. Hell, one Mcdavid injury and we could be picking in the top 15. Still beats out the 32nd pick.

Wait we traded this pick for an 8th rounder?

 

[mr4tno]

The way Capfreindly reads if EDM trades their 2026 1st then the 2025 becomes unprotected. The COL 1st does not read that way. You could interpret it that if COL's pick is top 10 then the Flyers receive nothing...

 

[tictactoe]

i like this trade. Wish we had Buium though

whats to like?

 

[Petr Svoboda Mullet]

I don’t hate the move in a vacuum, but for a team so devoid of talent, punting on another year or two of development, depending on conditions, seems like a bad decision. If this was Colorado, Florida, etc. I get the move, but for a team like the Flyers?
