I don’t remember Stolarz much when he played for the Flyers - but he’s a fun watch. Massive frame, but borderline over aggressive.

Reminds me a little of Bishop sometimes.
 
2 dudes that I honest to God have never heard of get a 2nd rounder.

Trent Frederic is my go-to example of how you can know a pick is bad on the day of a draft.

Their Director of Amateur Scouting (Keith Gretzky — the jokes write themselves) literally said into a microphone that same night they don’t think he could be a top 6 player. He went 29th. :laugh:
 
Question for non-Canadians: Would you cheer for a long Leafs playoff run if they added Former Flyers Scott Laughton and Brayden Schenn at the deadline?

IIRC he was on a deeper US team so he probably did see a bit better usage when he went to college & his offensive numbers got better. So even at the time of his draft year his statically profile wasn’t a great bet to end up at even that.

Edit: Actually looking it up it wasn’t a deep year but they did bring three guys from the outside the program that all went first round (Mittelstadt, Brown, & Yamamoto) to their showcase games that year. So he did get knocked down for those & his overall production was just modest anyway.

Nothing makes me chuckle more than hockey fans saying politics have nothing to do with sports when the NHL could cease to function pretty quickly here.
