Or he dropped b/c of rumors, but due to the nature of legal proceedings, they couldn't confirm anything before the draft (much like determining who is involved in that juniors incident), so they took a Flyer with a late 7th rd pick. If he's acquited or charges are dropped, they got a bargain, otherwise, well, it's a 7th rd pick.

Truly, this might be the worst excuse I’ve ever heard you produce to defend this regime. Overload me with Fletcher Puppet narratives — but not this. I hope for their sake they got blindsided, or the timing was after. Because for a team that hilariously does not work in the margins, and preaches culture, taking a chance on a player accused of sexual assault (value!) ain’t it, chief.

My point is at the draft, they may not have had any details other than vague rumors.

Look at all the players drafted (with high picks in some cases) involved with the alleged gang rape in junior hockey - that didn't come out for years.

So it could be something, it could be nothing, in those circumstances teams discount the player, but might still take a chance with a 7th rd pick.
 
It’s too much work for Chuckles and Co. to do any kind of due diligence like that. “It’s too hard/difficult.”
True, scouting is hard. But wouldn't you think your scouts, in pushing forward names, would know this stuff? The Flyers have Joakim Grundberg as Dir, Euro Scouting and Sami Sandell presumably in Finland, and Sami Kapanen in player development. How does something like this slip by.

Great backchecker, a little rapey, but we like his character. LOL!
 
The Flyers told Theo Rochette they will follow him this season as one of their own prospects. There's a good chance he'll get a contract at the end of the season.

Until someone else signs him. This is what happens when you waste contract slots on AHL level players

Rochette didn't show enough to waste a contract slot, much less than Avon the previous camp.
McClennon is a smaller version of Marody, skilled scorer who doesn't skate well enough to translate it to higher levels.
 
Local kid Vinny Borgesi with an overtime goal to secure a 3-2 win for Northeastern. Little shocked he wasn't drafted in the later rounds. Attended Av's rookie camp. Flyers will see him a lot as Macdonald is on that team.

Sounds bad. Maybe another story that ends bad for our franchise!

thx bro for inform us!
Sounds really bad for a player who is not even named. I can’t find any article anywhere providing more detail than it’s a Modo Jr. player and it appears the player could be convicted of sexual assault. I can’t confirm who it was accused and convicted, the details of the case, when it occurred vis-a-vis the draft, what level of due diligence was done, etc. I don’t know what to make of any of it (other than noting that both so-called cancel culture and anti-woke misogynists bore the bolts off me). If it is Sulku, then commenting in the context of the focus of this message board, it sucks for the franchise more than it doesn’t.

I don’t care if what I’m about to write is unpopular. I think deadhead’s view isn’t unreasonable. It’s a seventh-round pick. Ho-hum.
 
They told him to work on his height!

Get him those ridiculous shoes DeNiro wore for The Irishman.

From draft day lol.
He's quite skilled, but I'm sure that wasn't the reason they drafted him.

Pretty sure I said on the same day, I was much more impressed with Kaplan than Gauthier by the end of the u18s. Not a better prospect, but relative to expectations. He's a really good passer. More the stationary type, but a unique skillset that I'm sure the current regime will not be able to weaponize.

Don’t worry. I got this.

 
Didn’t hear anything in the media after the Flyers selected Sulku, so I have to think these accusations were not known at the time of the draft.
 
Gaucher should be a decent AHL player, brings size and some skill, and you know there will be injuries and call-ups.
Meier sounds like they're worried about Sandstrom or need an ECHL goalie.
