Was about to post this. Whole org is a joke.

Meh. Most 2nd round picks are misses. People just focus on the hits.

Stankoven was right. There. For. The. f***ing. Taking….

That’s what makes this even worse. All of these jabroni’s need to be fired.

2nd round picks you trade away to add a bad, injury prone defenseman, are guaranteed misses.

 

[deadhead]

It's like any drafter, you have to look at a large sample, Eagles fans wanted to kill Howie over Reagor, then looked up and saw a team composed of his draft picks, trades and signees.

If Tuomaala turns out to be a bad pick, and Kaplan a steal, all is forgiven.
If they all turned out to be bad, hang 'em high!

Don't write the kid off yet. Had a crazy year being bounced around and a significant injury. Might take him a while to get his head on straight

 

[FLYguy3911]

Ratcliffe, Ginning, Tuomaala. This is why you trade second round picks.

Tuomaala didn’t even have a particularly good junior season. Compare his stats on the same team to Koivunen. Tournament evaluating, especially to raise value, is very often fool’s gold. Sometimes it’s the only sample I have, but I’ll almost always err on the side of “consider it, don’t trust it” across contradictory evidence. Both ways. And if you’re just looking at small sample points, forgettaboutit.

I don’t even think Tuomaala was especially good even in those games; I still couldn’t get a real read. He just skated fast and shot some. Flahrsy drew hearts in his notebook and dreamed of feeding him with a funnel.

First off, the team started off his “crazy year” by wasting a month in the AHL for 2 games. Secondly, what significant injury? He was just scratched a ton across both leagues. When the very next pick is the reigning CHL Player of the Year, who plays the same position, who we had ranked 30 spots higher, after this team has barely drafting recently, you’re getting criticism.

 

[Rebels57]

Flyers development baby!!

Sami Kapanen is working wonders with him!

That stint starting his Draft +1 in the AHL and then being healthy scratched was just what he needed.

The mental hoops you will jump through to slurp Fletcher amaze me.

Stankoven is actually a center that projects as a winger because of his size. The antithesis of the guy they just took 5th overall really.

Stankoven is unlikely to be a NHL regular. There are Smurfs and then there are Stankovens.

However it reinforces what is said earlier. Toumoula wont do what the Flyers want him to do development wise. Then they drafted the kid this year that has a sex conviction. Whoever the Finnish scout is needs to be fired. His job includes basic background checks as well.

He's now below O'Brien on the prospect depth chart.

 

[mr4tno]

Ratcliffe, Ginning, Tuomaala. This is why you trade second round picks.

or draft better

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Good thing they signed him to a contract right away that summer of his draft.

 

[captainpaxil]

He's now below O'Brien on the prospect depth chart.

Tuomaala has the speed and shot to be a scorer at at least the ahl level the question is can he mature both on and off the ice.
O'Brien reminds me a lot of Mike Richards the question with him is can he stay healthy long enough to show that kind of determination to succeed.

You mean hyperfocus on small sample sizes is basically always bad?

I'd say I'm shocked but I annually learn this lesson watching the Flyers get their opening roster obviously wrong based on preseason.

 

[youthoftoday]

Sorry for maybe some out dated questions. I was swamped the last month so didn't see much from training camp other than a few minutes from some of the preseason games. Did Foerster show anything that might indicate him being a call up this year? Does Wisdom have a future in the NHL? Was Cutter not at camp at all? I thought top picks, especially top 10 ones got a camp invite even when they know they aren't to make the team.

3rd rounders are what you want

Specifically around the 70s.
