I thought Helenius was ours, and with an additional 3rd to boot. Oh well, some people rate Jett. Time will tell.

2 years away from being 2 years away
My buddy is an OHL reporter - gave me the following...
"Love that kid, interviewed him. Wants to play like Dylan Larkin. Great skater, smart, really cool kid. Little shocked he went this high"

Trying to be the smartest person in the room. Maybe they thought this was Florida's pick. Imagine if they traded up to 4 and picked Jett.

Pretty impressive we've written this kid off already. We're not going to know for a year at least what kind of player he's going to be.
You have to think that other teams coveted him, because why would we be picking him at 13 over 20.

But, we have a competent GM taking the team in a new direction by drafting… Scott Laughton 2.0

Scouch loved him FWIW. Would frequently rave about him on his podcast.

Briere f***ing blew this pick. Awful, awful process, and putrid results.

The process certainly seems terrible, but idiots are already comparing him to Laughton. In what world did Laughton have this kind of upside.
Torts pick through and through. Will be a 4th liner at best. f*** this team. What an embarrassment. I'm so mad I hope Michkov asks for a trade.

I think if we could hear the private talks the Flyers brain trust had to justify this pick, we would all blow our brains out.

Like FLYguy said in the draft thread, there are some really good indicators of room for growth here. The problem is just doing it this early and passing Buium to do it.
It’s smartest team in the room disease. They seem completely comfortable drafting for 95th+ Percentile outcomes. No one can do that consistently.

The only voice allowed to speak is Torts and he wants a 200 foot guy. Not a skill guy.
Excellent choice. Solid 2 way player who will be a dynamic 3C with a 2C upside.
and the bonus 3rd next year to boot for basically just letting the D man go. Nice. Well done.

Those 2 guys are not comparable. York can play. JOB is a massive bust

People thought this team could trade Couts because they had Laughton as a replacement. Just to put this in perspective.
