Remember when Holmgren drafted Klotz in the 3rd round and he tried to convince people they saw him as a NHL power forward. The Flyers just can’t help themselves with drafting these worthless plugs.
Given where he was drafted, that would be a good outcome.
I mean they used #11 on Morin and they didn't even get that out of him.
It's one thing to draft for upside late in the draft with a 5% chance of reaching it, but I'll take a bottom six/3rd pair with a 10-20% chance over a top 6/top 4 with less than 1% chance of reaching it.
If Mann can skate decently, given his size, he may have a role as a cheap #6/#7 which is better than a "skilled" player who never makes it out of the ECHL (Millman).

That's a different issue, judgement not philosophy.He has less than 1% chance of reaching it though... not 10-20% chance.

Too much Mann! Why is this a thread again? Asking for humanity

Plus his mom had evil aura.Morin was a great athlete who could skate at least.
He could, but only for a few years. Things as tall as Sam Morin aren't supposed to move that fast - ligaments are just not holding up long term.Morin was a great athlete who could skate at least.
You should stop hate picks just because they are taller than 5’9
Really interesting idea, considering most of fans who hate this pick didn’t even know Mann before Flyers made this pick, not to mention watch his full game.What about hating them because they're terrible at hockey?

No idea where the trend came from to call any draft/sign big player “old culture”, “dinosaur’s decision” etc
If anyone can find a statistical profile similar or worse who turned out to be an NHL player, I’m all ears.
Certainly his size in this sport will give him opportunities that small players will never sniff so for that reason alone I will not make any guarantees, but what are the chances he is an effective player at any pro level, much less than NHL?
