I really hope flyers will tank thus season. The only thing tat block Michkov from the great future is huge lack of good partners. Flyers are in the beginning of rebuild but they are trying to compete.
Some people used Wild example and I woukd agree, but wild at least made many huge draft decisions and trade Faber. Flyers didn't. But they drafted Zavragin so they have two pieces, may be Luchanko will be good second line center, may be Bonk will be good second pair guy, but they really need future top line center and a couple of future first pair defensemen, at least one.
Two first pair dmen? They have the Robin in York/Sanheim. They just need the Batman.
You also need a true 1C like you said. However, considering that Michkov is here, that 1 C doesnt have to be a top of the line 1C , a young couturier like center producing 75-80 points a year should be enough. Toews-Kane is a good example.
Some say that could be Luchanko, but he most likely turns into a Rod Brindamour, 2 way player , good secondary scoring but with some offensive flaws. So still need a 1C
Then you have all the cornerstones: 1C, 1 D, goalie in Zavragin and hopefully your top 10 player in Michkov. The next 2 drafts, and especially this next draft could define Briere's tenure and the long term future of the flyers.
