There has just been so much talk from ASF, and Charlie about them keeping TK. Continously.
I'd love to move him, but just can't see it. My optimistic day dreams aren't really there anymore. Its going to be Yakemchuk or Catton/Helenius as 12. Just a vibe, nothing more.
Possibly decent players, but just kind of more of the same old nice meh pieces.
Its the position one puts themselves in when they put no effort into landing in that top 5, and being content at picking 12th. Imagine being Chicago this year after snagging Bedard, and Moore (not sure if he's playing well).
Anaheim with Carlsson, and who they get this year. Will Smith, and Celebrini.
Those teams just operate in a different lane of thinking. As much as the Flyers will tout Florida as a model to follow, they don't do shit without Barkov.
Exciting players come into the league every year. Flyers are just too arrogant, and lazy to put themselves into a spot to get them. They lucked into Matvei, so they might have one.
