I haven’t looked too hard, but Hagens seems to be consensus #1

If that’s the case, nobody has any business leaking or talking (speaking of reporting), unless they’re in for the tank. They can get 10 1st round picks for Konecny, the only way they get him is by being a bottom 3 team and winning the lottery

What level is Hagans supposed to be at? I thought Michael Misa was supposed to be that guy this year.

The way I understand it is that Hagens is the clear 1OA and then your preferred guys from Frondell, Misa, and Ryabkin are the other star potential Fs if the draft is today.

None of it makes sense. They will never tank because they are beholden to torts who wants to eke out every point possible. They can’t handle what they think are the financial ramifications of tanking- low attendance and fan disinterest. They also think tanking would harm the young players they want to instill a winning culture in.

1) torts has always been the wrong coach for a rebuild
2) the fans would get behind an actual youth movement
3) they don’t have a particularly young or talented core to worry about instilling a culture into

Their solution is to hope to luck into a couple nice pieces- like Michkov- while they wait for cap space.

Looking forward to them buying at the deadline while trending out of the playoffs and then coming nowhere near top pick.

also he had same agent as TK- they have a number they are sticking to- 8yrs at $8.5 is what he thinks it will be but they’re asking for more than that. “Other teams would be willing to pay…”

TK, playing out his contract to go FA, would go far to icing the cake on a bad season. Add Tortorella to a contact dispute and things could go off of the rails pretty fast. Next to Couturier, Konecny has to have the most juice with his teammates in the locker room. If he gets sold down the river in a deal, it isn't going to play well with the guys.

Among the billion other things that don’t make sense- you’re watching the Coots albatross contract play out before your eyes, and you’re itching to enter into another, even worse, one?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Le sigh.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Nate Danielson went in the actual top 10 and it still doesn’t mean shit for his future.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Top 10 hey. Wow. Guess everything is right on track after all.

Next thing we will have them telling us how they killed Medicare

Presumably he would be moved by the deadline if he’s not going to extend.

"We owe it to the locker room to go for it."

 

[GKJ]

Unless there’s a trade out there, the Flyers appear to have their roster, which will include zero players who ended last season with a different NHL team.

 

[Curufinwe]

"We owe it to the locker room to go for it."

They traded Walker and I think they’ll be lower in the standings. Washington and NJ have really beefed up their rosters.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Le sigh.

The way I understand it is that Hagens is the clear 1OA and then your preferred guys from Frondell, Misa, and Ryabkin are the other star potential Fs if the draft is today.

So, Hagens is the Bedard, and Frondell, Misa, and Ryabkin are the Fantilli, Carlsson, and (should have been Michkov, if not for geopolitics) Smith? Sounds like we need to try and get down to the bottom two, then. Not going to happen, but that's the only way to guarantee one of the four.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Le sigh.

Does Perrault go top 5 though?

As a footnote, a guy that is clearly a better prospect on London just went 11th.

And if he’s that good he should be in the NHL this year. These guys are so full of themselves. That’s how the Zeev situation plays out.

 

[trostol]

they really need to get one of these next two 1OA draft picks

 

[ponder719]

Good luck with that. There's no scenario where they'll willingly be bad enough to get into the conversation as a legit lotto winner. I'd love it, but they're probably looking at a couple 6-10th picks over the next two years.

Don’t bet on that. The makings for that are there.

 

[ponder719]

I mean, anything's possible, but I don't see a scenario where we're worse than San Jose, Chicago, Montreal, Columbus, or Anaheim, and that's 6th place right there. Yeah, we haven't materially changed other than by adding Michkov and moving Atkinson, but none of those teams added world beaters either, and they were already worse than we were. One or two other teams having a bad break or two with injuries, and we're at 8, then some Philly lotto luck and we're picking 10th.

I get the Charlie hate but he also needs to toe the line. We all sit here and trash the organization but if you were working with them in a way he is, we wouldn’t be. He needs to not burn bridges that hurt his potentials of becoming and remaining the best writer for his career. We don’t have that issue here.

Same as whatever line of work you’re in now. You’re not trashing your clients/colleagues/potential clients where it’s readily available to all. Have to have those considerations when talking specifically about beat reporters and even national reporters.

Maybe he want to become President? who knows with this org!

 

[FlyerNutter]

Maybe he want to become President? who know with this org!

There are a lot of outlets, or voices that are critical of teams up here.

Don’t dare yourself to believe that if the Bruins or Rangers had a decade + like the last - they would be given such a pass by a p***y media team.

so another decade or 2 of going nowere.

sadly your 100% accurate
