The crazy thing is, Buium could be that 1D and they just passed on him for a reach who projects to be a "very nice 2C if all goes well." Then that box could have been checked.Only way I see thag UFA plan having a shot is if they hit at least 2 home runs this year in the 1st round. One with a top end pick and the other with a later pick. Then you have Michkov, Luchanko, Home run 1, and home run 2. If those home runs are a 1C and 1D. Just too much has to go so right
They also need the ammo to land at least one of those in the Top-4 of the draft imho. Unless the lottery is rigged, there's zero chance the Flyers are picking 1st ov next season. They need to deal some vets so they can play themselves into a Top-4 pick without purposely tanking.
If they are in the vicinity they may be able to move up to 3-5 to select someone like Anton Frondell who I think would be the perfect C for Michkov.
