2019 NHL Mock Draft - NHL - DraftSite.com
This mock draft Cole going at 23. i think its a stretch to pick him at 11.

Ya I've seen him at a bunch of slots between 11 and 23. 11 is the highest I've seen him.

The logic I read off the Athletic was, given the amount of prospects the Flyers have, this wouldn't be a bad time to take a home-run swing. Caufield will likely either be a really good, Gadreau/DeBrincat-type guy, or a bust. I can definitely see the logic in going for a home-run swing. The Flyers, at least before Fletch starts making moves, have a plethora of middle-six type forwards. They won't have room for the ones they have, it doesn't make sense to add another. If they don't move the pick, I like going for a 1st line caliber guy even if it's high risk.

Will be researching the draft more now. Fletch's comments about the draft the past few dayas make me think he's not real interested in moving the pick.

If its time to take a swing why dont we get some prospects we have now that go along with some of this years pics in which we have 4 in the first 75 players chosen and move up and get an immediate impact player.

I've said it repeatedly, if you are playing hurt you are a detrement to your team. Don't be selfish, heal and come back 100%
If you remember Simmer said the same thing about his off year last season and it had no effect he still played bad this season.

What's up guys???

I know a few are probably not happy Q is off the table,
I for one realize he's a damn good coach, but don't think he was the right fit for the youth on this team.

We have had so many coaches that haven't been good for this team. I have given up blaming the coaches.

The Flyers have tried to sell a storyline that they are stocked with young talent in the pipeline, but every team has good young talent, and much of it has developed a whole lot quicker than the Flyers' has.
This was the biggest misconception fans had about this team. Are we really as loaded as thought. I say bring up Frost and Farabee and see if they can play big boy hockey.
Bring them up and lets play!!

I'm not upset. But I think the longer Fletcher hesitates and just ends up extending Gordon sends a sure sign of unsureness to the rest of the team.

This is true, I think the leadership on the ice needs to take some heat for everyone playing like zombies.

It's all up to him when he pulls the trigger on the whole thing.

And he needs to bring in some heavy on both sides of the blue line, it's not like he doesn't have the cash to spend.
