Lets do this!
We also dont know what Hagg and Morin will be, maybe they will be 4/5's and the two picks will be stars. What i do know today is that Braun at 32 is NOT better than Hagg and was a waste of two picks also two young players development.First off, if that's the ceiling you see for them, then we are on the same page. Hagg is already a decent 5/6, there's barely any more 'development' to go from decent 5/6 to solid 5/6. And beyond that, who cares if they develop from a decent 5/6 to a solid 5/6?
If the young guy can't project to be a top 4 guy, I don't care that much about his development being stunted in an attempt to be more competitive in the short term. Acquiring Braun is that attempt. Maybe Fletcher is wrong and Braun doesn't improve the team, but in that case, Hagg just comes back in. And you wasted a 2nd and 3rd round pick. But we literally cannot know that today. We'll have to see how the season goes. With where the Flyers are, I'm very on board for risking a 2nd, 3rd, and 'decent-to-solid development' to try to get better today.
And I feel like we must've done a number on you during the Hextall years. Las of seasons passed would never be lamenting an attempt to make today's team better because it hindered prospect development. You're a new man!
