The Philadelphia Flyers 2024-2025 Season: Progressing Towards Lord Stanley's Cup

[Maverick426h]

Risto out tonight.

We haven't had our customary 10 game losing streak yet this season. Here it comes. Then we'll probably punish Chicago and start another losing streak. If it remains that bad, we could actually end up picking 3rd.

 

[Maverick426h]

The two remaining games against Buffalo may actually decide whether we're 3rd or 4th in the draft lottery. The final game of the season is in Buffalo...Lol

Risto out tonight.

This leaves us with three very small defensemen on the back end. That's a situation that we need to resolve going into next season.

Bag it to Broad: Flyers Climbing the Tankathon Board After Five-Straight Losses

Let’s get it back to the Philadelphia Flyers, who have lost five in a row by a total aggregate score of 22 goals to eight. They haven’t been remotely competitive since going to Manitoba and beating the Jets in a shootout, and have fallen into a last-place tie with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the...

Currently we have the 7th worst record in the league, only 3 points from picking 5th and 3 points from picking 9th.

We will have to start looking at mock drafts of players in that range.

McQueen has my vote in the 5-9 range right now. It would be really cool to be in a position to draft Schaefer, Misa, or Hagens, but I think that will take some lottery luck. Desnoyers and Frondell just seem like safe 2C's, but probably don't have dynamic 1C upside.

Im a huge Hagens fan after seeing him in the WJC but like you said that will take some luck.

Hey maybe well get a good ping ping ball and trade down one spot and miss out on a cant miss prospect like last year.

The reasoning they gave is what concerned me about that choice. They said they felt like they were too small on defense. Which is a totally reasonable position to take. They are small on defense. But at the draft, particularly in the 1st round, the goal should always be to get the best player available to you. Particularly if the decision is between premium position (C, D) players. You fix the size issue down the road. If you end up with 6 Quinn Hughes on your roster because that's always what was available at the draft, your defense is too small and you won't win. But you can get a hell of a lot back for trading 4-5 Quinn Hughes.

But, Luchanko has great speed. At least they picked someone with a game breaking trait. Maybe he develops into something good/great.

By all the experts accounts we could've traded way further back and still have gotten Luchanko. He does have great speed and we are certainly have a need for speed on our team but the pick in that spot is Buium and then start making moves from there.

Just a small note, even though we are winning this game as I type, up until the 15 minute mark of the 3rd period, we have 2 shots from our Dmen. And as I type this the lightning tie it.

 

[eaglesnut]

Neither is Ersson. We can never seem to find a goalie that is an all star.

Oh we found one

 

[Maverick426h]

Got fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it) tonight and we were able to beat a Kucherov-less Tampa in a shootout. I still don't see us beating upcoming teams like the Caps, Canes, Stars or winning the rematch at Tampa.

Brink with 2 goals tonight. Where in the hell has that been all year!? Kid had 8 goals in 63 games entering the night. Just not enough consistency from our youngsters.

It's not just the kids either. Konecny has 22 goals on the season, but by my count, only 1 in the last 20 games. Ouch. He needs some help offensively. His back is probably tired from attempting to carry this team all season long. To further that point, he's playing 20:42 per game and no other forward averages even 17 minutes.

Quinn Hughes might not be the best example. Sure, he's smallish, but he's also right there with Makar and Werenski for the best defenseman in the world right now and he's slightly younger than them too. So, he might actually still get better. I'd take as many Quinn's as you would give me and idk if I'd be trading any of them either. I don't think size matters much when you're that skilled.

Team USA probably would've won gold in the 4 Nations if they had Quinn Hughes healthy and available.

I would love to get Misa, personally. There's the dynamic center that we need.

He will probably go 2nd or 3rd overall though. That's tough.

Well his trial begins April 22nd and is expected to only last 2 months so maybe if innocent he gives the Flyers another shot or vice versa. They didn't part on sour terms, so I think it could be conceivable he returns.

All we needed was Bobby Brink!!

Before the trade deadline the only real difference between us being out of the playoffs and Ottawa being in the playoffs was Ulmark plays for them and Ersson and Fedetov play for us.

We'll never catch the Sabres now

And the draft should go every other.
1. Worst team overall
2. Worst team in other conference
3. Etc.

Be prepared for an 8-10th pick in the draft.

And as crazy as it sounds, this is the mismanagement of this team that gets me irked!
