Does this mean Eiserman becomes the next Bellows or Wahlstrom?

From Charlie O Connor

“Luchanko says his cousins are from Kennett Square. He hasn't truly been to Philadelphia but he's driven through it. Those cousins are here at the draft, they're especially pumped.“

Really? We doing this stupid sh*t again? Gauthier’s mom was from Reading. Who the F cares.

can confirm d!ckinson was their guy

Any chance they were caught with their pants down after they failed to trade up and he was selected pick before theirs? Seemed a little off at the table tonight.

No, they don't need that. They need speed and skill.
- MJL

Absolutely.

They passed on ELITE speed and skill from the backend for a fast third line player.

Another season gone and that’s what they passed on. If Buium turns into a stud that will follow Danny everywhere.

Players getting picked at 20 better than who we picked. Jesus (frank)ing Christ. It never ends.

A lot of summaries call this guy a bottom 6 or middle 6 guy. But then I’ve seen where a couple people compared him to Suzuki. I guess we have to wait and see and trust that the Flyers staff knows what they’re doing. He could be another JOB or another Mike Richards or another Scott Laughton. Wasn’t a name anyone’s been talking about so frankly I am not excited or disappointed.

Responsible answer. My frustration isn’t at this kid, hope he develops… it’s what they passed on to take him.

Flyers def have a track record of developing good offensive players.

Weird red flag for Hage...every time he hugs someone he looks up at himself on the board.

Strange.

Not sure what’s worse…Briere and his drafting or having to watch Chuck Fletcher on the TV…thinking he may be the better GM when alls said and done.

He compared himself to Suzuki. Richards and Laughton were picked in the 20’s NOT 13th overall when they had a shot at one of the top defenseman in the draft. If Luchenko went in the 20’s he’d be a fine pick. He’s a horrible pick at 13 and it’s especially bad with who was still on the board.
