I didn't see anything, but I had to answer who is that. Once I realized I knew saying I'm not sure wouldn't go over well.

This is GM 101 on how to lose your job. You always take the best player available and don’t draft for need. These players are minimum 2-3 years away and your team can look radically different in that time. This isn’t the NFL.

They didn't teach that in the Wharton online certificate program.

check out Jett's pre draft interview. I think we might have a good deal here. Remember these are kids. The more they talk about the nuts and bolts of hockey, the more likely they are are improve.

If they passed up a potential 1D to draft a lesser players due to organizational need. That's malpractice and a fire able offense.

They'd be lucky to get him there. He's super skilled.

Ultimately it’s a head scratcher for sure. It’s not the kids fault so I’ll root for him to be successful. My only point is I hope they drafted him because they see real upside to be a top six guy and not a for sure NHL bottom six guy.

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.

He’s a stooge. A flyers stooge. Talks mean game but when in front of flyers always giving that hawk-tuah spit on that thing

I gotta do the Allen Iverson but not about practice but projections. I mean we’re talking about projections. Y’all mad about what mock drafts told you, in terms of projections…

Draft picks are lottery tickets. None of this is set in stone.

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 because no one had Richardinson or Zeev falling to 11/12

I'm tired of hearing this....if they were all luck why do teams in EVERY sport pay people to show up to watch players? Answer why?

Just wait for the great Pronman list to come out and boom, easy peezy.

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.

Flyers fell in love with the kids own comp

I love it. Great reminder as to why I’ve given up on this team. A 2/3 C at 13. For a 3rd round pick. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hope the Flyers get a chance to pick Cole Hutson or Alfons Freij with #32...

Well until they trade it for an extra 4th and 2nd.
