Was anyone here at the combine? Just curious wouldn’t crap on this kid… sounds like Mike Richard more than Laughlin. Truth is it’s a crapshoot… I remember when this board was drooling over NP. That turned to poop

Agreed it takes time to see if the players develops. Peter Forsberg was an off board pick too! I’m not comparing the two but I hope the Flyers got it right. Only time will tell!

We’re at pick 26 and the guys getting picked have more upside than our pick at 13. Unreal

FWIW, Pronman gave the Flyers a B and the Sabres a B- for Helenius. Of course, MN gets an A for taking Buium.

Right…. At least you can then say why tried to get the very thing you claim to need. High end talent. This team just will never learn. Status quo. Just sign tk and put me out of my misery. Won’t bottom out. Reaches for picks. Passes up clear better players with way higher upside just amazing. Surely they’ll market a great name (Jett) to get the morons like jd to hawk-tuah all over that thang.

Funny thing is I wanted them to maybe try to trade up a little for Jett. From pick 32. Lmmfao.

They are not going to market Luchanko, he will be put in the shadows for a couple years at least. By the time the 2026 draft comes fans will be like "Oh yeah I remember that guy, is he good yet?"

Well there goes that
- hereticpride

Hahahahahahaha they don’t deserve it. They deserve reach on d. Guaranteed. No doubt about it

Richie had twice the amount of goals pre-draft, had a Memorial Cup and was one of the top players for Canada at the World Under 17 tournament.

With all respect to Jett, his resume/profile is nowhere close.
- Tomahawk

I like the player….but not over Buium….if he was there at 32 great….or a minor trade up. The hype around DB is starting to disapate.

You think Shea Weber is going to the HOF? Hockey?
- Glak18

Wait, repeat this question…

Now that I've had a few whiskeys and time to think I won't judge their puck just yet.

Thwy chose Bonk out of nowhere last year and he panned out okay.

Thwy know more than we do about perspective so we will have to wait and see

Wonder what Michkov thinks of his new shiny plug

This why I hope they always make the playoffs….we would have ended up with the same guy anyways…

Forget playoffs. Ain’t seeing that for a long long time 🤪

If it was Yakemchuk the Dman left on the board, would have made more sense. Jett is so young, he will be in the CHL for another 2 years.

Elite talent fell to them. Literally, it was in their lap. They played it perfectly. And then they decided they needed to have Scott Laughton 2.0 ready to replace Scott Laughton 1.0.

But them not trading actually somehow worked out.

Yeah which makes it worse. Can’t fuq up mm pick. Can’t fuq up Zeev pick.

Db~ “hold my beer”

- Trox88

So he won’t even be here for 2 years at least. This pick just keeps getting better.

Wait, repeat this question…

I had to look it up...how the (frank) did Shea Weber make the HOF? Most time spent on LTIR? He has gold on Canada and some hard shot competition wins, but his accomplishment list is lacking greatly.

Who did he blow for that?

Update:

This news blew my mind more than the Flyers selection...how the hell did Shea Weber make the HOF? Do they let anyone in now?

He hasn't even filed his retirement papers yet....

Vodka here. Hahaha! Seems like a Good Friday night

Whats the dumbest thing they can do with 32? I wanna smash the over.

- Glak18

Well yeah true. But in a few years it’ll be market campaign. Hey wait a minute… maybe they actually do have a plan? Marketing 3-5 years out lmao

Trade down

I liked Yakemchuk a lot. I don’t see how they passed on the skill of Buium….

It does cause one to wonder “what is the plan”

How can they induct a player who hasn't even filed their official retirement papers? JFC induct McDavid in the HOF in the 2025 crop then.

I’m calling it now they trade down out of 32…

Srory will be tried to trade up…

Guy wasn’t there at 12…

Traded down twice to add draft capital….

We’re in rebuild for future….


Philly mouthpieces run to presses to print and shout from the rooftops how great a job they did and how smart they are

I don't either, they went organizational need. Jett is a late riser that Button nailed- incredible.

That doozy of a offer sheet Homer signed him to doesn't run out until 2026.
