Maybe it's a good draft. Maybe it's a great draft. It's not the 2003 draft.

If it's a centre or a defenceman and the winger is rated a hair better, sure I'll take the more important position. This is more of a "we need a player at this poisition so we're taking the "6" instead of the "8 or 9" cause we have that.

There was a lockout the previous year....that was basically 2 drafts in 1. Arguably the greatest draft ever. That isn't this draft.

Herein lies the problem. While other teams have Potvin and Bossy down as BPA, we have Luchanko. And they think they're smarter than everyone when they take them. Then they keep them up, just to prove it, but don't play them, cause they're nowhere near NHL ready. Hockey and basketball are not the same sport. There's no ONE thing wrong with this org. But watching what the 6ers do or don't isn't going to help the Flyers./

Maybe we could trade some 1st rounders for Giroux and Voracek and the like...man, those vets just shot and shot and shot. I swear......

Doesn't this post read just like something someone wrote last year....and the year before?

Coaches dream...right there.

One can only hope. I think doing everything "The Flyer Way" never really had that window open. I really don't see Luchanko as anything more than a middle 6 guy in the NHL. There's nothing wrong with that. But Luchanko lining up against elite centres in playoff games won't get us far. But since he's already been up as a super young draft pick that everyone else missed on, I guess he's our future #1.

We do need quality at centre... but we don't need Kadri either. We need to build a team, not keep collecting old broken down parts.

Don't know what that guys smoking, but its not good. Don't get the Pinto love.... Pinto is 24 and has 3 g 2 a and 12 pims Ya, that's what we need. Foerster is 22 and has 6 g 4 a 29 pims.

Yaaaaa, no. DeLauriers might have scored one if he tried as many times as Michkov has.

It's what I hate about the showoff player. It's more about himself than the team. But he's the only highly skilled player we have, so here's where we're at. The fact that he's been so unsuccessful at it should turn on a light in his head (don't try it so much and they won't expect it). If he attempted 4 or 5 a season, that would be plenty for me.

Well Laughton IS getting older too. The good news is we're moving down in draft position to be able to grab another Laughton type players instead of the kind of player we actually need. The Flyer way.
