Murray is the only one, I'd say. Svechnikov has more points than Patrick, and he's an 18 year old rookie. And from Patrick's draft year, Hischier is ahead of him (almost double the production), but also Pettersson and Heiskanen (as a D-man), and both those guys are rookies this year. You could say the common theme is that we had the #2 pick in poor draft years... or you could say the common theme is the Flyers. In retrospect, should Patrick have spent one more year in juniors? Wondering if it was really fair to go from missed junior season due to injury straight to the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself i think the Flyers more Hextall wanted him in Philly more so their doctors could keep a close eye on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's a good call, because the Flyers medical staff is well-known for top flight player medical care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
