I believe in coach taco and I think he should have at least this season

Rick Tocchet when Danny drafts another Russian player

[u/Diarrhea_Beaver → u/MortyMcflyer48]

"Well Rick, Ive got bad news, good news, more bad news, and finally more good news aboot our draft plans with these top picks.

The bad news is that we're going to draft a Russian and I know you hate Russians. The good news is that he's under contract with the KHL until 2030. The bad news is that we're working on pulling some strings to get him over early like we did with your current favorite Ruskie. The silver lining and final good news for everyone involved is that even if we magically got him over here for this upcoming season and hes ready to play, you wont have to deal with yet another Russian on your team because you're fired, effective immediately, regardless of what happens."

[u/Clean_Candidate3400]

Can’t wait to get shafted and they pick BPA in one of those wingers

[u/BobBobson3994 → u/Clean_Candidate3400]

Drafting BPA wouldn’t be the worst thing though. We desperately need a center and can flip that player for one.

[u/Clean_Candidate3400 → u/BobBobson3994]

[u/jamalev → u/BobBobson3994]

Right now it’s looking like DuPont, then Skvortsov, then the rest of the pack. Would like both but hoping some centers look good enough to take high in the case we’re not picking top 2.

[u/callofthevoid_ → u/[deleted]]

Yea that’s by drafting BPA and flipping for picks…

[u/JSinisin → u/[deleted]]

Being cute how?

[u/Fx08]

Lose for Landon. 75 more games to go.

[u/luckytaurus → u/Fx08]

Theyre not called losses, they're called Dupoints

[u/mrazcatfan]

I can’t wait to have the best draft odds and then get jumped by Chicago again.

[u/cbs326 → u/mrazcatfan]

Or New Jersey.

[u/MutanteHDP]

Landre 'Moose' DuPont

[u/Torvus_742]

Let's say this happens.

Do we think Tocc actually gives ice time to any of these guys?

[u/StillCircumventing → u/Torvus_742]

Dude if we finish last Tocc will be gone

[u/BearsFan3417 → u/StillCircumventing]

Tank commander Tocc at this point

[u/ryanlozo → u/Torvus_742]

This is making me nervous as well

[u/Drikkink → u/ryanlozo]

If we end up with 1OA and he lasts the season, I sincerely doubt he'd last the offseason.

This org doesn't want to eat his salary for sure, but going from the playoffs and a standing ovation after a 2nd round of getting swept to 1OA would almost certainly be enough to get Comcast to decide that it'd cost them more to keep him around in terms of lost revenue from fan engagement.

Now whether any replacement would develop players well remains to be seen.

Another loss for Landon DuPont

[u/highfivebro91]

Im a on the fence about Nazar. I like carter Meyer if not nazar.. another good russian could be very helpful for getting the most out of 39

[u/Embykinks → u/highfivebro91]

They would 100% take Meyer over Privalov for the same reason that everyone in the front office has their jobs.

[u/Relative-Gas-1721 → u/Embykinks]

I just learned that Meyer is Freddy Meyer’s son. The Freddy Meyer trade jumpstarted the rebuild in 2006/07

[u/Embykinks → u/Relative-Gas-1721]

I remember being so angry when they traded him for Zhitnik because it was such a Bobby Clarke move and I thought Homer was going to be different. Then they traded Zhitnik straight up for Coburn. Knew after Coburn’s first game he was going to be a part of the future

[u/partymcflyer → u/highfivebro91]

is carter meyer the 1c in quebec or is still quinn?

[u/highfivebro91 → u/partymcflyer]

Yes for the ramparts

[u/partymcflyer]

privalov wasnt sent down my mistake he was called up but has 0 points in 13 games

[u/YerFucked → u/partymcflyer]

That scared me at first but he's like 12yo and 6'65577"

[u/BigBroDave]

I like any of those top 4, so maybe it would be better if the Flyers get 2 of those and they don’t necessarily select given their awful track record.

[u/trevallen39]

What are our thoughts on Privalov vs Joseph?

[u/Longjumping_Side3144 → u/trevallen39]

The /LW scares me, I want a guy we KNOW is a center

[u/Sabunn → u/trevallen39]

From what I have read Joseph is a very divisive prospect. People are pretty down on him for a weak hlinka showing. I have even seen people have him out of the top 10 on early rankings. Still a ton of hockey to be played tho, maybe he rebuilds his stock.

Personally I am high on Neuenschwander as maybe the best C, but it’s not clear there is a 1C in this draft. Maybe one of the Russians but they aren’t exactly getting a lot of ice time or playing big roles right now

[u/SadYotesFan → u/Sabunn]

I’ve seen this as well

Joseph is trending downwards

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was available with the Toronto pick (even if they didn’t end up moving 10 spots)

Really a make a break year for his draft value

[u/ProfessorDerp22 → u/SadYotesFan]

Landing DuPont and one of these centers would be an absolute dream scenario.

[u/amilbarge00 → u/ProfessorDerp22]

It’s Landon.

[u/jmflyers → u/amilbarge00]

Idk if you're joking but he meant landing as in acquiring

[u/willmcavoy → u/jmflyers]

He's not Joking, he's amilbarge00

[u/amilbarge00 → u/willmcavoy]

Highest of fives.

[u/amilbarge00 → u/jmflyers]

Of course I was joking.

[u/msivoryishort → u/Sabunn]

Very divisive prospect sounds a like a textbook flyers pick

[u/infidelappel → u/msivoryishort]

Or it really sets the table for them to reach down the board for some safe try-hard instead of taking him, should he be the best option at our spot. 

[u/Embykinks → u/msivoryishort]

He’s gotta be either a really bad skater or a really good skater that isn’t good at anything else

[u/Relative-Gas-1721 → u/msivoryishort]

Every flyers prospect:
Good speed but a terrible skater.
Great vision but questions about hockey IQ
Undersized yet lumbering
Excellent playmaker with limited offensive upside
Projection: Middle six winger

[u/TheEnormusPenis → u/trevallen39]

A lot of people are cooling on Joseph right now. Everyone around him has caught up physically a bit and he's looked much worse.

[u/Annual-Ebb-7196]

Amen

[u/Relative-Gas-1721]

Give me the 6’5” center at 2

[u/TheMightyCatatafish]

Genuinely my only fear is getting the top 2 picks, only to absolutely tank the development of our young guys who would in theory be the supporting cast of our contention window.

[u/Guilty_Goal_7888 → u/TheMightyCatatafish]

We can go back to giving a shit next year we kinda been doing tank a year try a year under danny I cant tell if its a terrible strategy or not tho

[u/Practical-Detective2]
