Great episode guys!!! Always love it when Steve's on the pod

[@mr.fraitz3241]

I wish you guys would do 3+hours every week to be honest. I’m a nut and listen to every Flyers podcast on top of a few other hockey Pods every week. You guys are the best though, in my opinion.

[@flyersnittygritty]

Such an awesome compliment, thank you so much for the support. It means the world to us!!

[@vasiligianarakos1261]

Thanks for all of your support

[@deeadams2007]

Hey guys! Can we start the season tomorrow please? I'm so excited!!!

[@robertkirchner8857]

Outstanding show. I have been Involved with hockey for a long time. This show was a Clinic. Very Informative. As always well put together and thought out.

[@flyersnittygritty]

Amazing compliment, thank you so much for giving us the time. It means a lot to us and keeps us going!

[@Toedoro26]

Let’s Go Can’t wait to Hear Steve’s take on our Draft class.

[@robertkirchner8857]

Good point guys, you need protection of the younger players. Nick, Garnett, and Seeler provides protection for younger players as they develop. There are some players from other teams who would love to abuse Matvie etc. Makes them think twice about hurting our players. Cap hit is not important with their salaries.

[@TradingIsLife420]

Well good news is all those low level bottom feeders are signed for term into their mid to late 30s.🤦🏻‍♂️🤡💩

[@mrbone009]

Between Rodrigo Albo, Rizzo and now Anthony Richard we have a ton of depth at center

[@guidovalenti4986]

In the AHL yes

[@TradingIsLife420]

And NOT ONE legit future Elite Level prospect who looks like a elite level1C or 2C. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤡

[@flyersnittygritty]

@TradingIsLife420 Elite and 2C are very different things. I also wouldn’t count out Luchanko quite yet and Barkey still has high upside. So we don’t really know what he will end up being. If he was bigger he would have easily been a top 20 pick.

[@dallaslegge6335]

Great conversation!

[@christopherodonnell71]

Have a shot to corner the market in the 2025 draft, or trade up for the right guy. Very excited to see what DB can cook up

[@TradingIsLife420]

Nothing but low ceiling non elite prospects. More crabs in the bucket. 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤡💩

[@stackaleak]

I agree 100% with Vasili and Steve and would have picked Helenius at the 13th spot. When the Flyers go on their own and ignore the polls, they usually don't fare well. Jay O'Brien was ranked to be picked in the second round ( in the 30's) , but the Flyers overreacted and picked him at 19th. How did that turn out? German Rubstov was also a surprise pick at the 22nd spot in 2016. How did that turn out? Jett Luchanko was ranked in the middle to lower 20's, and the Flyers overreacted and picked him at 13th. How is this going to turn out? We'll see.🤞🤞🤞

[@guidovalenti4986]

The best move with Our 32 Pick maybe grew Up with a Trade and draft Luchanko There , and keep our 12 Pick and the best available player ( Buium, Helenius, Eiserman, ) Will see 🏒🤔 and we hope 🤞

[@boomer1049]

Jett will be better than his track record indicates! Bottom is #2 center but his IQ and speed plus motor will drive him to a top center!!!

[@TradingIsLife420]

5 years of "Rebuilding (10 really) and this team has ONE elite level prospect. They've done NOTHING new. Horrible trades sending Elite prospects out (Gauthier) for BUSTS that haven't played in two seasons. (Drysdale) Holding onto mediocre Veterans that should have been sold for picks and a better draft lottery position. (Laughton, Seeler, Ristolainen, etc. etc.) Turning down a 1st for Laughton? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤡 Signing Seeler. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤡 Signing Hathaway. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤡 Couturier signed into late 30s on a HORRIBLE contract looking 31 going on 40. Konecny's still here asking for a 10m aav. 70 point ceiling 1 goal in 22 playoff games Konecny wants to get paid like Tkachuk. And Flyers think he's going to turn into Marchand (doesn't make that much) all of a sudden. Failed to sell the 12th, 32nd, and LATE AF Avs 1st in 2025 for a 4th overall Elite Level prospect? Seriously? Why!? Too add 3 more low talent bottom6/bottom pair ceiling prospects? No significant trades or signings for ANY Elite talent in DECADES!!! This team is the absolute definition of mediocrity!!! And is heading NOWHERE fast. AGAIN! AND THE WORST PART is the gaslighting and lying about a LEGIT "REBUILD" while they make the same 🤡💩 moves that got us into this position over the last DECADE! No playoffs. No top5 picks. No Elite Level prospects (but Michkov) No future 1C. No future 2C. No future 1D. No future star goaltender. There are no high 1st round picks here. Worst PP in the league for 3 YEARS!!! And they try to make the playoffs (AGAIN) and FAIL to sell off veterans (AGAIN) and continue the same 🤡🌎💩 agenda that failed us with Hextall. So WTF exscly is new aside from Michkov? Who's playing Center for Michkov when Couturier is on LTIR, traded, plays like a 4th liner, or is scratched with Frost's underperforming behind? Poehling or Laughton? Same exact 🤡🌎💩. 🤷‍♂️

[@unholyhairdo64]

It’s a disgrace not letting Russian kids play internationally because of what their gov’t does. Explain to me the difference between Russia/Ukraine and US/Iraq, don’t worry I’ll wait.

[@boomer1049]

Yeah that's what I thought!😂😂😂

[@TradingIsLife420]

Absolute 🤡🤡🤡

[@warren_k]

Whataboutism much? Did the US go out of their way to totally and blatantly ignore the Geneva conventions rules of war, in every way possible, in regards to how they conducted their war in Iraq? No, they did not. How's russia doing in that regard in temporarily occupied Ukraine? If there is anything that is for sure a disgrace it is russia as a whole not just the government. No reason for your question to be asked in a hockey channel chat at all.
