Player development for the Flyers has been bad. I always point out that other than Giroux, I can't think of a player the Flyers drafted in the top rounds who exceeded expectations. At best, the players turn out as projected, and usually less than projected.
In the 17th draft , Flyers Scouts BEGGED Ron Hextall to Select Cale Maker with the Second pick , but Hextall wanted the slow guy from Hextalls home town Brandon. Hey Rachel you could have challenged your partner Rus on this. Hextall wasn't much better than Fletcher, if any.
I’m not ready to give up on Frost with MM. Frost might have someone who can think creatively like he does. It’s worth seeing.
I have only 1 request for this Flyers draft. I don't want to hear them say the word "UNDERSIZED".
Sharks trying to block the Flyers from getting their desired pick. That's why they traded up to #11.
Happy draft morning, I hope they don't pay an arm and a leg to move up for Demidov

I believe there is a Makar in this draft, Buium from Denver U
Would he have developed into the same player in the Flyers org? I doubt it
Hextall sucked. He drafted Rubtsov and O'Brien in the 1st and Ratcliffe and Laberge early in the 2nd.
He did little good for the team.
Also took pizza away! Bastard!
