They took a big swing which I love. It's not nearly the reach people are thinking. Maybe he'd be there at 16? 17? Wheeler said there were 2 teams in the teens that wanted him.
People are disappointed with not getting Buium and that's understandable. I'll just say that there were several other teams who went against the consensus with their picks on defensemen and thats why he slid. There's something teams noticed that made that happen.
i was very skeptical of the pick initially, but i’ve warmed up to it. i really wanted dickinson or buium because i think it would have been smart to have targeted a #1 D in this draft and a center/centers next year. luchanko seems like a fantastic player and im very excited to see him in philly.
Thankfully these comments are a bit more optimistic than those of the “X” cesspool….nobody knows what a prospect turns into in a single day. His combine numbers are great and he fits a positional need. 1. See what you got. 2. Develop it. This regime still instills faith in sensible passionate fans.
I know he regrets not giving up what CBJ wanted for Demidov but we can’t dwell on it we’re stocked for next 2 years on draft picks. But the talent might not be as good as these past 2 years only time will tell. 2026 it sounds like Gavin McKenna the guy to move heaven and hell for. We’ll see.
Really let us down Danny. Terrible draft. Cole was still there. We all wanted Demidov but we understand that's a big reach. Better make major moves tomorrow.
I'm not drinking the kool-aid here at all guys. I think this team is making big mistakes. I don't like Drysdale. Another injury prone defenseman who can't play defense. Gauthier was a HUGE loss with a very underwhelming return imho. Luchanko looks like a solid undersized two-way 3C. I see German Rubstov 2.0 with some speed. High floor low ceiling like every other player on our tram right now.🤷♂️ So if these drafts are THAT important to The Flyers then wtf? This team needs a LEGIT FUTURE 1C with ELITE scoring or play driving potential. Why no Rutger McGroarty from Winnipeg? Why no Trevor Zegras? Why no Shane Pinto? Or Why no Martin Necas? Or Draisetl? Not even a shot on a Turcotte eho probably still has more upside than Luchanko. 🤦🏻♂️ But more importantly why no McGroarty!!!! 🤦🏻♂️ And why does Briere look like he just did a rail off a bathroom sink and hit peice of glass before he walked out? 🤦🏻♂️ Man. No future 1C with any kind of elite potential. No future 2C either really. No number 1D. No star goalie. Overpaid aging guys eith declining play. Our BEST HOPE is that Couturier retires early at this point and takes Ristolainen and Sanheim with him! Because NOBODY is touching those contracts. Bad contracts out the a-hole. I just dont see anything different in trades, contracts, development, or drafts going on here than the last 3 failed GMs. This team needs to strip it down and rebuild CORRECTLY. They're just wasting another decade on PAINFUL Mediocrity here. But yahl keep "Trusting".😂 I heard a lot of that during Hextall and Fletcher too.🤦🏻♂️🤡
Now they'll pay 70 point ceiling Konecny who has 1 goal in 22 playoff games a 10m x 8year (or close) contract and pretend he can be Marchand or Tkachuk. 🤦🏻♂️🤡 Even IF Michkov BECOMES Kucherov instead of Stamkos, Hedman, Point, Sergachev, and Vasilevsky, you have who? Couturier, Konecny, Sanheim and Laughton? York looks like the best defensemen with the highest ceiling on our team and he has a middle pair ceiling. And this undersized, overrated, lack of talent, injury prone team hasn't even SEEN the very different extremely physical playoffs in hoe many years and counting? AND how many ELITE top draft prospects have they collected? One!? ONE!!! 🤦🏻♂️🤡🤡🤡 Have fun. I'll check back when they fire these guys and start rebuilding again because these 🤡s REFUSE to do it right because THEY THINK they know better than 90% of the other Stanley Cup winning franchises.

In Danny we trust
Im totally with Danny!! Well said
I think this was a weak draft

Briere is cooking. 🍳So thankful he’s our GM.
Haley is such a terrible reporter. She asks awful questions all the time. Absolutely embarrassing.

definitely ripped a line right before this
Still don't love it, but Danny's calling his shot. We'll see

BOOOOO. You had an amazing defenseman in buium fall into your lap, then you fumbled it for nothing. Then you traded a first for essentially nothing.
this is holmgren, hextall and fletcher levels of bad.
Being a fan of this team sucked today. burn the franchise please.
