After looking into Luchenko and hearing Dannys reasoning, I think this os an acceptable pick. However after hearing that we arent getting the blue jacket pick this year, I am worried about our lack of picks in the next 2 rounds. I was hoping we were going to be able to pick up a couple of skaters and then take Nabokov in the 3rd. Good thing our front office knows more than me. Go Flyers!!
great, great pick by Danny B!! Absolutely love they were willing to use their own analysis rather than go with consensus.
Good pick! It's not always about a rated player but how he fits your team or the puzzle!👍Go Flyers!
I'll go ahead and say it…..WTF?
I think he could play the next 2 years in Guelph and possibly make the team out of camp in 27, we don't know
Also, you need a partner to trade back, right? otherwise what can you do?
Seems like just the center they need to feed Michkov.
Danny is stacking the deck for next draft, which is projected to have more talent then this year's
Watching Jett's and Danny's interviews, he definitely sounds like a player who would really impress teams. Late riser, great skater, young for the draft, apparently great work ethic. Could be a big time sleeper.
I just don’t see how you can pass on a prospect like Buium that fell right into your lap.
But as a Flyers fan, I hope Jett continues to improve and becomes a really good first or second line center in a couple years.
Love thie pick but we need 6'6 center
Bill and Kelly’s reaction is all of us. And Torts likely won’t even be the coach when this kid is NHL-ready. I want more insight from Charlie on how this reach came to be and the team’s rationale for reaching like this.
Sorry, but his weakness is not offensive upside. He has elite speed and has really good defensive instincts. He is only 17 and will get bigger and stronger. His combine stats are all top 5 as well. He is a freak and will be a 1C. Im calling it now.
JETT! Great name. After sleeping on it. I like this pick
I’m a U of Denver alum and huge hockey fan. The Flyers are my fav team in the Eastern conference. They fucked up bad last night. Zeev is a special, special talent and this decision sucked.
Bob is about as surprised as I was about the 23% hike on ticket prices back in 2021.😂👊🏾🫵🏾🙌🏾
"Weaknesses: Offensive upside" Oh, cool.
Jett is going to be a player after I read up on him and seen some of his highlights. Not way off the board at all too, he was rising fast. Other teams behind the flyers wanted him. Speed, work ethic, offensive upside. I thought Helenius too but give Jett a chance and some time. He’s only 17 too
Great pick. Called this in may
MEH…..Not impressed…..need prices around Michkov…..not a kid who may never make the NHL
danny says we will see in 2-3-4 years… so …
Now we have to get back to 2024, what happens for camp, what happens for preseason
