  1. Just imagine if the Flyers had Makar now. Would they have ever traded to get Ristolainen and Ellis? Would they actually be consistent playoff performers? Interesting to think about.

  2. Shane Wright sounds like Nolan Patrick same deal no? NOt having a great year in draft year, very similar.

  3. Man watching this guy in Brandon i knew he wasn't worth going 1 or even 2, maybe he should've been a second round pick. Now this comes out, gotta say i sure damn the flyers let's go flyers…

  4. Pettersson might be the flashier more offensively talented player but I’d argue Hischier is the more complete player and as a Devs fan I’m more than happy with Nico as our Captain. (Makar would be the name that has some regret out of this draft not Pettersson but hoping Luke Hughes can fill that role)

  5. These analysts are dumb especially bob mckenzie , i doubt he can even tie his own skates. Savoie is the prize forward in this years draft , cooley is solid to

  6. I remember back when hextall was amassing all of those picks. Every analyst ranked the flyers prospect pool top 3 in the league. They had a number of whiffs…German rubstov, trading schenn for 2 first rounders (great in theory, but when you can't draft worth a damn, it's pointless), including Morgan Frost. The Nolan Patrick thing hits harder than everything else because they could've had a number of game breakers. As a result, they're at least 3 years in the negative as far as a rebuild goes. Not to mention the even bigger problem of having owners who don't give a damn about the history of the team or jockey in general (Comcast). The flyers franchise as we know it died with Ed Snider.

  7. On the bright side we were able to get Ellis for Patrick which is a steal but still poor management on our part. Very Sad

  8. Hextall works for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Pens are kryptonite for the Flyers. No wonder Clarke is lashing out.

  9. Dang Lego. Love this post. I hate the Flyers and hated Goalie Hextall. Now I love Hex for doing this to the Flyers. I love posts that talk about NHL teams that missed out on a draft or trade they should have made.

  10. Makar=Generational talent. There is nobody like him today. He is in his own category. The speed, skill, edge work, acceleration are unmatched. People have tried comparing Makar with Heiskenan, Hughes and now Adam Fox who are all very good players in their own right. But none have the game changing impact like Makar. He's the first one I have ever seen do a crossover move on the ice similar to Allen Iverson on the hardcourt.

  11. I do find it interesting that Clarke is throwing Hextall under the bus now. If the Flyers did draft Makar, would they have waited 2 years for him?
    He had decided to stay with UMASS for 2 years for development. I have seen teams waste draft prospects to rush those players to the NHL.

  12. 10 scout in the room say: ”Take this Makar kid he is amazing” And Hextall just say that they take Patrick..I think the case was not that black and white. Clarke just want blame someone because their team is poor

  13. Cale Makar is only 2 career points below his career GP. He has the most GWGs and Gs among defensemen since his draft year.

  14. When Clarke was GM at the draft… he couldn't even remember Caude Giroux's name… Ex players, great or not, good work ethic or not, don't always make good execs
