Not thrilled we got the 5th pick, really would have loved that #1 and shane wright

fletcher said he could trade down too so we might not even draft 5th overall
i think we should though but ayy who knows what happens

odds on giroux re signing with flyers after this season?

i think it depends if he wins a cup
but probably pretty low tbh

they just said during intermission that trotz is meeting with the flyers within the week
hes got lots of interest they listed like 5 teams for sure interested and they say that flyers dont seem like they are in a rush even if it means they lose out on a candidate

but in the season ending presser fletch said they were gathering to find what they wanted in a coach and trotz is the first guy they are interviewing so he likely checks off their need list
and tbh as a fan i kinda feel like trotz could be the guy he makes teams play better defensive hockey which is what we need bring some structure to the teams game

and dave scott the owner guy basically said fletchers got unlimited funds to get what he wants staff wise so if trotz is his guy he might just throw him a big offer

Flyers sign defenseman Adam Ginning to Entry-Level Contract Philly's 2018 second round pick inks two-year deal
https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/flyers-sign-defenseman-adam-ginning-to-entry-level-contract/c-334138348
ginning has like 200 SHL gp and hes still only 22 there is some potential there i remember when he was drafted the tsn guys said they were surprised he wasnt picked in the 1st

Flyers re-sign defenseman Nick Seeler 2way 775k
i dont mind this he was pretty good this season and seems like he can be a solid 7-8 guy and thats pretty cheap

prospect update if anybody cares prob not these are ones we didnt see in the nhl and had good seasons
this excludes brink york frost tippet cates allison attard zamula ratcliffe hogberg sandstrom who all had at least 1gp in the nhl

Elliot Desnoyers (LW) QMJHL 61gp 42g 46a 88p 2020 5th round pick 11th in league for points 7th in goals
Connor McClennon(RW) WHL 62gp 43g 38a 81p 2020 6th round 12th points & 7th for goals
Owen McLaughlin (C) USHL 62gp 28g 44a 72p 2021 7th round 10th in league
Jon-Randall Avon (C) OHL 64gp 29g 39a 68p-undrafted rookie signing
Ethan Samson (D) WHL 68gp 15g 28a 43p -23 2021 6th round
Zayde Wisdom (C) OHL43gp 9g29a38p 2020 4th round
Olle Lycksell (W/C) SHL 47gp 14g 20a 34p 2017 6th
Emil Andrae (D)SHL jrs 41gp 9g 24a 33p+19 2020 2nd
Jay O'Brien (C)NCAA 24gp 10g 12a 22p 2018 1st -lotta fans think this guys a bust because he got demoted but he had to do that to switch teams and hes had back to back near point per game seasons at BU and hes still only 22 some potential
Tyson Foerster (C)AHL 9gp 2g1a3p OHL 13gp 6g 5a 11p 2020 1st he got hurt but had a good start to his season

goalies
Ivan Fedotov KHL 26gp 2.00gaa .919 sv% 2015 7th -fletcher expects him to fight for the #2 spot after signing him to an ELC
Matej Tomek Czechia 28gp 2.61gaa.908sv% 2015 3rd -hes 24 now not likely be anything amazing but he had some serious injuries in is early NCAA days that derailed his development and hes battled back into pro czech league could be a "late bloomer"
Alexei Kolosov KHL 22gp 2.90gaa .906sv% 2021 3rd -fairly young goalie with decet stats in khl seems somewhat promising

lots of later picks like 4th+seem to be performing pretty good which is nice to see hopefully they turn into some steal picks
Owen McLaughlin won his USHL championship and Connor McClennon is in conference finals tied 1-1

Flyers interviewed torts

ayy kinda hope hes not the guy
saw a poll on twiter for flyers fan to vote who their pick would be for coach lol
Barry Trotz 60.8%
Jim Montgomery 9.1%
Paul Maurice 9.1%
John Tortorella 21%

kinda feel the same way if trotz is there we gotta get him

apparently theres rumors flyers arent going to sign Connor McClennon(RW) WHL 62gp 43g 38a 81p

like what? why the fuck wouldnt you...
but he becomes an UFA i believe if they dont sign him to an elc

either this McClennon guy is super toxic racist guy or fletcher seems like a super dumbass here how can you not give him an elc like wtf
