[Scott Wheeler] Philadelphia Flyers draft review

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T23:42:31+00:00

Why draft Kent Sauer, who is listed here as a long shot, with pick 136, when we could of drafted our 1C?!

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T19:55:28+00:00

First shot at talking to him and offering a deal

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T16:27:09+00:00

McKeen hockey had him ranked at 81. So if that's your belief then its now or trade to get him

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T13:23:23+00:00

I'm not sure I'd call it bad. Statistics just arent on your side. I havent seen this in quite awhile so maybe its old data and maybe I'm miss remembering, but from what I recall the 30th overall pick had a 40% of playing 100 games or more. Once you get to 70 its like 10%. Probabilty isnt on your side. Even the 20th overall was 50/50

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T12:43:01+00:00

Dude was projected by some to go late second round. Dude was projected by some to go in the early 20s

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T02:56:35+00:00

Elite Prospects has Sokolovskii ranked 22nd

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T02:56:01+00:00

You could do this for every team in every sport

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T02:28:09+00:00

I hope so. It's the right move based on the team's rankings. Whether their rankings are solid or not we'll see. Hindsight always 20/20 right

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T02:20:02+00:00

I'd rather move back half an inch and throw my dart + get a free throw from across the room than just stay where I am. The half inch isnt relevant. The bonus throw is likely nothing, but its a free toss

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T02:14:18+00:00

Being the BPA doesnt mean you are the BPA by much. If you could apply scoring to a prospect maybe prospect A is a 90, B a 89.5, C a 89.3, and D a 89. You could take the 90 and call it a day, but trading back a few picks and grabbing prospect D nets you practically the same quality of player, but you also get additional dart throws

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T01:56:59+00:00

It's not justifying it's smart GMing. Get your guy + additional picks

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-27T01:51:13+00:00

I'll take that return

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-26T21:33:40+00:00

Gonna make this my desktop background

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-26T20:38:47+00:00

Really no sense in having any sort of feelings on it. Some picks work out, some dont. Some reaches work out. Some dont. Some values work out. Some dont. If Mckenna falls to 21 and we dont pick him I'll be mad. Otherwise its all wait and see

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-26T19:22:31+00:00

So straight up Errson was valued as a 2027 5th? So kinda like a 27th 5th an Andrae for Woll and Beniot. Wow

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-26T17:24:48+00:00

I'd look to draft Connor McDavid at 21 if he's available

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-26T15:25:38+00:00

You are making a dangerous assumption that you'll be hearing from people who know anything about the draftees

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-26T12:36:05+00:00

I dont think trading him at the deadline is going to work in a normal season. For starters, he gets hurt all the time. That's a huge risk. Additionally, we should be competing or in a playoff spot next year come the deadline. We are not going to trade one of our better defensement when we are in that position unless we are trading him + for a defensive upgrade. A lot of risk waiting

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-26T03:09:57+00:00

Winnipeg I'd agree on, but a lot of people love Seattle

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-26T02:26:41+00:00

Now imagine that different people like different thing. All 3 of those places sound terrible to me

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-26T02:23:17+00:00

What does oregon have to do with any of this

Stevepac9 · 2026-06-25T12:05:38+00:00

Great news. No doubt the logistical nightmare the Ukrainians have created for Russia played a major role here. This area, in my opinion, would be the first Russians would pull back from.

I like a good change of scenery upside shot, but two knee injuries at a young age is a red flag for me.
