You act like players not developing into NHLers after being highly projected is soley a Flyers problem and its not exclusive to us. It is a coin flip. theres probably 10+ players in EVERY first round that dont develop into NHLers, the years between 2016 and 2018 just stand out for us because we had alot of failed coin flips.

I’m going to ignore this farce of a Sanheim/Bonk comp and simply ask if you’d like to use the benefit of hindsight to retract something, anything really, related to Phil Myers.
Myers is that really hot babe who allowed you to pick her up, you get her undressed, thinking man I'm out of my league, then she lies there like a dead fish and acts like she's doing you a favor and are you finished yet? Suddenly you realize why she was available.

Poor Myers.

Went from a unicorn to a dead fish by the same poster.

Note, that same poster has also called Radcliffe and Fedotov unicorns
no one gives a shit about what was said 7 years ago about prospects idk if you expect that to be a mic drop moment or who youre even talking about but people get excited about prospects all the time thats a fan thing its called optimism, some of us can be disappointed and not be bitter about it for years

Last year I had fedotov tops after an outstanding Olympics and khl championship. I expect him to be rusty but the talent to succeed is absolutely there

ANYWAY…I really like Ersson and think we may have a Hart replacement with him or another.

What I take away from the prospect pool and rankings is the power of adding elite talent to the top. Pushing Cutter to 2 makes a world of difference to his appeal. Move him to 4 after this draft and we are in business!

When you are on the first pairing of a WJC team Canada that wins the gold medal, I’ll take you seriously. Myers laughs at you. Hell didn’t Jake tell you to STFU? Ps your burners are working too hard

Since Jake told me to shut up, he's been on a career death spiral.
Myers was traded, waived by his second team then sent to the AHL by his third team.

None of those players went elsewhere and produced, we've seen numerous players blossom with new teams around the league.
Obviously, they were grossly overrated.
Who thought Myers and Sanheim had first pair upside?
Flyers were ranked 14th by Wheeler in January, they're sure to be top 10, maybe top 5 this summer.

It's almost like when your shit development wrecks players they can't get magically fixed.

You openly had Nashville say the Flyers ruined Myers and they had to try and fix him. Even they couldn't do it.

Not one of our guys have succeeded BECAUSE of our development team, rather despite it.
Nashville sure gave up quickly, sure sounds like a guy who convinced them he can't be coached up. If they thought they could turn him around, they could carry him for a year on the third pair.

Assistant coach] Todd Richards has been working one-on-one with him on the off days," John Hynes told media on Tuesday. "Some of his puck skills, I think some areas like his positioning with his hands and his shooting. Things like passing and receiving. Little tweaks that we think can be a little bit better."
He also mentioned that Myers has been working with a skating coach.

"The other part is we are doing some things with his skating. He's a really big, strong, fast skater... just some things like balance and center of gravity. We have a skating coach that's come in and worked with Philippe on those situations."

But... isn't it a bad sign when the defenseman you traded for (who has already played 115 games in the NHL) needs to work on virtually every element of playing hockey, including skating, balance, passing, puck skills, and shooting?


Maybe the big question is, what DID the Flyers develop on a guy good enough to be a top pairing Dman for Team Canada before the Flyers got their grubby hands on him?
