Post-Game Talk: #19 | Flyers at Islanders | November 22, 2023 | Loss 3-2

In an alternate universe, the Flyers signed Eric Tulsky and Jim Montgomery and they can beat the Islanders

I want the alternate universe where the Flyers drafted first overall in 2007 and beat Chicago in 2010.

Strategy is pretty much what they've stated - build the team long-term while competing in the interim.

Not sure how the Islanders comparison is a thing.

Don't see anyone in the Islanders' pipeline comparable to players like Michkov, Gauthier, Bonk, etc.

And even looking at the AHL clubs, the Flyers have a lot more younger prospects than the Islanders have in Bridgeport.

The Islanders comparison is a thing because it's what this management group explicitly cited.

Building the team long term while also competing isn't something this group is remotely capable of. It's what they tried with Hextall.

The Flyers had the best prospect pool in the league at one point a few years ago. They developed it into a minimum. Same people are still here.
