Here's the Flyers' draft history. Its filled with misses and busts but also a few beauties. Draft position has been in the 20's except for the 2005 draft, where I drafted 15th, my highest position since I joined the league.
My best picks: Brent Seabrooke 1st rd, 26th pick & Paul Ranger 4th round, 2002
My worst pick: Brandon Bell, 1st rd, 2001, I was unprepared for this draft and many would recall i picked about 3 guys first who were already drafted. After several mistakes I believe I ran out of time and other teams were able to pick in front of me, after my panick attack was over I picked Bell. Luckily traded him to SJS in a large deal that involved Gleason coming my way.
Demitri Levinski, 2nd rd, 1999 My first draft. Fell in love with his speed and traded a few draft picks to move up. Big bust.
Sleeper: Michael Sauer, 2005 draft 2nd round. I believe he can become a top 2 defenseman. Had excellent year in Portland.
Worst luck: Jonas Johansson 1st rd 2001, as rookie was leading CHL in rookie scoring. After about 25 games suffered severe knee injury. After he returned over a year later he was never the same player.
