If this pick falls in the top 10, St. Louis has the option to defer to its 2019 first-round pick. It that happens, the Flyers also receive St. Louis' 2020 third-round pick.

Yeah. You probably want the pick this year though as it wouldn’t be shocking if they make the playoffs next year.

Yes. The Flyers will either be given the Blues pick in 2018 as described or wherever the Blues select in 2019 (1st to bottom).

Thank you for the clarification. I agree we want the pick this year, as I see them bouncing back into playoffs next year.

I’ve been watching that pick as much as I’ve been watching the Flyers recently. It’s looking good but would have looked a lot better if the blues didn’t stomp the Kings the other day. Big game tomorrow against the ducks as that’s one of the teams that they’re chasing. St. Louis’ schedule also gets easier later in the year so we really need them to lose right now.
That trade could look real good for the Flyers in a few years... real good.

The big question I have isn't whether the pick will be in 2018 or 2019. The big question I have is whether I will be laughing hysterically AND drooling when they miss the playoffs, or just laughing hysterically. This is a strict TBD, but I will let everyone know how it goes when they miss the playoffs, which they are definitely going to do.

A pick this year would be nice but scoreboard watching next year would be pretty fun with it being unprotected.
I wonder who wants 20th, 12th,+ for a top 5 pick. Half kidding, but something to think about

No... we sure as f*** don’t want it to go to next year (which it isn’t going to anyway).
Adding a third doesn’t make up for the first round pick being roughly 10 spots later.

And if they missed the playoffs in 2019 we would get the pick even if they won the lottery.

But the chance of them being this bad for two years in a row is slim to none.

I'm not talking about playoffs.
Even if they miss it next year, because of a strong conference, there's very little chance they're one of the 10 worst teams in the entire league.
Missing the playoffs this year might not really be a fluke for them, because as you said it's a tough conference, but I think how bad they've been is a fluke.

I dunno, I can see them being a bubble team again unless they land Tavares and shore up the C position.
We already know they wont have the benefit of 50 + games of Schenn being over a PPG next season. They will get 50 point Schenn all season. They get Fabbri back and could promote Kyrou and Thomas so that could be a nice boost. Their goaltending will still be wildly inconsistent too.

Tarasenko is also having a down year (by his standards) and losing Schwartz really hurt.
I'd bet on them being closer to top 10 than bottom 10 next year.

Sorry, carry on. I just think Mike Yeo is probably our greatest living comedian
"Hey, I know, let's fire Quenneville and watch him win some Cups with our most hated rival, then we'll hire a great big Kangaroo bastard so that we don't have any chance, and then we'll get this guy Mike Yeo to throw gasoline on this dumpster fire of a franchise"

Let's have Craig Berube as his assistant. Some called him cementhead, I personally call him Glory Days Coming
