GDT: NHL Draft Lottery 2022 - FLYERS PICK 5TH -- Tuesday, May 10th - 6:30PM - (ESPN, ESPN+, SN, SN NOW, TVAS)

[Lurch]

A fitting end to the season lmfao

Think of it as the beginning of a new and even more terrible season. Unless something big happens this off-season, I think I’m already done with this team for 22-23.

Kevin Hayes tilts it to the Flyers side for me.

He certainly does tilt the scales

Worst season in franchise history for all intents and purposes and we pick 5th lol

Hopefully it works out the way it did for Colorado in 2017 moving from 1st to 4th (it wont)

I think jersey goes with slavkofsky number one which could throw every prediction off hopefully nemec drops to 5

 

[Lindberg]

Can you guys provide me of with an overall scouting report of Kevin Hayes? I've heard he's ideal #2 that was bought pre-covid.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Trading down and taking Snuggerud. Screencap this. Cuck gonna cuck.

Atoadaso

Check the date.

The latest mock for 2022 has us picking 13th and taking Isaac "Ike" Howard. I think the idea that there will be 12 worse teams than us is extremely optimistic, but I am confident that we will take a Stooge, or the offspring of a Stooge, in this case, Shemp's great-grandson.

2022 Mock Draft

EDIT: ... unless we take James Jimmy Snuggerud. Holy f***.

I've read several of the same post on different pages, is the thread broken?

More pain ahead

 

[macleish1974]

How gullible are you that we will not screw this up???????

 

[Lurch]

Well.....that sucked.......

I just got a newly released Grateful Dead album today (Dave’s Picks Vol. 1). Out of job, Flyers suck, Phillies suck, I’m just going to pour a massive glass of Bourbon, roll a fatty, and have several Troegs IPA’s while listening to the Dead and pretending everything isn’t awful.

If I had a nickel for every time the Devils won the draft lottery after I chose them in our mock draft, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's strange that it's happened twice.

More pain ahead

The only player with more NHL games than Mel Bridgman from the 1975 Draft was picked at 210.

 

[Tripod]

Just noticed that by the time we make our 2nd pick of the draft, AZ will have already made 8 selections.

That's pretty crazy.

 

[DancingPanther]

I mean they had the highest chance by far to pick #5. Why are you guys shocked at this?

How is Dave’s Pick 1 a new release?

I don't really do Dead but man I wish that was my life.

First time ever on Vinyl. Just released a limited edition of 5000.

The Flyers had the same number of wins as the most blatant tank job in years. What’s crazy?

 

[Curufinwe]

One more win and the Flyers would have been picking 2nd.

Yeah but you see, we had injuries. And covid.

I’m really not a fan of this weird revisionism of the 06-07 season where the Flyers were in last place, 11 points behind the next worst team.

As much as it gets harped on with JvR that’s really not bad outcome at all even if it didn’t end up the most ideal. He was still a top line winger for a good chunk of his career (top six at worst). The Flyers just traded him away during his peak years for a bottom pairing defender. The guy in front of him went on to become a HoF caliber player & scored the GWG against them in the finals. So the optics aren’t great but it underscores the actual math/percentages to these things.

It was also one isolated top pick. Usually bad teams have multiple kicks at the can with accumulating high picks. That’s what really mitigates the outcomes. Say the Flyers were one of the worst teams again in 2008 well then you’re walking away with Stamkos or Doughty possibly.

Toronto is another team where they really hit it out of the park with outcomes when they got Nylander (#8), Marner (#4), & Matthews (#1) with consecutive top picks. That’s two stars & a top line caliber players. Now that’s a pretty great outcome with that chances probably are unlikely in most cases to get those three outcomes but still they were playing the lottery on multiple occasions & not just a one & done.

Hughes & Cooley vs 32 year old broken down Coots and 30 year old broken down Hayes

Who ya got??

Adding 3 years to Couturier’s age is very Jtown.

Literally no one is shocked

I'd wager they won't make all 8 picks. But who needs the potential trade chips anyway, amirite?
