How does Flyers draft/develop so well, Farabee Konecny recently with mid/late 1sts.
patience and setting players up for success go a long way...
farabee, who was drafted same year as JKO, and has played far fewer games... was a .40ppg winger last year, and saw himself put onto the first line in the playoffs (playing next to Giroux).
this year given top 6 linemates & more ice time... rewarding his team for that.
if he were here, he'd have been playing with Byron, Lek, Armia et. and we'd be complaining that he doesn't look like more than a bottom-6 forward
