Man Stizzle got his lad.

[mercury]

what school did he commit to?

They said Denver.

 

[BernieParent]

Stupid name is brink anyway....??

That work?

Now that he is a part of the Flyers' org, he can get his truck back that Fletcher backed up to Hayes' residence.

THAT'S how you complain creatively!

 

[FlyerNutter]

Don’t know a whole lot about him other than he’s a smallish guy with solid offensive skill.

Was projected to go higher too I thought.

Skating a concern?

 

[Embiid]

Mediocre move

 

[LastWordArmy]

He measured in at 5'8 1/4 not 5'10 at the Combine.

The article was written before the combine, but yes.

Mark the date down. Chuckie made a trade that fans are agreeing is thumbs up.

 

[BritainStix]

From his highlights, his skating is very, very ugly. Hopefully it's just a technique issue that can be corrected with a skating coach. Hopefully a Brayden Point kind of change.

 

[Here4ThaLids]

Ecstatic with this pick. He has a lot of work to do but he's projectable and this is a home run swing, which we probably all wanted.

We have tremendous USNTDP scouting and are using them during a great period for the program.

Personally I would have taken Boldy at 11, but York + Brink is even better and only cost a third.

Once a year. I smile.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

What a handsome bastard.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Friendly reminder that this trade doesn't happen without yesterday's trade down.

So take your pick: Caufield, or York+Brink?

Kid looks like a real scorer. Every team can always use more of them. Great move for the second round.

I choose C) Caufield + Brink, since Caufield was on the board. This is the 3rd post like this I've seen. People realize Caufield was available at 14 right?

Asking for a friend

I’m going to wait a few years before making my decision.

That way I’ll be right and my rage can be better justified.

 

[sa cyred]

Great post. The big thing I got from this? University of Denver is known to fix the issues of big time players that went there.

 

[Here4ThaLids]

Denver's gonna be good for him. They fix his kind of problems.

Good lord. This pick would have been unthinkable for the Flyers in past years. Hoping there's a sea change underway.

This pick is unlimited upside, and I don't mean that lightly. Bobby Orr's hockey sense and puck skills are top 10 in the draft at minimum. He's so physically underdeveloped, young for his class, needs serious skating work because his stride is whack, but his edges and short area are actually okay. This is a major work in progress with pure hockey talent and feel for the game that's rare. Not just that, but he competes his balls off. He demolished one of the best junior leagues in the world. Not did well. Demolished.

5 years from now, you might look back at a top 6 player who does everything with the puck on his stick at a high end level at ES/PP. You're projecting a lot of physical development. That's it. You have star potential if Father Time works his magic.

 

[FlyerNutter]

He’s going to need all the money he can get to score with the ladies.

He’s probably the ugliest dude in the organization.

 

[Juicy Pop]

That boy's skating ain't right.

I'll see myself out now.

 

[BernieParent]

Is this not the face of someone whom the vice-principal has to rescue from his own locker every week?

 

[General Joseph]

nice pick up ! The lad can shoot the rock for sure !

 

[BernieParent]

Mediocre move

Meh-vellous!

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Love that Fletcher was aggressive to grab Brink. He's got everything but the skating to be a great player. Reminds me of Brayden Point before his skating improved. Im very surprised he didnt go in the 1st round.

Great pick here, love grabbing anyone from this historically good USA development program. Very happy to have their #1D and one of their great offensive players

 

[Embiid]

Is Jackson Lacombe related to Norm Lacombe of Flyers futility fame?

So what you’re saying is, he’s kind of alright.
