devpool Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 2 minutes ago, devpool said: They needed to move Hayes, and everyone knew it. The coach hates him, and while he might not be a bad guy in the locker room he's a horrible example to have around a young team on the ice. He plays lazy and he doesn't defend well, the exact opposite of what they're trying to instill in this team. He had to go, the whole world knew, and thus you get a crappy return. Holding onto him hurts the team more than helps in terms of building a winning culture. I liked Hayes (not the contract) his first year but he became a lumbering turnover machine and offered nothing defensively. So awful defensively that torts moved him to wing for a while Edit: also the biggest downside of having such an outspoken coach like torts, he was basically telling the entire league how much Hayes sucked all year long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devpool Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Good article on why the return on this trade is to be expected and why it's pointless to cry over spilled milk https://973espn.com/rome-wasnt-built-in-a-day-neither-will-the-flyers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devpool Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Benson Michkov Smith Any of those at 7 and I'm ecstatic. Wouldn't be upset with Leonard either. I really think if Benson makes it to 7 he'll be the pick. Amazing production (2nd in points in WHL behind only bedard) and his biggest knock is his size (5'10" ~160). With Briere at the helm, I can easily see him seeing a lot of himself in Benson and making that call. Kid's only 17 so he can easily put on 20-25 pounds by the time he reaches the NHL and be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to be playing with Gauthier next year and can develop together. Plus yesterday was a ton of smoke around ryan Leonard. Prior to that sounded like they were really high on michkov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be as excited if they pick him OVER any of the other 3 but if they're all gone he'd be a very good consolation prize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devpool Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Here we go, draft begins. F Chicago, clearly fixed for them to get #1 after toews and Kane left this season. Hopefully we can grab a couple of studs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devpool Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Bedard, Carlsson, fantilli, and Smith off the board. Benson, michkov or Leonard will be available at the flyers pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazehound Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Love the Michkov pick. If you’re the Flyers, they needed to go for the highest upside talent and they did just that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
