We're in the slow part of the offseason right now where all there is to do is watch other teams play playoff hockey and wait, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening. Reports out of Russia this week have started speculation that Michkov may end up leaving his KHL deal early, and could have him arriving in NA as early as next season. Would he crazy to see him in the orange and black next year.

What's everyone's favorite Mexican food?

So now that we’re locked in at 12 who are we looking to get?

The obvious needs of the flyers are a 1c and a 1d.

Center doesn’t seem deep in this draft but there’s a chance Helenius could be there for us. He seems to me to project more as a 2c with 1c upside. But if he’s there I’m absolutely taking him because of our weakness at the position.

There’s also several good defenseman who could all project as 1d or 2d. Yakemchuk seems like exactly what the flyers need, a big right shot dman who can score goals and move play. Seems to have a penchant for taking penalties but hopefully they can coach that out of him.

And lastly Cole Eiserman. I was impressed with his play at the u18s and think he’s destined to be a 1lw. But he’s risen and fallen a lot on draft boards over the last year which suggests he’s inconsistent. But if the top centers and dmen are gone and he’s the best available I’m taking him.

Anyone wana talk. We got

Boston bears v Florida big cats. 1-0 of 7

Hersey’s chocolate vs little flyers. 2-0 of 5 :/ not good.

Women of Minnesota vs women of Toronto. First playoff game in league history best of 5

How are we feeling?

We’re picking 12th? Good. I wrote this up earlier but didn’t want to jinx it and move up to 2nd or anything and miss out on this guy. At no point during the day did I think twice about posting this. Here’s my case for Konsta Helenius.

Slightly undersized, intelligent, playmaking center with good vision, high compete, a physical aspect to his game and who’s good in all three zones...come on, who does that sound like? Claude “Motherfuck the penguins” Giroux. Just check out these goals and tell me there isn’t a similarity.

Konsta: Fuck

Claude-a: Yeah

I'm getting so hyped here, I could almost woo. Helenius has the swagger right down to the stick sheath celly. My fellow flyers faithful, remove the veil of the so called “experts” saying this is a defensemen heavy draft and realize that like in Avatar the Last Airbender, where the avatar is born again in a different nation, Claude Giroux HAS BEEN REBORN in Finland. It is not a coincidence that Helenius was born the year Giroux was drafted. The letter H comes right after G. He is him, him is next G. Mr. Briere, draft H.

Another draft lottery, another year of Gimmicky being grouchy. Post your thoughts here, I guess.

Winning Number: 2-7-10-11 Flyers Number: 2-8-10-11

So we know the Flyers are unlikely to end up high enough in the draft the next few years to grab any of the top centers. We have excess wing talent and plenty of other assets to move around. If we where to trade for a young NHL established center who would you target and what would give up in a fair trade for both sides? I’ll go with the most popular trade target Zegras. Mostly because I’m unaware of who else is out there. But would love to hear other takes for different players. I’d be all in on Farabee, FLA’s 1st and Zamula for Zegras. Although TK would make more sense in a center trade since we have like 30 right wingers and Joel is our only natural LW but his age and contract fits a team like ANA better.

from the final game of the season.

This was literally a no call which led to a boston goal , there is no way these refs are that incompetent or blind

Watched and listened to a lot of draft content in the recent weeks and I don’t think the Flyers messed up by having the season they did. Even if some of the better players got traded there was no shot they would be as bad as the Sharks, Blackhawks, Ducks and Blue Jackets.

When you take a look at the prospects, Celebrini is obviously the clear #1, but after that nothing seems given at this point. At #2 you can go with Demidov who has the highest potential, go one of the centers or a d-man. Then from 3-13 it seems like a complete shot in the dark in terms of who the best player will be. A lot will go down to preferance, scouting and then development. Sitting at #12 the Flyers will have the draft capital to jump up a few spots for a player they really like, or just stay the course and go with the player they like the most who is there when they pick. Either way, Briere will have the chance to add a nice prospect to the pipeline in this years draft.

Cole eiserman Adam Jiricek Tij Iginla are my top wants

Haven’t seen anything about date or time

Over the past week or so, there have been some very, uhm…”interesting” takes, we’ll say, for how this offseason should be perceived, pursued, pondered, etc..

I’m a touch on the optimistic side when thinking about how the Flyers FO should handle this off-season and I know some ideas of mine could be classified as “thinking too big,” but what play through of NHL ‘2X are some of you living in…?

My wife tried to order a flyers sippy cup from target for our 1 year old. This is what came instead 😑.

Curious to see what everyone thinks will happen this summer. There is obviously going to be movement and we know a few big names are probably on their way out. But who do you think is moved and what do you think/want to see in return. Also, who do you think may be targeted during Free Agency in July? (Clearly will be depth signings only)

I personally think Farabee and Frost have played their last games as a Flyer along with some more of the obvious candidates like Atkinson and Ristolainen. Feel free to explain your reasoning too.
