Not great at any one thing…doesn’t that sound like most of the vanilla players the Flyers have always drafted. We need dynamic skill, I’m tired of the two way player.
He isnt just "good" in passing. We arent getting a 1c in this draft either, unless a miracle happens.
Don't trust top prospects coming out of the Q
I am not convinced Desnoyers is 1C on championship team but he is certainly a good player. I want more.
I just finished watching the Cup final. The Panthers showed what the Flyers lack — Marckov CLUTCH Verhaugue CLUTCH. Bennett CLUTCH. Rinehart CLUTCH Marchand CLUTCH Jones CLUTCH. Bobrovsky CLUTCH. Their entire supporting offense CLUTCH. Their entire supporting defense CLUTCH. The Flyers have 1 player who might turn out to be clutch, and he's just 20 years old.
As someone who's watched him live this season, I think whoever drafts him will be very satisfied. Moncton we have a good coach who knows how to bring the best out of players, and watching him, I think he's able to fit in any team. He's noticeable on the ice, is able to just help a line out well and elevate his teammates. Just let him round out his game and bulk up a bit. Even if you guys want a 1C, if he doesn't end up as such, having a strong 2C who can shut down the other team by playing smart hockey, take pressure off of your Michkov line in the future to get some points as well, THAT is a damn good piece. It's your pick, and it's a new era in Philly, but I think he can fill some of your needs. I hope he hits for whoever team gets him.
I know this is my second comment but you sold this guy short 100%. He has excellent passing, and excellent faceoff percentages. He CAN and WILL play physical. He is good at creating offensive plays (actually where he excells at) and is good a creating turnovers. Definitely a biased video.
