Our INSTANT reaction. Philadelphia Flyers went all-in on the rest of the first round and selected Windsor Spitfires center Jack Nesbitt at 12th overall. They traded the 22nd and 31st overall picks to the Pittsburgh Penguins to move up.

DEFINATELY NOT A TOP PICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
smh
A POOR CHOICE @12.
He was surprised/shocked to be drafted so high
This one is a head scratcher even if another team was going to grab him he wasn't worth it at 12 at all.
Was like a panic moveβ¦
Canβt skate, canβt score, doesnβt dominate in his league. Bad pick as #12. If he doesnβt have developed skills already he wonβt.
Maybe 4th liner if he develops skating.
Very bad pick espiecially at 12 I dont believe that very dissapointed
Other than michkov, and now martone, whereβs the skill? TK and maybe forester of course but this pick at 12 is ridiculous
Worst pick in the first round
?????????????? wtf bad move flyers
I'm not as low on him as everyone here
AGAIN. They did it AGAIN. In past Drafts; the Flyers could have drafted Cale Makar They. Done. F'ed. Up. AGAIN.
Feels like they gave up a lot for a little they could have got Jackson Smith. Or just stayed where they were and got him or moved up just a few picks and got him. Well …… I guess will see
Missed it: Who was #1 overall?
We all knew the Flyers would manage to do what they always do, reach for a player who wonβt pan out.
Listen, I get what everyone is saying but you canβt teach size. This kid is big! and my take on this whole thing is he played with porter on team Canada. This kid with 10-15lbs could be huge. The flyers needed to get bigger and yβall forget if we get shabanov itβs another small
Guy. They will sign rybakin tomorrow which will be another center and a goalie. Lastly, the flyers arenβt winning anything anytime soon. So we all need to relax.
We also thought Luchako was a reach. Lets see what happens π€·ββοΈ
I hope he makes you all eat crow
Bad teams always try to Out smart everyone. Just a confused organization sad
I usually will want to give a prospect some time to develop before trashing a pick but holy shit is this a terrible pick and waste of premier assets. Using 2 1sts/12th pick on a prospect like Nesbitt is malpractice. There are a few tall project 20-35 ranked prospects like Nesbitt every year and pretty much all of them bust every time. They become nothing way more than they become core guys. See Morin/Ratcliffe … They shouldnt be taken anywhere in top 20 let alone 12th. This is likely Morin 2.0 and will Eklund/Bear/Smith will be Morrissey/Pulock etc.
Everyoneβs is saying he sucks when NHL has him as the 15th best skater in the draft!?
You traded UP for this guy? Briere hired good old boy Tocchet and now this. Clown
Why so negative fellas thus is great to see size and postion bith checked. Flyers are really getting better finally
Why cant Flyer media just come out and criticise the organization or be a little pissed off. Its like a cult!! None of these creators can muster a spine and criticise Dann or Jonesy!!! I dont know whats more pathetic, the nesbitt debacle or spineless media covering for this choice!
Goddamn Flyers fans are always so doom and gloom, with absolutely no optimism. Yeah, I get it, the Flyers have sucked for a long time now, but damn, you guys act like they just wasted the pick that would have mostly certainly been used for the one guy that would single handedly win the Stanley Cup for them for the next 10 straight.
The trade was too "rich"? They swapped their 22 pick for 12, and it cost them their 31st overall. That's not a massive loss like you all seem to think. They now pick #36, #40, and #48. It's not a big loss, not enough to fkin roast this guy and the organization.
I wonder what two 1st round picks could get you in a trade instead of Nesbitt? Lets say Noah Dobson I bet that could happen. Briere is a dumpster fire
