Owen Tippett, Jett Luchanko, 2026 first round pick, the Leafs 2027 first round pick. A conditional third around pick if Hughes signs. 😁
Hathaway and DeLauriers for Highes? Even throw in Zamula..
I like Risto a lot. He takes a lot of slack for no reason. I think he’s been much improved since his first season as a Flyer. #70
The comments section here is on another planet.
Idk what Tochett was thinking but Vladdy should have started .. Why Ers staryed was beyond me. Guaranteed that game gets to OT with Darth Vladar in net
I keep hearing all these pundits talking about Quinn Hughes…and the Flyers. Amazing player, but does it really fix the Flyers main problem? Which is INCONSISTENT offense. The Flyers are 100% basic average depth that is playing pretty solid team defense and steady goaltending from Vladar for the early part of the season.
Argument: Q. Hughes will bring an offensive element to the team that it has been lacking.
Answer: Absolutely
The problem: Q. Hughes still can't make others like TK, Michkov, Tippett not be so inconsistent. How many years is TK going to be "snakebitten"?
The Funny part is Vancouver and the Flyers really aren't that much different…Yes, Flyers probably have a better young core and prospects coming, but otherwise the makeup is pretty similar. The difference probably comes down to Demko injured and the Flyers getting more consistent goaltending from Vladar, without him they are in the same spot as the Canucks. Would Hughes make more of a difference on the Flyers than he does with Vancouver's group?
Flyers either need to spend their assets on a Young-ish, top end center more than an elite puck mover or tank and draft one. There are no other options. Even with Hughes they are a 1st round and out at best.
