Français Dans la première émission de Charlie depuis qu’il couvre le repêchage de la LNH pour les PHLY Flyers, il explique pourquoi les Flyers de Philadelphie ont repêché le c/w Jett Luchanko au lieu de prospects mieux classés comme Zeev Buium et Konsta Helenius.

If Jett’s hockey IQ is as great as I hear it is, he will be a great fit to help Mitchkov succeed long term.
Nobody knows how these picks will shake out so only time will tell. My beef with the Flyers is you say you are rebuilding then you have to put yourself in a position to draft in the top 5-6. Tortorella is the wrong Head Coach for a rebuild. They refuse to trade Laughton for some reason and other players on the roster that made them too good to be a team that has a chance to draft top 5-6. Last year was just a waste of a season when you end up drafting #12.
All 3 were worthy of being picked in round 1. Helenias was probably the closest in AHL readiness at #12, the other 2 should have gone much later. Biuim, although very talented, is undersized & the last defensive need on a Flyers roster already over-full of small guys. Luchenko gives them speed, a skill unheard of on Flyers' teams for years. But he's a project because he needs to improve in so many other areas.
Charlie is an idiot. Always can tell when he asks Danny or torts an interview question.
Isnt Luchanko also undersized? He's listed as an inch shorter than Buium and Zeev has proven he can dominate in big games.
I think Danny Briere knows more than these knuckleheads.
To me size on defense isn't the only important thing. Cam York seems to play bigger than his size. So it's not just about height but how tough and strong you play. Provorov was 6'1" but played soft in his final years on the Flyers.
If Zeev was this awesome can’t miss defenseman he would not have been available at the 12 pick. His stock for some reason was falling. My guess would be a combination of size, his agent, coming from college with his opinion of not signing with his drafting team could have stacked the deck against him. If a comparable tiered player at premium position is in that same range it is a calculated move.
We will find out in 3-5 years how it works out.
You are correct that the Flyers are NOT against picking smaller players, you pointed them out, but if talent levels are close I’ll lean towards the bigger stronger player as an asset. It’s a blend of talent that works best. Just like you can’t have a forward line of all shooters or all passers etc.
I’ve heard Jett’s game compared to Nick Suzuki from multiple hockey analysts. If he turns out to be a player like Nick that’s a win for me. Suzuki when we played Montreal in the playoffs in 2020 gave the Flyers problems with his speed and awareness.
