Happy Friday! There will be plenty of time over the next few weeks to look forward at the looming 2024 NHL Draft. But today, let’s look backwards. The Flyers haven’t been a fantastic drafting team over the last decade. But which picks were their worst? Which ones were their best? Charlie and Kelly step into the ol’ time machine and revisit the last 10 draft classes, breaking down the biggest hits and the most unforgiveable misses.   Learn more about your ad choices.

PHLY Flyers Podcast | F-Around Friday: Best and Worst Flyers Draft Picks of the last 10 years

The 2024 NHL Draft is only a few weeks away, and to help break it all down from a Flyers perspective, why not bring in one of the experts? FloHockey’s Chris Peters — one of the top draft analysts in the public sphere — joins PHLY Flyers to chat about the looming drafts and the top prospects. Who might be available at No. 12? What is Konsta Helenius’ ceiling? Will Berkly Catton be able to stick at center? Who could be good options with their late-first round pick? And what’s the leaguewide perception of GM Daniel Briere’s draft tendencies? Charlie and Kelly also chat about Wednesday’s Dan Hilferty/Keith Jones press conference, and more!

PHLY Flyers Podcast | NHL Draft Talk! FloHockey Lead Draft Analyst Chris Peters joins the show to talk Berkly Catton, Konsta Helenius

We didn’t get to hear from Dan Hilferty or Keith Jones at exit interviews a few weeks ago, but on Wednesday morning the CEO and PoHO held a 30+ minute press conference to answer questions on everything from Matvei Michkov, the trade deadline, the rebuild timeline, and the proposed reimagining of the South Philly Sports Complex. Charlie & Bill react to all of Jonesy and Hilferty’s quotes, and have a little fun with the Chairman & CEO of Comcast Spectacor after he joked with Charlie at the presser.

PHLY Flyers Podcast | Philadelphia Flyers CEO Dan Hilferty and President Keith Jones meet with media – PHLY REACTS!

We’ve got a bunch of different topics today. First, we’re using Rhys Hoskins’ return to Citizens Bank Park with the Milwaukee Brewers as a jumping off point to discuss moments we miss about the Flyers being a great team, and returns of beloved players like Kimmo Timonen and Claude Giroux. And as long as we’re talking about former Flyers, Charlie & Bill tackle the question “was the Bobrovsky trade the worst in Philadelphia history?” with Bob now back in the Stanley Cup Final. Plus, we’ll discuss the 2010 Stanley Cup Final, because on this day 14 years ago the Flyers won Game 4 to tie the series at 2, and it’s the last time they won a game in the Championship round. Finally, Martin Necas: does it make sense? Do we think it could or should happen? Tune in to find out!   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
