We are back with Episode 132, and there is a ton to talk about. The 2026 NHL draft is officially in the books, and the boys go over the Maksim Sokolovskii pick at 27 and some of the traits we love from the tall defenseman. We also go over the Brek Liske pick and how he's more than just a Flyers fan who was picked in the 2nd round.
Is the Flyers' overall draft strategy something you think will work? We discuss the decision to drop back in the 1st round for more capital and the emphasis on size and defensive projects. Why did they pass on two extremely talented offensive defenseman in Villenueve and Bleyl? We hand out our grades, discuss the "size vs skill" debate, and look at how this class fits the current #8 (Wheeler) prospect pool.
Finally, we got hit with Zach Werenski declining a trade to Dallas midway through the podcast. What does his wanting to stay in the East mean for the Flyers? Is it Werenski or bust for Briere? Are the Flyers in on Marchenko? What about Nikishin? We break down what realistic packages could look like!
Analysis, Prospect breakdowns, VERY STRONG OPINIONS... and a lot more in Episode 132!
