*GOOD MORNING FLYERS FANS. Fly By is late. Draft Party, a rousing success. More links will pop up here within the hour, but for now…
*…Danny Briere and Keith Jones took the stage last night and told all of us that they’re not doing things the old way anymore. Ron Hextall or Chuck Fletcher would never. Welcome home, Matvei Michkov.
*The 22nd overall was a little less thrilling, with many folks thinking the right choice was Oliver Perrault, but the Flyers decided that it was another NHL legend’s kid that needed to wear the Orang & Black.
*As everyone here knows, the Michkov pick has the chance to be franchise-altering. [Inquirer]
*Honestly the best part about this pick isn’t even the pick. It’s that the thought process behind the pick signals a real, true, new era. [The Athletic]
*Also Briere is apparently still shopping Travis Sanheim. He’s got a couple of days left on that clock. [Inquirer]
*Finally, a big huge thanks to everyone who came out to our draft party last night. It was a ton of fun and a huge success and if we missed you, I hope we’ll see you at the next one. 💕
