They took a big swing which I love. It's not nearly the reach people are thinking. Maybe he'd be there at 16? 17? Wheeler said there were 2 teams in the teens that wanted him.
People are disappointed with not getting Buium and that's understandable. I'll just say that there were several other teams who went against the consensus with their picks on defensemen and thats why he slid. There's something teams noticed that made that happen.
i was very skeptical of the pick initially, but i’ve warmed up to it. i really wanted dickinson or buium because i think it would have been smart to have targeted a #1 D in this draft and a center/centers next year. luchanko seems like a fantastic player and im very excited to see him in philly.
Thankfully these comments are a bit more optimistic than those of the “X” cesspool….nobody knows what a prospect turns into in a single day. His combine numbers are great and he fits a positional need. 1. See what you got. 2. Develop it. This regime still instills faith in sensible passionate fans.

Briere is cooking. 🍳So thankful he’s our GM.
Haley is such a terrible reporter. She asks awful questions all the time. Absolutely embarrassing.
