If you’ve been a fan of the Philadelphia Flyers for at least the last ten years, you know it is hard to give former general managers Ron Hextall and Chuck Fletcher a lot of credit for anything. From draft picks that didn’t pan out to bad trades to questionable free agent signings, they have put an unfortunate mark on this team. When it comes to drafting top tier players, they’ve had some successes, but surprisingly they’ve had a knack for selecting well in the lower rounds.
It doesn’t matter what sport you follow, you want the bread and butter of your team to come for the upper rounds.
