Hey, everybody, how you doing? Well, that's good. Welcome to PHLY Flyers, the shootout

0:05.9

broadcasting live here at the X-Finity Studio. I'm Bill Mats. That's Kelly Hinkle. And we have

0:12.9

been having so much fun with mailbag questions. We figured, why not wrap it up with a little

0:17.9

bonus content for you? Because, Kelly, I saved this one for you because I thought you would have strong thoughts about it.

0:25.4

I really thought you would. And it is from Pachianke Patsy. He asks, or she, I don't know. It looks like a guy in the picture, but I can't tell what the picture is.

0:35.6

It might be like John Stevens. Yeah, it might be like, it might be Howie Roseman.

0:39.6

I can't tell from here.

0:41.0

Would you rather have Zev Bouillon, Gabe Perrault, and James Hagen's, or Porter Martone, Jet

0:49.3

Lucchenco, and Oliver Bonk?

0:51.4

Now, it is an interesting question

0:54.6

of Ziv Bouillon, Gabe Perot, and James Higgins.

1:08.4

The fact that it's a three-for-three,

1:10.6

like, would you swap it straight up? Because Hagen's and Martone to me, I was like, I don't really care. I'll take them both. I kind of like Martone a little more because I think it's a guarantee his game translates. Yep. But if they had gone Higgins, I'd be like, hell yeah, we got the guy who probably could have gone number one.

1:28.1

Right.

1:28.3

Like, he was the presumed number one a year ago. And then suddenly didn't have the superstar year in the NCAA as a freshman. Right. So he fell. And he fell pretty far. Pretty far. And the flyers ended up going. A few teams passed over him, yeah. and the flyers end up going with Porta Martone, who I think I liked more, but it is a debate.

1:29.1

Now, Luchenko and Bouyam, that was a, at the draft party, a groan-inducing choice. When they have Booyum, he's there, trade the pick one slot.

2:01.9

Minnesota takes him,

2:03.4

and then the flyers come right back and take Jet Lucenko instead.

2:05.3

And then the Bonk-Paro thing,
