Speculation: Who will the Flyers draft if they stay at 11? (Not who do you want, who WILL they draft?)

[Ghosts Beer]

I expect the Flyers to draft Broberg. Then I expect to kick a piece of furniture.

I have convinced myself of this for months, but now it seems like Broberg won’t make it to 11.

I’d say that’s good, except now I’m worried they’ll take Seider.

 

[Tripod]

The problem that I have with your list is that too many of these prospects haven't been signed by the Flyers. Particularly Kalynuk. He may well go UFA after this season and the Flyers have lost out on him. Why haven't Holberg and Bernhardt been signed? Its not like the Phantoms have a ton of talent on defense for next season.

While I agree with the signing part, we still have Provy, Sanheim and Ghost at the NHL level. Niskanen and Braun should be gone in 2 year do we just have Myers.

 

[hatcher]

If ghost goes it 'll be a dman but I want Krebs.

 

[Amorgus]

I think Angry Orchard is where I am headed. If the can draft Angry Orchard and snag a second first rounder and land Pup'n'Suds I will be very happy tonight.

There's a mixed drink with Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey and Angry Orchard called Angry Balls, which we will eventually shorten to Balls. Let's do that!

Also if we get Krebs he's totally gotta be called Maynard.

Also if we get Krebs he's totally gotta be called Maynard.

Already have that covered, Morgo.

 

[Amorgus]

Already have that covered, Morgo.

Once again, you renew my crush on you.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Particularly Kalynuk. He may well go UFA after this season and the Flyers have lost out on him.

He can't.

Did Ginning have a good year last season?

No. But that poster spent hours complaining about people complaining about the pick. It's just a lot easier to pretend that the player is actually good rather than admit that you have no clue what you are talking about.

 

[Kettil33]

I hope it is the best available forward.

^ SO much easier to get quality D later in the draft ... use the 11 in a forward deep draft on a forward.

 

[Rebels57]

Did Ginning have a good year last season?

Nope. About as bad as you can possibly expect from a 2nd round pick.

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

I really want one of the Americans, Caufield or Boldy. After them, Krebs or Newhook.

However, i feel like theyre going to take a Dman and Seider reminds me of the Sanheim pick. I said Seider for this poll but I could also see them taking Soderstrom. However, i think BPA dman at 11 will be York.

We'll see. Honestly, i dont think the guy we take at 11 ever plays for the flyers anyway, I think he'll be traded for a roster player in the next year or two so don't get attached..

 

[ItMe]

Voted Seider but really hoping for Caufield, Krebs, or Boldy.

 

[Hockeypete49]

This is tough not really having a good feel for the new brass, but I went with Seider because of his ceiling.

 

[3Fs]

Cole Caufield falls into their laps....

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I dont have a real feel for what they are going to do at 11. Just went with the kid a couple mocks have us taking Victor Soderstrom

 

[sigma six]

I'd be more excited but my gut tells me we aren't picking at 11.

 

[Rebels57]

I'd be more excited but my gut tells me we aren't picking at 11.

We literally cannot afford to add any other roster players right now, so unless that pick is being traded for a great player on an ELC, it's not happening. Problem is, great players on ELCs don't get traded.

Summary: it's not getting traded.

He was nothing more than a spoiled whiney rich kid and his book is one of the most overrated pieces of literature in history.

Book?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Give me Krebs so I can become a Winnipeg Ice fan !!!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Dach probably wasn't making it to our pick anyway, but interesting.

 

[Adam Warlock]

I hope they go forward because theyre going to need to replace G, Voracek, and JVR before theyll need to replace our young D (hopefully).

I also hope Gritty makes the pick.

 

[Jtown]

I fully expect Dave Scott to announce the selection, working the phones and talking to other GM's.

 

[The Madrigal]

Book?

The catcher in the rye

 

[FLYguy3911]

No one. Trading the pick.

I win.

 

[achdumeingute]

I like the trade down at this point.
