Another tough one. I went with Lindblom here. I just think is upside is higher than anybody else left.

 

[BillDineen]

Not really seeing how anyone can vote Lindblom over Freidman.

Not really seeing how anyone can vote Lindblom over Freidman.

His name looks like "Lidstrom" so he must be better than a guy who shares the same last name as my wife's gastroenterologist.

Petterson, because he made AHL in record breaking time haha. Must be something about him huh

 

[Stizzle]

Agreed, Freidman is the pick here.

 

[daynus]

friedman- lindblom

are the realistic options here.

voted friedman.

if lindblom can improve his skating and friedman makes progress like ghost did, then these 2 should easily make the top 10 next year.

Went with Cousins. His first year pro was an up and down one but considering the state of the team, his age/experience level, and how he was used (on a line with a scorer like Straka in some games but played with Mathers plenty too).

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Now I am really questioning shiny new object vs. actual talent. Cousins I think is the pick here.

 

[sa cyred]

Went Lindbolm. Watching Cousins struggle for most of last season gave me a bad taste in my mouth. Only his rookie season so he's got time but I still question if his offense translates at all.

I am going with upside here. Friedman wouldnt be the wrong pick either.

 

[Newest sens fan]

obviously had to go with andrew johnston

 

[Banger]

Lukko is the clear choice here.

 

[The Couturier Effect]

Went with Friedman.

 

[Jumping]

Some day you will be shipping Champaign out of plastic Stanley Cups because of the Fazleever (or whatever we decide to nickname him).

 

[FlyTimmo]

I think it has to be cousins followed by Friedman and Lindblom.

 

[dats81]

It's pretty much a toss up between Friedman and Lindblom for me. Lindblom has more upside but Friedman is more likely to reach his ceiling.

Cousins had a pretty rough first season as a pro last year which makes it hard to believe he can be more than a 4th liner in the NHL at this point. He is a Flyers brand of character guy though and may still get his chance to break the lineup.

 

[Random Forest]

Friedman. I think he's a legit prospect here. I've spoken to a few of my friends who played against him last year, and they all spoke very highly of him from what they remembered.

Umberger+Friedman for Hartnell doesn't seem as bad to me with this kid, imo.


Then Lindblom followed by Cousins. I'm blown away that we have legit prospects into the teens. This is bizarre as a Flyers fan.

The pick used on Friedman came from Boston in the Mez trade. We got a 4th round pick in 2015 back with Umberger in the Hartnell trade.

Oh, damn. Well, I guess the Hartnell trade sucks, then.

 

[Patrick Division]

It's close. Lindblom or Cousins. I'll go Cousins for now.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Well... Mez for Friedman sounds pretty good tho.

 

[Random Forest]

Well... Mez for Friedman sounds pretty good tho.

But then again, Mez for an old pair of sweaty socks from an old gym locker also sounds pretty good to me.

 

[Patrick Division]

Well... Mez for Friedman sounds pretty good tho.

That sounds great!!!

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Any way you slice it, having prospects with upside like Friedman, Lindblom, and Cousins outside your top 10 is not a bad spot to be in
