[FLYguy3911]

Friedman- skilled RH shot defenseman that can skate.

 

[Curufinwe]

Should be a close one between Hagg and Friedman.

Hopefully they will be playing together in April for the Phantoms once Friedman's third NCCA season is over.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Voted Friedman. Since it will probably be Hagg vs Friedman, I see it as some size, strength, and draft position vs literally everything else.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Voted Leier. I think he's underrated. Was very good for the Phantoms this past year.

Friedman and Vorobyov are next for me.

 

[Hockeypete49]

Went with Hagg. He just has so much God given talent that I have to pull for him.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Friedman for the third consecutive poll, but looks like it's going to take one more round.

 

[deadhead]

I got to go with Friedman over Hagg, Hagg hasn't answered the questions about focus and consistency, while he's physical more talented than Friedman, Friedman is progressing much faster.

While I like Leier, he's sort of a tweener, a bit small for the 4th line and does he have the offensive skills for the 3rd line?

 

[Rebels57]

Hagg. Haven't seen enough of Friedman yet. Saw Hagg play live and a few times on TV. If he finds consistency and an edge, he could be a solid #4 one day somewhere.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Went with Hagg. He just has so much God given talent that I have to pull for him.

I actually think Friedman has as much natural ability as Hagg -- and I think Hagg has a lot of natural talent.

Hagg has the added gift of good size and strength, but Friedman compensates by being much more tenacious.

Do not sleep on Friedman. This kid is much better than I think a lot of people realize.

 

[Fragmuffin]

its been a toss up between Hagg and Vorobyov for me since the 8th place

 

[kelmitchell]

I went Friedman here, it looks like hagg is gonna take this one though

 

[Stizzle]

I went with Vorobyov. At this point, it feels tough to vote against someone who is the apparent odds on favorite to be 1st line center for the Russian WJC team.

Friedman also is an excellent candidate. RHD with skill will always be at a premium.

 

[sa cyred]

Hagg here. Only 21 with 2 yrs in AHL. Also was hurt but when healthy turned it up.

 

[dats81]

We are now entering an area where a realistic career outlook is leaning towards bottom-pairing D or bottom-6 forward.

Hägg, Friedmann, Fazleev/Leier the next 3 for me. If just one of the aforementioned becomes a regular in the Flyers' lineup, I'd call it a success.

 

[Appleyard]

The fact that Hagg, Friedman & Vorobyov are all still here to pick at #11 emphasises just how good our pool is... that depth is awesome.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I went with Friedman. I got Vorobyov next & then it drops off into another tier for me with Leier, Bardreau, & Hagg rounding out the next tier in that order.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Voted Vorobyov.

Honestly, Hagg probably wouldn't even make my top 20. Mostly because I don't really have faith in him reaching his NHL potential.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Leier, Hagg, Friedman for me

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Hagg again

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I went with Vorobyov. At this point, it feels tough to vote against someone who is the apparent odds on favorite to be 1st line center for the Russian WJC team.

Friedman also is an excellent candidate. RHD with skill will always be at a premium.

Same for me exactly.

 

[Hockeypete49]

I actually think Friedman has as much natural ability as Hagg -- and I think Hagg has a lot of natural talent.

Hagg has the added gift of good size and strength, but Friedman compensates by being much more tenacious.

Do notsleep on Friedman . This kid is much better than I think a lot of people realize.

I am not. At this point who can be wrong? It is all good.

 

[David St Hubbins]

Was actually debating Fazleev, who I think could be a long tenure player here. Never great, but good enough to play up and down the lineup, chip in goals when given the opportunity. Kinda Trent Klatt-ish.

But in the end, Hagg. THen I'll have the same debate between RF & Freidman.

 

[Tripod]

Friedman was named to the All Rookie Team in 2015, then named to the WCHA season ending All Star Team this year. That's pretty good progress since being drafted.

That's why I picked him over Hagg who has not had a good season since being drafted. He has had ok ones, but not one where you would say he was good.

Hagg needs to have a good season at some point to overtake Friedman IMO....which he can do. I do hope that Friedman joins LV this Spring so there is no thoughts of him staying in college another year then leaving as a UFA. But ultimately, Friedman's NHL future could be with another team anyways.

 

[Curufinwe]

I do expect Friedman to join the Phantoms in late March/April. By then I think Morin will be on the Flyers, with Schultz and/or Streit shipped out.
