Prospect Info: 2020 NHL Draft Thread Vol. 1

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Should be an interesting year with no combine. No idea of who stayed in shape, who was hurt, who gave a bad interview, etc.....

As for who the Flyers draft, personally, I'd love to see Mavrik Bourque be the selection, but I certainly have no problems with Tyson Foerster, Brendan Brisson or Marat Khusnutdinov.

And maybe it's just me, but had anyone else noticed the high number of late previous year players available in this draft? Lots of October and November 2001 players that are draft eligible.

I personally wouldn't touch any of those three dmen at 23.

Not that my opinion means anything but I don't even have O'Rourke or Barron on my personal board. O'Rourke looks like a solid junior defenseman, but I have no idea what he is at the next level. He was the "#1" on that team but he takes a backseat to two undrafted defensemen on his own team in the skill department. That is kind of hard to shake for me. Granted those two are draftable talents, but still...

Barron is older. Has talent but he was both hurt and bad this year. Tough combo for a kid that will be almost 19 on draft day. Wouldn't touch him. Especially being short on picks this year.

Anyone have a rundown on Ronan Seeley?

Obviously not as a first round target, but beyond.

Young. Lean frame. Athletic. Quick first step. Good short area skater. Always keeps his feet moving. His open ice stride could use a little ironing out. Really good rush defender. I don't see a ton of offensive upside though. His puck poise isn't great in the offensive zone and I don't see a ton of creativity either. He's a pretty safe pick though in the 4th round or so. Easy to see him being a modern day 3rd pair "defensive defenseman".

Thank you as always for your insights, always appreciate hearing from those who are actually familiar with these guys.

Gunler or Mysak would be my bet.

I think one has a decent chance of falling.

Alex, any thoughts on Lapierre? Assuming he is healthy... Seems he may slide due to that.

Good player. A top 20 talent on paper... I would take Gunler for sure over him and Mysak probably too.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I really don’t know much about the kids listed. But the name Mavrik Bourque stood out for some reason

 

[Appleyard]

In case anyone wants a decent amount of pre-draft reading.

I have a few more reports I am going to release over the next month... albeit not a tonne tbh.

Players I’m familiar with (& who I like) that “may” be available in the 20-30 range:

*In no particular order of preference*
- Thomas Bordeleau (Center)
- Hendrix Lapierre (Center) ***If his health checks out***
- Jacob Perreault (Wing/Center)
- Brendan Brisson (Center)


I’m going to get more viewings in of others who may be around around in that range. Ditto players throughout the draft really.

Now you're back on the Hendrix bandwagon?! Smh Ted.

I can't get a good feel on Bordeleau.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Juuso Mäenpää or Luke Evangelista Please.

I just like the names.

 

[Chinatown88]

This is now a Mavrik Bourque thread.

 

[FlyguyOX]

I'm sure this was posted previously, but man, if we got Jarvis, AV would ruin him. You see the passing to a dangerous area in the slot? Yeah, AV doesn't do that.

I will bet my right testicle he’s not available at #23

Damnit. I’m fixing the fine print on my post. Thanks for looking out!

Finn, automatic do not draft for the Flyers.

Not my videos but these are damn good

REALLY want us to nab Reichel. Probably too much, because I am going to be disappointed when we don't.

No.

No.

plenty of talent where the flyers pick. I have my favorites and who I would like to have. Bourque has potential to be a top player, just inconsistent at times. If he doesn’t hit his peak a 3rd liner at worst. aim for Players with higher ceilings. I do like his skill and speed, just more effort in his game. He struggles the team struggles that sort of thing.

**PHI traded pick 23 to ANA for picks 27, 66, & 159**

**PHI traded pick 27 to DAL for picks 29, 152, 161, & 183**

**PHI traded pick 29 to OTT for picks 33, 51, & 154**




I’d prefer that they stock up on a bunch of picks in this draft. Adding more darts for the dartboard is the smart play

All those picks and you couldn't manage a single Egor or Emil, smh.

Egor Sokolov would be on my draft board if he had any kind of skating speed. He just...doesn’t

Lol just kidding. Last year we were trying to hoard Egors in the mock draft. This year it's Emils (and I think @landsbergfan has them all)

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I keep meaning to trade down in the draft simulator but Jarvis keeps falling to 23 each time and I can't pass up.

@landsbergfan has finally been revealed to be the monster that we always knew he was!
