Prospect Info: 2020 NHL Draft Thread Vol. 1

[Chinatown88]

No, I mean it's hard to find guys I'd really like us to take. This is based on almost nothing that matters, so I'll wait and see what people have to say about them, but not many leap off the page at me and they usually do.

I feels ya. With our inevitable late season playoff push I'm looking at guys slotted to go in the 20s. So Bourque is probably going to be the guy I want the Flyers to pick. But you could just hit up a Thai shaman and have him put some bad voodoo on the team so we get a top 5 pick.

John-Jason Peterka is the guy I've zeroed in on for the flyers and want

 

[FLYguy3911]

I know JJ had the nice WJC showing, but I think Reichel is better.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I know JJ had the nice WJC showing, but I think Reichel is better.

That's the guy I am most interested in.

That's fair. I like both alot.

- Poirier on the wing is a pretty outlandish take from Cosentino. Reminds of the numerous instances of “Try Ghost on the wing” by some mouth breather Flyers fans.

- Chromiak at 31 is cool. I’ve been reading lots of good things about him

 

[FLYguy3911]

If they don't pick a Finn this year give up. Looks like a deep crop this year.

 

[TB87]

What are people’s thoughts on Dylan Holloway? His counting stats aren’t pretty but his tools flash pretty consistently in my viewings.

 

[TB87]

@Magua I’m curious about your thoughts on Jack Quinn

Does the team even have a scout for Finland?

I’m so checked out, I haven’t purposefully watched a single minute of any draft eligible this current season. I’m on sabbatical until further notice.

[TB87]

Anyone familiar with Kasper Simontaival? I’ve heard good things but I haven’t seen him play myself.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Looks like the US Program made their changes for the end of the season. It looks like they’re going to switch out two forwards & a defensemen at least going by what they sent down.

For the U18 WJC’s 13F/7D/3G.

Looks like F Dylan Duke, F Chaz Lucius, F Justin Janicke, & D Sean Behrens got called up to the U18’s.

Wonder if they end up calling up D Luke Hughes eventually too? Scoring/higher end skill is probably their weakness with the 2002’s.

I would have no problem taking him at 15. Top goal scorer in ohl. You’ll hate the comparison but brad Marchand talent and skill. Not a pest or snarl that brad plays with. Don’t mind him in the 15-20 range could go higher.

@Magua I’m curious about your thoughts on Jack Quinn

I haven't seen enough of Quinn, but in general, I am skeptical of his type. More goals than assists. He plays on a team with the best player in the league and a likely NHLer next year, and he's one of the oldest players in the draft. He missed the cut by 4 days. His scoring rate in his 17 year old season doesn't scream mid-first round pick. Tbf that was his rookie season in the OHL, but his raw output was similar to Mason Millman's who is of similar age and was also a rookie in the league last year.

Anyone familiar with Kasper Simontaival? I’ve heard good things but I haven’t seen him play myself.

Before our second round pick changes hands in the next 5 days, this seems like a good time to mention that I love the possibilities of who could be on the board in the second round. It's early and guys can separate but its starting to look like picks 25-60ish could all be of similar value.

Finns are really just pretend Russians anyway

 

[FLYguy3911]

The 4th in the Grant deal is conditional. Anaheim gets the higher of our two picks.

7 picks in 7 rounds this year. 6 picks next year. Hopefully Hagg's PDO doesn't turn to complete shit and they can move him for a 2 before his extension.

Mavrik Bourque eh? I’ve heard good things.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Picks moved in player trades

In:
2019 6th round pick - Weal trade (Roddy Ross)
2020 4th round pick - Simmonds trade (likely going to Anaheim in Grant deal)

Out:
2019 2nd round pick - 1 year of Justin Braun
2020 3rd round pick - 1 year of Justin Braun
2020 4th round pick (the highest one) - 1/3 year of Derek Grant
2019 5th round pick - Negotiating rights for Kevin Hayes
2021 5th round pick - 1/3 year of Nate Thompson

that is bad asset managment in my eyes. sure its not like homer bad. but we should have take a lot of good players with this draft picks. first and foremost with the Braun picks.

i like him but not for that price. not before the trade an not after we will make the playoffs

Yeah the Braun picks are definitely the most questionable. I don't hate it but I don't like it. The rest I really have no issues with.
