Prospect Info: 2021 NHL Draft Thread Vol. 1

This is potentially a year where a high end talent slips some due to the covid year.

Will definitely be a weird one.

Goes the other way too. Players that shouldnt be drafted high will be. Im guessing we are more likely to fall victim to that.

Yep.It will be a crapshoot this year

Anyone get in any viewings of Scott Morrow this season? I’ve heard great things. The quality of competition he’s facing is bad (USHS) but I hear the tools he possesses are tremendous.

Haven’t seen him play, but I’ve read some glowing reviews. I don’t think he’s a fit for AV though. One thing said about Morrow is “He’s very aggressive defensively around the blue line. It would be a mistake to change his style of play, rather just pair him with someone who falls back to the net as he takes chances”.

That sounds like AVs doghouse - Ghost and Myers fill that role as well. Good young RHD shot with size, but I’ve seen his comparable listed as Tyson Barrie across multiple scouting sites.

Don’t think that’s what Fletcher is looking for given what we have.

AV will be gone by the time the 2021 Draft picks are in the NHL.

Time to start zoning in on this years top 15 guys

 

[Beef Invictus]

We might lose out hard enough to pick top 5, maybe even top 3, so that's how I know this will be a shit draft for us. What bust shall we select?

Yep. No hope can even be found in the Draft. That well is dry.

I thought our days of evaluating the top 10 in the draft were over. Never stop letting me down Flyers.

At some point, the luck has to change. Maybe this will be the year is does.

Even if we draft a great player it wont matter. Farabee hasnt moved the needle despite being near PPG.

They need someone better than Farabee at center or defense. In other word another Giroux or something they have never drafted, a true star #1 defenseman.

In a year where teams will be essential throwing darts, more so than usual, this could be draft they do it. Of course, Fletcher will move the 1st round pick in a trade but at least there is hope now.

Its not even a good draft. No hope my friend.

The Flyers right now are picking 14th based on point percentage and Arizona losing its first round pick. I don’t think it’s out of the question with the way they are playing they could be picking in the top 10. They should get a very good player.

Just because they're headed towards a top 10 pick it doesn't mean they'll:

A) Draft a very good player

-and-

B) That player will move the needle

Sanheim, Provorov, Konecny, Patrick, Farabee

None of these players have moved the needle apparently.

Anyone have any thoughts on any of the forwards slated to go in the 10-20 range (Guenther, Lucius, Sillinger, Raty, Olausson)?

Funny you should ask as Guenther moved up to Pronman’s number 1. I know it is Pronman, but Guenther looks really good, total package good, but a RWer. Lucius would be an excellent get, a goal scoring center, lots of skill, smarts and good wheels. Sillinger is highly skilled, a good shot goal scorer, but skating may be an issue at the NHL level. Olausson is a good skater with size and has played well against men according to reports. I haven’t seen tape on him yet. A couple of DMen are interesting, Clarke and Cuelemans. The way the. Flyers are playing, Power, Hughes and Edvinsson, may be in play, but Brandt and Cuelemans are RHDs. Berniers, Johnson, Eklund and Raty are worth watching too. We should be able to get one of the, names listed here. It’s not a great draft, but those guys can all play.

Well excuuuuusse me! I haven’t kept up with Slovakian pro hockey this season.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Canada announced their u18 roster. No guys from the Q but WHL and OHL playoffs won't get in the way this year.

Bedard and Wright headline as underagers.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Not enjoying following the Flyers so going to start looking into this draft more.

Can anyone recommend some good resources?

I found out about that Scouching guy here and he seems pretty good. Any one similar to him people like?

I liked Draft Dynasty on YouTube as well but he was hired by the Canadiens so imagine he's done uploading.

I wouldn’t get too excited with there being a very good chance Chuckles is going to move a 1st round pick this offseason.

 

[Nabrules]

@Appleyard any names you’re interested in for us around pick 15?
