29th Pick: Who Should the Flyers Draft?

[sa cyred]

So we have a thread for the 7th overall pick & an all purpose draft thread but we barely talk about the other 1st round pick that we have. In a pretty deep draft, we can grab a solid player with this pick and there are some really good players that are available.

Who do you guys like? Lets post some videos, and talk about some of these guys.

Some guys that could or should be around at 29/30.

Oliver Kylington
Noah Juulsen
Jake Debrusk
Denis Guryanov
Ilya Samsonov
Gabriel Carlsson
Jonas Siegenthaler
Brandon Carlo
Jeremy Bracco
Daniel Sprong
Filip Ahl
Brock Boeser (UND commit)


Do we go with the homerun pick? Should we take a safer player? Powerforward? Skilled winger? Big shutdown defenseman? Small puckmover? Should we take a chance on a European or stick with the NA players?

If mods think this should be in the all purpose thread thats alright. Just thought that, that thread seems to be taken over by the top pick so much that the other first talk gets pushed aside alot.

I think it really depends on which position is drafted at #7. If they take Provorov I would not take a second defenseman. I'd be looking at DeBrusk or one of the American forwards of Greenway, Bittner, Yan, or White. If they go forward at #7, I'd still look at these gusy but also throw Juulsen, Carlo, and Carrlsson in there.

 

[Chinatown88]

I hope Eriksson Ek is still there but I doubt it.

From that list I'd would go with Debrusk.

 

[sobrien]

I'd go with either Kylington, Bracco, or Carlo. TBH I haven't looked into what most of those guys abilities/ceilings are.

Another shameless plug for drafting Christian Jaros in one of the middle rounds 29/30 is too early for him though

 

[dingbathero]

IF we go FWD with #7, I'd like to think we'd go D at 29/30.

So my choices for that would be Juulsen, Carlo, Kylington or Carlsson, no particular order.

IF we go D with the #7, I'd like to see a FWD taken at 29/30.

Choices being; Debrusk, Guryanov, Sprong or Boeser, no particular order.



I think we go GK in the 3rd rd.

 

[pinedak]

I thnk there top 3 choices at 7th are:

1.Barzel
2.Provorov
3.Crouse

If they garb a forward at 7. They will take a D at 29/30 and vice-versa.

I think there top 3 in that slot are:

1.Debrusk
2.A sleeper/ Relative unknown but fast-riser
3.Carlo

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I'd say hope for one of Sprong, Guryanov, Bracco, Kylington, Boeser and Chabot.

In other words, go for the highly skilled, productive guy who falls in this deep draft and whom you'd likely never get a chance to draft that late in the first round in almost any other year.

I want to avoid the big guy who "projects" and the guy who suddenly put up big numbers as an overager.

 

[sa cyred]

Im starting to become interested in Brock Boeser.



Seems smart and has a shot.

That makes sense, i'm just not sure there's a "faller" in that spot. I think your likely to score a player like that in the mid-late teens. That said, every draft has surprises and Giroux went 22nd, so anything can happen.

 

[FLYguy3911]

There's probably 5 defensemen after the top 3 that I would take ahead of Carlo if given the opportunity.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

There's probably 5 defensemen after the top 3 that I would take ahead of Carlo if given the opportunity.

I like what he's got in terms of sign and defensive ability. He's not a top pair guy by any means, but especially if they are getting rid of Schenn, he provides size, RHD, and physicality that will be missed if Schenn goes. A pairing of Morin and Carlo could be very difficult for opponents down the line. Would have physicality and size from both, maybe a little offense from Morin and solid defense from Carlo.

 

[Flyotes]

I'd go Boeser. So much offensive upside.

He's not bad I just like other players more.

I'd go Boeser. So much offensive upside.

Don't think he's going to make it.

 

[Curufinwe]

Boeser or DeBrusk if we take a dman at 7.

Juulsen if we take a forward at 7.

Really hoping Boeser is one of the players that fall.

 

[Freddy The Fog]

I'm surprised no one is thinking goalie. Are there no decent prospects? Cause this team needs to be looking for someone to step up in two years (if no injuries).

 

[Flyotes]

Get goalies later.

My hope is one of those skill guys falls. It's quite possible with the depth in this first round.

 

[pucksandpups]

I'd like Debrusk, Carlo, Juulsen, or Boeser. Doesn't matter what position they take at 7, take the BPA.

 

[YEM]

chances of them packaging this pick with a Grossmann/LSchenn for a LW?

 

[BillyShoe1721]

If we take a forward at 7, BPA

If we take a defenseman at 7, BFA

 

[Pantokrator]

I'm surprised no one is thinking goalie. Are there no decent prospects? Cause this team needs to be looking for someone to step up in two years (if no injuries).

I'd certainly be looking at a goalie with our second round pick. You are right, we need to be trying to find a goalie of the future.

 

[Pantokrator]

I'd be interested in looking into trading the pick. If we could trade it for 2 seconds, or even maybe use it to try to jettison Lecavalier or another cap disaster I'd be interested.

If we keep it, we should draft a forward because we do well with forwards in the late first round.

 

[SanBlom]

Glad to see Boeser getting some respect! He's been on my radar all year and if they traded back for a really nice package and took him with the 1st pick I wouldn't be upset (I know I'm in the minority here). Other than him, I'm loving Chabot if he is still around, or anyone from the following list:
Konecny
Dergachyov
Roy
Speers
White
Sprong

I think Kylington could slip a bit and may be around for the next pick. if not, that;s fine too. There is a great variety of players out there this year.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

I would probably go
Guryanov
Boeser
White
Juulsen
in no particular order.

I'd stay away from Kylington. Someone did a study that showed that people who fall in drafts like him end up not doing much.
