There you go. It works on mobile too for those wondering.

They had Zadorov before Nurse

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

One thing is obvious: they ****ing love Morin, wow.

 

[Stizzle]

Wow, they ended up moving Morin to 6th.

 

[JVR21]

They had the dmen in this order:
Morin
Mueller
Zadorov
Nurse
Risto
Morrisey

They had Morin 6th overall...ahead of ****ing Monahan.

lol

obviously they blur out the list

 

[cheesesteak]

Well it looks like they got the Dman they wanted! I enjoyed it.

 

[Random Forest]

Lol, idiots forgot to blur it at 4:27.

Very interesting for sure, though! They were very high on Mueller it appears. Had him right under Morin. I like that kid, too. Wouldn't have been disappointed with him. Or Morrissey. Only guy I didn't like was Pulock and it looks like they agree.

EDIT: Wow, Risto at #12...

EDIT #2: I should've finished watching...

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

I thought it was well done. Sucks that they blurred out the board, but at least you could get a feel for what they were aiming for at #9.

Thought it was neat that they compared Monahan to Couturier, because I made that comparison in the past.

 

[CS]

They had the dmen in this order:
Morin
Mueller
Zadorov
Nurse
Risto
Morrisey

They had Morin 6th overall...ahead of ****ing Monahan.

Well, at least Holmgren knows what's up with forwards. The "you guys are fading fast" comment seems to be directly linked to Monahan dropping down the list.

My list of those...

1. Ristolainen
2. Nurse
3. Morrissey
4. Morin
5. Mueller
6. Zadorov

Basically, my board is the Flyers' defensive draft board flipped on its head.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think I saw HockeyFights.com pulled up on Mark Greig's laptop.

 

[Haanz]

I had Nichushkin as Do Not Draft and it looks like the Flyers might have as well.

 

[King Forsberg]

Yeah after watching that I'm surprised they didn't trade up for Morin.

 

[Patrick Division]

That was so sick!!!

 

[CS]

I will also note that the consensus seems to be that Morin has the most upside out of those defensemen. I'm not necessarily going to disagree with that. He's younger than them, and as was mentioned, he understands more of what he is than some of the other defensemen mentioned, including Nurse.

It seems that they didn't not like Ristolainen as much as Mueller, which is sort of bizarre to me.

Ah well, this is all pretty interesting stuff, and some are going to be outraged at where they would've selected Morin compared to the board. I'm not sure what to think, but I do know this...I think Hagg cements the draft for us, but Morin is still the better better prospect regardless of where those two respectively finish within our organization.

I also consider Nurse, Ristolainen, and Morrissey better prospects than Morin, but I only have those there.

And Hagg was a huge win in my book because I'm not so sure I have him after guys like Zadorov, Mueller (who the Flyers loved), and others.

 

[Random Forest]

Also interesting that they had Lindholm ahead of Barkov.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Montreal kept trying trade up for Morin during the draft. I guess the Flyers liked some others incase he wasn't at #11.

 

[Random Forest]

I think Monahan dropping on our board had more to do with having a carbon copy of him already in Couturier. I know the Flyers don't draft for need necessarily, but I think they also realize they have no reason to pick up something they already have when there was some great talent available on D.

 

[The Couturier Effect]

I enjoyed that. Really good to see Pronger in the room.

I'm really looking forward to their reasoning for picking Goulbourne.

 

[Flyotes]

Ack. I kept changing my post on page 2 without realizing you guys are posting behind me.

 

[CS]

Also interesting that they had Lindholm ahead of Barkov.

Interesting but not surprising in my opinion. I like Lindholm personally better than Barkov. I like Monahan over both.

The Monahan slight, the love the Mueller, and the Ristolainen as an after thought were the three most surprising things involved in that video.

 

[CS]

I enjoyed that. Really good to see Pronger in the room.

I'm really looking forward to their reasoning for picking Goulbourne.

I'm curious about Pronger's silence though. He was fairly quiet, almost as if he's more of an intern learning about the front office as opposed to a scout putting in his own opinion as to the players we're looking to draft.

The consensus with Monahan he'll be playing in the NHL next year with Couturier & Laughton in the fold the need wasn't that great. My guess if he fell to #11 the Flyers might've tried to move out & pickup some assets.
