Speculation: KOTR's Fan Base Mock (Your pick has been made)

[Haanz]

But in reality, if that's how the top 6 falls (i.e., Barzal gone), I would probably look to trade down a few spots and take Konecny.

This is exactly what I would do as well.

Zacha

Voracek mentors him and Zacha puts those tools in a toolbox

 

[Tripod]

Provorov

I hedge my bets that 2 out of Provorov, Morin and Sanheim will become 1st pairing...then the one who doesn't teams with Ghost for a great 2nd pairing allowing Hagg to "only" have to be a bottom pairing dman. Maybe Freidman is his pairing in a few years.

Then use every single one of the other 9 picks we have on forwards and draft talent and skill like a SOB.

Wouldn't mind that..
With defenseman normally taking longer to develop, & since defenseman are so valuable around the league (especially big, puck moving d-men) if we HAD to trade one for a forward it would be easier than vice versa.

For me it comes down to a plan.. if that's the route you take, you trade Streit & possibly even Del Zotto at deadline so we can stock up on young potential forwards.

If we are in a playoff spot that may be hard to do, but it would benefit our prospects & next year's draft. Shedding that cap space plus the others that come off the books, I think the Flyers would be serious contenders in 16/17

 

[FlyLife]

Werenski

Big time upside

 

[McNasty]

Provorov

 

[MadFerIt95*]

Mikko Rantannen

But Im fine with Provorov

 

[PALE PWNR]

Crouse

Seems like the consensus is Provorov though. I really think we need to go forward here but I'm ok with it.

 

[PK16]

Provorov

 

[Jtown]

damn , everyone has convinced me. provorov.

 

[daynus]

Pavel zacha.
If our scouts feel he has Corey perry upside, yikes.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Crouse

 

[Stizzle]

Seeing his playoff series vs Calgary and 2 playoff games vs Kelowna left such a bad taste in my mouth. I can't vote for Provorov. He looked awful.

I'm in for Rantanen or Werenski. Since there seems little hope Rantanen can win this vote and Werenski has at least a few backers, I'll take him.

I vote Werenski.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Provorov

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Crouse

Still going with the guy who has everything except the eye popping numbers. I'm okay with Provorov and many other choices here. I also think we need another top tier forward tho, but I'll be excited to see what Hextall chooses for the future

 

[FLYERSG]

Provorov

 

[SchennSational1022*]

People are going to be surprised when we pick Connor, he has the late-riser, off the board, Flyers pick all over him

 

[TheKingPin]

Provorov

a steady dman that can anchor things without making mistakes is always very useful. As other have said, if this was a normal draft he would be top 5 and is a top 2 dman either way. Still hoping another fwd falls though.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Zacha.

Game breaking forward please.

 

[NHLAlert]

Provorov or Werenski for me

The majority is for Provorov (myself included), but I don't think he's gonna be who the Flyers select. I think Connor will be the selection as well.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Provorov.

 

[4thline4life]

Provorov.

 

[Jray42]

Provorov.


A few weeks ago I wanted Werenski, then I read into it more and I wanted Provorov, and now I cant decide. I just have a gut feeling that Werenski is going to be phenomenal, even though I haven't watched too much of either.

I agree.

I went with Crouse but Provorov also seems like a great option. I have a feeling that the Flyers will go for Connor as well.
