how many are from Minnesota?

I don't think any but it is my understanding that a condition of signing will be spending at least one year in Minnesota. Not having to do anything with playing hockey, they will just be forced to live there and shovel snow, ice fish, etc.

Plus, when was the last great Frank in the league? Frank Brimsek? Been a minute. This is important.

I really need someone to explain to me how I as a Czech wishing Jiříček do as best as possible, but maybe falling out of five to top ten instead translates as me being biased against him

Maybe you dont like Skoda Plzen idk? As a czech i really didn't like Zadina pick in 2018, i though he was overrated and he is not going to use his shot when competition gets faster. I am the least biased person when it comes to prospects. I also think that Wright and Nemec are overrated af and Slafkovsky, Cooley, Jiricek and Kemmel are going to be superior players.

Frank Mahovlich, unless you rate Frantisek Kaberle pretty highly.

 

[TheKingPin]

Are jiricek and the LW that is fast rising getting props bc they are big? I feel like that never works out.

Yeah it's definitely me hating on Plzeň, jesus, f***ing internet and it's ability to assume what people think.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Yup, same reason Forsberg fell to 6OA in 91.

Forsberg wasn't as developed in his draft year as was Jagr. He also had a military obligation. Forsberg was considered a reach. One publication had him ranked 25th. He even stated of himself that he thought he'd be picked in the second round. I recall one tense moment when Forsberg stated that he wasn't good enough to play for the Swedish Olympic team and that sent Russ Farwell into crisis mode with the media. One headline used the word "stunning" after the pick and the Flyers head scout admitted he had never seen Forsberg play. It was heavily weighted towards Inge Hammarstrom and Farwell for the reach.

Yeah, I had forgotten most of this, lol. Have to think though, had Forsberg been Canadian and showed the same skill set playing major Junior, he would have been in everyone’s top 10 at the very least.

I forget the player's name but he never made it to an NHL game and was picked by Montreal later in that opening round. He was one of the players attached to the Flyers as a possible pick. But the Flyers needed goal scorers and that was not Forsberg's strength on draft day.

I think it was Bilodeau, a Dman I believe.

I was randomly looking at Russ Farwell's wiki page yesterday and his 4 years as Flyers GM were the only years in the NHL in like 40 years in hockey. Kinda unusual. Was never in another NHL front office

Flyers need to be bad again next year and have some luck..they need to Suck hard for Bedard

The craziest thing, even if we don't get Bedard, that draft is f***ing loaded.

That means the Flyers will be mediocre enough to land a spot in draft hell...

Good thing we loaded up on 3rd rd picks.

that Fletch will trade away for old washed vets.

 

[deadhead]

that Fletch will trade away for old washed vets.

Given the only time he traded mid-round picks was his first year when his HC wanted veterans in the bottom six for a PO run (4th and 5th for Thompson and Grant), it's pretty unlikely - everyone added this past offseason were one year FAs.

I would like to see him use some picks after the first round to package for RFAs that teams can't afford to resign, like the Avs picking up Toews. These tend to be the best bargains, young enough to have upside, but with a track record that tells you if they can handle NHL play.
