If we can get 5 or 6, I hope we get Marner still. Kid is skilled out the ass. He'll bulk up with time.
Another team could also take Crouse that high. And I doubt we end up better than 6th. That's where we'd pick if the season finished now, unless a team ranked above us won the lottery and pushed us down to 7th.
But I'm used to the player I want getting picked before the Flyers get a chance to take him after Ristolainen and Milano.
The Wild are in free fall... Hopefully they get a goalie and pull up.
Firing the coach won't fix their last in the league SV%.

Hell I could definitely see the Flyers being one of those teams that really like Crouse enough to use a top 5 pick on him.
Agreed. They'll be tempted by his size and his untapped ability. The projected upside might be too tempting for them. I'm wondering though if Hextall will go for the safer approach in the sense that they've already taken two rather big projects (Morin, Sanheim) and that a third might be too much, especially if they're choosing in the top third of the draft.
Ryan Pilon - D
Unfortunate last name for a guy who may go in the first round.

I don't know who runs this site, but they were pretty accurate last year.

And they have us taking Crouse at 6th as of Jan. 12th.

just looking for opinions. Any regrets with Morin pick in 2013? I know we needed d but with a guy like Domi on the board as well as Morrissey? Would anyone have drafted differently if they had the choice?
