Better prospect than Jay O’Brien ever was. I might gable on him in round two but not round 1

Berkeley Catton is the type of center they need. If they can finagle that, it would be a great draft. If they fall into the 12-14 spot post lottery, and Catton, Dickinson, Buium, Levshunov, Eiserman, and Yakemchuk are gone, I would probably go with Hagg. Connelly might work to

As long as someone doesn’t jump the Flyers, they are sitting at a pretty sweet spot. Just take the player still available from these 12 IMO

Yep. My only fear is someone unexpected will drop but Flyer minds will take the high character guy who plays heavy- Greentree. “We took a skill guy last year, so…”
I don't trust this staff to make the smart choice

They just have to trust in fate. When they had the choice between Patrick, Makar, EP, and Heiskanen we all know how that turned out. This will probably be a “let go, and let god” moment and good things often happen when you just go with it. Obviously some players drafted after the Flyers pick will be great and some drafted before will disappoint, but this draft seems like a pretty clear drop off after those twelve players. There are some other guys I’d be “okay” with, but it seems too obvious to not just take the guy remaining. Briere did the obvious thing last draft with Michkov so my fingers are crossed
So with the 12th...a lottery win would have us pick 2nd?
Would that mean Demidov or one of the dmen?

If you get 2nd, you 100% take Demidov.

Honestly my sincerest hope is we find a way to get Catton. I don't see that happening, but it's my wish.

Michkov was a layup that fell to him somehow. He had to actually work for the latter first round pick and there are a lot of doubts over that puck considering who was available

Fixed. They took the original down for some reason.

For a second he piqued my interest and then I remembered Buffalo only finished a single spot lower in the standings.

For comparison, one year of Risto cost about the pick Buffalo is holding this year…plus!

I don’t really understand all the comments about the flyers scouting staff always going for bigger player.. 2018 they took Farabee, one on the slightest players ranked in the top 15 that year. 2019 they took a sub 6 foot dman with York, 5’8 winger in Brink. Guys like Andrae and Barkey since. Their not adverse to smaller players like people are making it out to be

Unless there is a tough decision to be made i think it’s a no brainer. His dropping down the draft charts could be scouts overthinking things. He was a consensus top 2 a year ago and has been prolific at putting the puck in the net. Flyers would potentially have 2/3 of a potent offensive line with him and Michkov or good depth if they were split up
