(Part 3) 2014 Flyers' Draft Talk

[RJ8812*]

Just take the biggest goalie left from Sweden or Finland.

Florida just did that...Hugo Flagerblom 6'6"!

Just take the biggest goalie left from Sweden or Finland.

Ha it's worked before. Preds took Rinne late and they had never even seen him play.

 

[dingbathero]

Monster.

 

[Random Forest]

Will be interesting to see if Ivan Nikolishin and Vladimir Tkachev go undrafted a la Sergei Tolchinsky last year.

Those are some serious high reward players for the seventh round, imo.

EDIT: Add Sebastien Aho to that list, too. There is some potential yet to be had in this draft even if these players are unlikely to reach it...

Florida just did that...Hugo Flagerblom 6'6"!

Looking at his profile the kid hasn't played above the U18 level in the SHL, that's a real shot in the dark pick there.

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

Like the olofsson pick for buffalo

 

[Tankadelphia]

Jack Flinn.... 6'8 in the OHL as a goalie and still growing

 

[Akanon]

Jack Flinn.... 6'8 in the OHL as a goalie and still growing

That five-hole

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Cam Darcy is good pick despite being an overager.

 

[dingbathero]

That five-hole

Who in the NHL could skate thru it? Lol

 

[Akanon]

Who in the NHL could skate thru it? Lol

Gerbe, at least

 

[Appleyard]

Kulda to Coyotes.

 

[Tankadelphia]

Would love to take Edgars Kulda or Spencer Watson. Both project as 2nd round talents

EDIT : Bye bye Kulda

 

[Akanon]

^Not bad pick

 

[dingbathero]

BLAKE CLARKE.... DO it!

Take that chance.

 

[Coffe]

Axel Holmström, good pick for the wings - as usual.

 

[dingbathero]

Who are we going to take....

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

So one of Morin or Sanheim better turn out to be a #1 haha. I think Morin has a better shot at hitting his ceiling, but I think Sanheim has a better chace to become a #1... If that makes sense.

 

[Appleyard]

Jesper Pettersson.

Swedish D.

 

[Coffe]

Jesper Pettersson, Dman from Linköping.

 

[Akanon]

Jesper Pettersson, another D

Pettersson is a defensive defenseman. Although small in stature, he is very stocky and plays like a much bigger man. He likes the rough stuff and blocks shots. Might also have some offensive upside.
- Erik K. Piri, EP (2014)

 

[dingbathero]

never heard of him.... hm

 

[RJ8812*]

no goalies drafted at all? little surprised and disappointed

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

I like the Swedish factor. Always bet on the swedes.

 

[Appleyard]

He is ok... but IMO has pretty much 0 upside. #6 Dman.

Would have preferred Aho, Johansson or, if going for an overager, Bengtsson.

He might play AHL straight away.
