I haven't really paid much attention to this draft so I have no idea on who I would specifically target, but on principle I think I'd pick another forward and probably just focus more heavily on defense in the mid rounds.

 

[Flyotes]

Take Casey Mittelstadt and run.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Take Casey Mittelstadt and run.

Agreed.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Too acquire the #3 pick we probably would have needed to give up at least one of Giroux/Voracek/Simmonds.

We would then need to draft forward to make up for that missing offense.

I prefer Glass over Mittelstadt and Vilardi.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Take Casey Mittelstadt and run.

I'm no expert or anything, but from what I have been reading, Glass seems to be a longer-term project with potentially slightly more upside than Casey. Since we got the 2OA, who will be NHL ready, I think I'd go Glass. But it would be one of those two. And really, I'd be looking to move the pick to someone who craves Heiskanen in return for a nice big haul.

 

[Curufinwe]

If we had won the 3rd pick I would have traded back to a team that wanted Heiskanen.

 

[Tripod]

If we had won the 3rd pick I would have traded back to a team that wanted Heiskanen.

Yeah I would be contacting Vegas, Buffalo, and AZ to see if they want to leapfrog Colorado to grab him.

Then go to the Avs and play them against each other. See what shakes out.

I've seen quite a bit of Cody Glass, kid scores like crazy. Really hit his stride this year. I was surprised to see that he's listed as 6' 2, thought he was a bit shorter than that.

He'll be quite a player at the next level for sure.

He's like a 170 some lbs. that's what probably deceives the eye. He's really skinny right now.

 

[Magua]

I remember someone on this site saying he might still be growing. I don't know if it's true, but his dad and brother especially both look taller than him. With his really skinny build and just young appearance in general, it wouldn't surprise me. That would be interesting indeed if he grew more at 6'2" already. Not that he needs it, he just ideally needs 25 lbs.

Yeah exactly. He's 18 so like many he'll get north of 200 with age.

The second AND third OP would guarantee us 2 top-6 centers for the next 10-15 years too come.

Unfortunately Simmonds or Provorov (no way) would be gone. Can't see anyone else worth the pick.

Giroux and Voracek, given their contract status and mediocre season with their abilities, won't fetch the 3rd OP this year.

Ghost would get it done, I'd bet, especially considering Dallas' situation - but I wouldn't make that trade.

Are you saying it would take Simmonds and Provorov to acquire the 3rd overall pick?

That's pure lunacy.

It would take 3OA+ for Dallas to make a fair offer for Provorov.

 

[David St Hubbins]

I would strongly consider Ghost for #3 OA, if we really believe that there is a a #1/2 center there that will be ready in 3 years. It would set this year back a bit, but considering our d pipeline, it could be the kind of move that gives us an extensive window for success.

Consider this starting in 2019:

Giroux-2OA-Voracek
Lindblom-3OA-Konecny
Rubutsov-Coutourier-Schenn
TBD-Vorobiev-TBD

Provorov-Gudas
Morin-Sanheim
Hagg-Myers
Freidman, MacD

where TBD can include Laberge, Allison, MV, etc.

It is not worth moving to 3. I might think about the 20 area but that is it. With all the picks the Flyers have and the way this draft is set up I make our scouts earn their salaries and unearth some talent later. After all they got a gift at 2 so if they stay the course they have plenty of time till 44 to work on their board.

Yeah I would rather keep the young and productive NHL player it would take to acquire that 3rd overall pick.

Moving up from the 2nd into the 20's is a lot more reasonable though.

 

[hatcher]

If they would take Simmonds you do it. He probably won't be back as this team will be getting younger and getting another top forward would replace Simmonds afew years down the road. Ghost 2 for that matter with all of our d prospects that will be be defensively and will still move the puck great.

??? I never said that ...

I wrote Simmonds or Provorov with the addition that Provy is unavailable.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Try to trade down.

My mistake!

 

[captainpaxil]

I trade down and take Rasmussen++

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

This place would explode if that happened.
