Well that is some balls right there, so real skill left on the board, hell, even better D-men.

 

[Chinatown88]

Blech

 

[Deadpool8812]

Yay or nay?

 

[CutOnDime97]

Yay or nay?

Big time nay at 22, with those guys left on the board. Big time

 

[pooch]

Not a choice I would have made, but I’m also not overly familiar with him.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Feels like the Ryan Ellis trade all over again. Happiness for twelve minutes before the Flyers Flyer.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Sens fans were hoping we could get a second round pick to nab him.

Take care of him Philly. We will wait for him to hit FA.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

I did virtually no research on this player but I saw this name pop up a lot around this spot.

 

[Sombastate]

Really bad pick at 22. Hopefully he’s good, but bad pick

 

[Appleyard]

 

[Sun God Nika]

Yay or nay?

Solid pick. RD are hard to come by so its good to keep em in your system.

His dad is a NHL'er so he got the right training growing up. He also has untapped offensive potential. I would say he could be the #2 D supporting a number 1 guy on a first pairing or be the #3 guy leading your second pairing.

[FatTugboatFlahr]

If you insist on drafting morons, could you at least trade down?

Thank God they got blessed with Michkov.

 

[flyershockey]

This feels like a prototypical bottom third first round Flyers' draft pick... a guy whose floor is higher than his ceiling.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Let it be known I picked him #22 in that draft poll that floated through.


I picked solely upon name. This method has not failed very often, somehow.

I believe we learned last year that everyone got to take turns making picks. I think we can assume Briere took the first pick. I wonder if they're still collaborating like that, and who took this one?

(Flahr. It is Flahr)

 

[Winston Wolf]

I have a bunch of Bonk Files Upper Deck cards somewhere and other Las Vegas Thunder paraphernalia stored somewhere. Radek wasn’t allowed to sign the Bonk Files cards back in the day.

 

[Adam Warlock]

This is what I feared. Briere is going to be stuck in a "one for me, one for them" place.

Provy deal - Briere
Hayes deal - Torts
Michkov - Briere
Bonk - Torts

 

[Magua]

I guess I'll actually have to watch him.

On paper, this screams fit pick and not BPA. Or if it's BPA, which just so happens to be a 6'2 RH defensive defenseman, then maybe it's not a shocker the same folks pump Risto's tires.

 

[Curufinwe]

I guarantee Torts has never seen him play

 

[tictactoe]

I mean seems like a steady move(maybe) but I think we could have done better and historically we did do a lot better with 22.

 

[Pantokrator]

I was hoping for Perrault or Gulyayev. Bonk seems like a safe pick though. I would have tried for a higher risk pick, but it seems OK.

 

[freakydallas13]

This is a bungle for me, dawg. Team couldn't f***ing help themselves.
