Oh god here we go with using mid-late picks as "Tough guy defensive specialists".
Oh cool, another glue guy big boy pants hustler. Gotta groom these kids to fill the timeless unwritten roles
Gone are the days of taking swings on speed and skill late in the draft huh

I think he is maybe more of a "swing" than might seem.
I guess he gets ~P/GP this season.
I would not have taken him here... but he was kind of buried this year.
Like I would not be shocked if a solid 3rd liner in 5 years. Even if I think some potential top six guys still left.
Realistically, Appleyard, there might be a few with top 6 potential, but also serious flaws that make it unlikely they ever reach that potential, or they'd be long gone.
I mean when you get past #100 or so, there are maybe less than a half dozen top six forwards/top 4 defensemen that come out of any draft - 1 or 2 per round from rounds 4-7.
I don’t mind the pick. Seen a couple videos of him during the season and all I can say is I’m neutral on it. Would’ve much rather traded up earlier and drafted Martin ChromiakI think he is maybe more of a "swing" than might seem.

Millman, a smooth skating puck mover, went in the 4th last year. Serdyuk and Brodzinski went in the 5th and 7thWhen's the last time the Flyers drafted for speed in later rounds?
Interesting take, let's see how he does in the top 6 this season if it happens/lastsExcellent pick, his stats look bad compared to his peers because he was on the 3rd line of one of the best CHL teams the last two years. When half the team was gone to their respective world jr camps in december he lit it up with the increase in ice time and PP time. He should have a very good year with Halifax considering he's finally getting the opportunities to play more minutes. Good value in the 5th round for sure.
