Prospect Info: Round 7, Pick 196: Wyatt Kalynuk, D, Bloomington (USHL) -> Wisconsin

[Striiker]

Yeah, he'd never be able to displace a great defensemen like Hagg.

Why are we even bothering to draft anyone new when we have an ace like him? Not to mention old man Braun. We're set for the next decade.

 

[TheKingPin]

Sucks. I hope he busts.

He's a lesser prospect than York or Zamula, and might have fallen behind Millwood in a year or so.
What the Flyers really need is another RHD prospect, not sure Wylie is the answer.

I'm not sure "Millwood" is the answer either, unless the question is "What is a made-up name for a non-existent prospect?"

I think he's a teammate of Konecky and Vorachek.

 

[TB87]

Millwood’s my guy

 

[deadhead]

Willman, Millwood, until he gets to the AHL, he's just another name.

 

[captainpaxil]

I don't know that he's a straight to the nhl guy. I fear he was already outshined here behind sexier not necessarily better prospects.
He's in a good spot in Chicago where if he does have what it takes it's not overcrowded and there's enough other talent that he won't be overwhelmed having to do it all.
He came about as far as you can want for a 7th Rd pick. He put himself into a position to succeed. Just wish we'd gotten something in return. I hate giving up assets

 

[orangey]

Ugh well that's an OK treachery terminus I guess. Hope d hole busts.

 

[CSKA1974]

Losing an asset for nothing. My favorite flyers pastime. Yippee

How much value does the 7th round pick, who has never played professionally hold?
My guess would be- "future considerations" at best.

 

[pit]

Just boo him at the game.

Next time I'm in Lehigh Valley and the Icehogs are in town I will.

~2nd round pick imo.

He’s increased his value as a prospect since being drafted.

 

[deadhead]

I'm not sure he's a lock on Chicago:
5 guys signed through 2022: Keith, Seabrook, Murphy, de Hann, Maatta,
Boqvist #8 - 2018
Beaudin #27 - 2018
Regula #67 - 2018
Krys - #45 - 2016
Gilbert - #91 - 2015, 21 games with Chi last season
Carlsson - #110 - 2016, cameo with Chi last season
Mitchell - #57 - 2017

 

[CSKA1974]

~2nd round pick imo.

Is sarcasm emoji missing?

I disagree. Cooper Marody was a 6th round pick, and we received a 3rd for him. Kalynuk is a better prospect than Marody. We could have at least gotten a 3rd.

Of course it was a possibility. I believe, the probability of that happening was close to nill, but I will give you a benefit of the doubt.
How do you know they did not try to get something?
If you were a GM would you trade for his rights, or would you just wait for his rights to expire?

 

[orangey]

OK so let's not draft any more 20 y/o guys destined for college. That has to be the dumbest rule and that's saying something.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Seemed like he wanted to go there all along.

Perhaps it’s sour grapes, but I can do without another Andy Delmore.

 

[TCTC]

Essentially we only lost a 7th round pick. It would suck if we had invested a 2nd or 3rd round pick in him.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Is sarcasm emoji missing?

Nope.

Chicago likely thinks they got an NHL defenseman on an ELC with PP upside. That is well worth a 2nd round pick. I thought he could have played for the Flyers next season. Again, well worth a 2nd round pick.

Not that my opinion really means anything but I had him rated as the 5th best prospect in the system just last week, behind Zamula. He’s not on Zamula’s level but Zamula is one of the best prospects in hockey and worth a first round pick so...

 

[Curufinwe]

I disagree. Cooper Marody was a 6th round pick, and we received a 3rd for him. Kalynuk is a better prospect than Marody. We could have at least gotten a 3rd.

Marody was traded when he still had 17 months until he became a free agent.

 

[rinaldo]

Yeah, he'd never be able to displace a great defensemen like Hagg.

Why are we even bothering to draft anyone new when we have an ace like him? Not to mention old man Braun. We're set for the next decade.

hopefully they extend ghost at some point with him being a #1 dman

 

[CSKA1974]

Nope.

Only if there was a competition to get him. If there were no other bidders (which we will never know), why would anyone have traded for his rights?

 

[FlyguyOX]

I disagree. Cooper Marody was a 6th round pick, and we received a 3rd for him. Kalynuk is a better prospect than Marody. We could have at least gotten a 3rd.

Exactly. A team would have given a 2nd or 3rd for a young D-man on an ELC that could step into their starting lineup on Day 1
