Looking for some more info on this kid. Will have to see if I can catch a Swift Current game, since they have a couple kids I am interested in (Ward, Pickering, Filmon)

Swift Current is a really fun team to watch this year with all three of those guys. Josh Davies is another noticeable draft eligible player there that could be a (very) late round pick if a team likes his rugged playstyle and strong skating.

In my viewings of Filmon he seems to have a lot of untapped potential. Big, skinny kid with good hands and skates pretty well north/south. I've also been impressed with his effort level. He's done nothing but continue to get better as the season has gone on. I think there is definite room for improvement in his decision making and I don't think he's got high level creativity but he's certainly a guy I would start to look at in the late 2nd/early 3rd round due to his tools and development trajectory. I definitely see a world where he can be a complimentary top 6 forward in the NHL.

I’m a huge Josh Davies fan. Him and Liam Arnsby out in North Bay. Hoping my team takes a late round chance on each of them. Charlie Leddy at the NTDP is another limited offense, intangibles and grit guy that I like
in this draft, also.

He has 42 x 1 goal games in his WHL career, 2 x 2 goal games and now 1 x 6 goal game.

Looking like a very astute selection for the sixth round.

6'3 late bloomer sniper. Wait till he gains 30 pounds.

Not enough talk about this kid. Two goals last night, including the OT winner.

2021-22 - 67 games, 23 goals, 22 assists
2022-23 - 28 games, 23 goals, 14 assists

Wondering if anyone has gotten some good views of Filmon. I am more interested in his skating stride. At 6'3 160 he has next to no muscle on his frame, he could be a rare case of a player who can add 30 pounds and still skate well if his stride is sound.

Bad skater. Choppy and unorthodox is what i‘ve noted.

It‘s rare to see a kid that tall but that slender - because of it you could see more develooment in his game if he gets stronger and fills out more. Reminds me a bit of Mark Stone at the same age but Stone was much, much further ahead in developing his body and strength.

Well then...that's depressing.

Could some of his skating stride issues come from growing 7 inches in 2 years? I would think a 5’7” guy with poor skating would have had trouble even playing in top leagues.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Another 2 goals tonight and now stands at 28 goals in 35 games, an absolute absurd pace for an 18 year old let alone one at 6'3 160.

Filmon really deserves a lot of hype. I looked at the goal leaders of the entire CHL where he is 9th place and the players above him other then Bedard and Barlow are all older then him AND play in the Quebec league which generally is easier to score in.

The fact that he's a string bean makes me think that once he puts on some weight and muscle he will be doing even better next season. It's a bit early but there is a chance that Filmon could be the Devils best 6th round pick. (overtaking bratt)

 

[Sticktape]

Up to 43 goals on the season. If he puts on weight he could be a very scary shooter.

When a 6th rounder makes the CHL most goals this season list you know you have something special. Also when he's an old man he can show the list to his kids and be like

"Yes my children, I was on the same list as Bedard".

Does Gary Roberts still train hockey players? Pay him everything!
