With draft day tomorrow, I’ve been reading up on the prospects. Presuming we stay at 12, there’s a couple guys I’d be happy with. I don’t want Eiserman or Catton though. If they were still available at 32, take a chance but there should be other better bets available at 12. There seems to be a lot of variability with some prospects from site to site.

[Docs]

I’d be happy with either of those guys at 12 and I don’t think there’s a chance either of those guys dropped to 32, both are rated in the upper half tier in this draft.

[Aquapong]

Both seem to be very one dimensional players.

[Austinfan]

Catton or Helenius would fill a hole. I'd be fine with either one. Don't want Eiserman, he'll score goals but I can't see him making Torts very happy with his one dimensional game.

[Aquapong]

I like Helenius among some other guys. Pierre Labraun from TSN stated we offered a pretty healthy package to Columbus to move up to 4, but they turned us down. Pick 12, next year’s first, and someone from the roster. There must be someone they really want.

[Docs]

Flyers announce that they are buying out cam Atkinson, i guess efforts to trade him fell short.

[Squire]

Yeah. They had one deal to San Jose and he rejected it.

[xogfog]

I'm hoping at the end of the night we have Trevor Zegras. I would trade Laughton and 32, I think that would get it done. I think he's the perfect young center for Michkov and he already has a couple friends on the Flyers team.

[Aquapong]

Silayev still sitting there. Chernyshov, Hage, Dickinson, Brandsegg-Nygard, or Helenius would be a good pick. Someone will be there. Catton just went to the Kraken.

[Docs]

As long as defenders don’t go 10 and 11 i think the flyers can get one of the top defenders here

Dang it, Calgary and New Jersey spoiled the night with good picks

[Docs]

What about Zeev Buium here?

[Aquapong]

Briere’s on the phone.

[Docs]

This is taking so long I’m expecting the jaguars to jump in and draft Byron leftwich

[Docs]

Flyers swap with Minnesota
Trade 12 for 13 and a 2025 3rd
I don’t like this, Minnesota took the best player available, zeev Buium, i think the flyers should have taken him.

[Aquapong]

We’ve got York and Drysdale who are in the same mold.

[Docs]

I would have taken the best player here and traded one of the d-men down the road, he’s in a different tier. Third round picks are not that valuable

[Docs]

Jett Luchanko

[Aquapong]

Interesting. I’ve seen some mocks with him going to us at 31. Hopefully not a reach.

[Docs]

Could have traded back again and still gotten him - looks like they had their heart set on a center
