Michkov or bust!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

@GKJ are you going to be around to do the usual honors tonight?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

For the love of god, don't f*** this up.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

My prediction.............PAIN.

 

[Redpath]

All the Michkov rumors have led me to believe that anything less than drafting him will be a disappointment.

Leonard would be great. Benson would be great. But Michkov is different. Trading some picks to secure him will be a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.

@GKJ are you going to be around to do the usual honors tonight?

Probably.

 

[DancingPanther]

Oh wow this is very exciting I can't wait for them to draft another projectable middle 6 above average sized center with a strong 200 ft game and minimal star potential (or winger they hope to convert to a center)

 

[WIP CALLER]

Michkov, Benson, or trade down at 7. Anything else will be met with a giant meh.

Day 2 is really middle of the afternoon on a work day? Le sigh, and they wonder why they get hardly any views for their drafts

Flyers Draft Board leaked.

1. Bedard
2. Fantilli
3. Carlsson
4. Michkov (hes somewhere in the top 4 at least)
5. Smith
6. Leonard
7. Dvorsky
8. Benson

Probably. I know these are linked to articles but Shill Meltzer likes Dvorsky.

The second day of the NHL draft is not going to get high TV ratings no matter when it's held.

 

[scumpup]

From what Im seeing, the Flyers are NOT taking Benson. Good job Yzerman. A lot of drafts have WSH taking ASP or Reinbacher so Benson is most likely going to Detroit. Good for him.

Chances this site is alive after 7 pm?

Maybe a team who would want Laughton/Sanheim?

 

[Striiker]

If we take a defensemen or another Tippett/Gauthier-type big boy, I’m jumping.

Hopefully Bettman goes out there and starts the draft off with fireworks by stripping the Blackhawks of their pick.

That would break the site but be a worthwhile one for once instead of the Leafs trading for a #6 d-man like usual.

 

[freakydallas13]

Ugh, please trade down instead of taking Leonard.

 

[Curufinwe]

Ray Ferarro had the same idea as me after watching the NBA draft. Stop having all those people from each team wandering up on stage to make the pick. It just wastes everybody's time.

Gulyayev I could stomach even at 7 but we do not live in that universe. Picking high on a D man with no top pairing upside is laughable in a draft where theres 20 top 6+ forwards.
