2026 NHL DRAFT Thread

It w

The only other Dman I've posted clips of that's a good skater is Yellowaga. He was never a 2nd/3rd type though, he's most likely going undrafted.

as yellowaga. Undrafted. Hmmm. He can really skate. Thought he would be a great project

 

[Sombastate]

The flyers are for sure taking the giant at 21

Size means you can lift the cup even higher when you don’t win it

 

[Magua]

I’ve been putting a lot of thought into a sort of top 50. I’ll post it later. Still thinking about a couple tiers.

 

[Magua]

Alright, so I only ranked guys I’ve seen enough to have a comfort level, although a handful I’m less comfortable with than I’d like. I made rough tiers (///). Each time I look at this I shuffle something. I’d be happy to explain whatever; I could do a write up on most of them; none of this is haphazard.

Based purely on having a fun name, I want either Ignatavicius or MacBeath, though I suppose I could be talked into Command.

someone good will fall to the flyers and we're not going to send that pick away to get nurse.

Sadly, the silver lining of the Flyers picking at 21 is that the risk of getting enraged when they skip over an obvious BPA is much, much lower.

10 years since Pronman blessed us with this

https://www.espn.com/nhl/insider/story/_/id/15511937/why-patrik-laine-top-prospect-2016-nhl-draft

There is a great debate between favoring Auston Matthews and favoring Patrik Laine as the top overall prospect in the 2016 draft class, and in crafting my top 100 rankings for the class, I landed on Laine.

I believe Morozov is the grip strength leader this year?

6'8? You're setting your sights too low.

Based purely on having a fun name, I want either Ignatavicius or MacBeath, though I suppose I could be talked into Command.

Especially if you take into account the proper Lithuanian spelling is Ignatavičius. I had completely missed a non-Latvian Baltic prospect is predicted to go so high. Happy for our Southern brothers.

Also, pls, anyone but VAN or NYR for Šmits.

Flahr would have just ripped the hardest erection if he actually could.

 

[BernieParent]

Of some interest, maybe:



I do like that he seems to have selected Ricky from Trailer Park Boys for the Flyers at 21.
