Flyers "Flight Plan": Behind the Scenes Draft Video

[Roo Mad Bro]

Flyers 2013 draft board

The Flyers just announced that they're producing a behind-the-scenes series for this season (like the Oil Change, Sabres series, etc.). First episode is this Tuesday, and it's titled "The War Room" (that is relevant to a lot of peoples interests in this section).

Anyway, in the trailer/teaser they released today, they post a shot of their draft board. Clarity isn't that great, but some on the Flyers board have made some guesses.

Here are some lists made up so far

MacKinon #1 (Certain)
Monahan #4 (possibly Nikushkin)
Ristolainen #6
Morin/Nurse #7 and 8
Morrisey #11 (possibly Wennberg)
Nikushkin #12
Horvat #14 (Certain)
Lazar #15 (Certain)
Domi #19
Shinkaruk #22 (Certain)
Hagg #25 (pretty certain)
Dickinson #29 (Certain)

These are the only ones I would put any money on. I have no clue with the others...

6 Ristolainen
7 Nurse
8 Morin
11 Morrissey
12 Nichushkin
25 Hagg

are all right from what I see.

You can't tell from this pic, but the board on the ground is goalies. They had: Fucale, Comrie, then Jarry.

Any other insight? Thought the prospects board might like this.

I want to know who 2,3 and 5 are, mostly 5.

 

[Haatley]

I thought 5 was barkov at first glance...

 

[Jamie Benn]

1. Mackinnon
2. Jones
3. Drouin
4. Nichuskhin
5. Barkov
6. Ristolainen?
7. Mantha?

 

[Random Forest]

1. Mackinnon
2. Jones
3. Drouin
4. Nichuskhin
5. Barkov
6. Ristolainen?
7. Mantha?

I think they would have taken Mantha if he was their BPA. Flyers don't generally mess around with drafting for need, though it may appear that way with their first two picks.

I think 7 is Morin, but it could be Nurse. Both would make sense.

 

[Ashasx]

#16 looks like Mantha?

 

[Pip]

Cool stuff, just goes to show that team lists often differ from accepted consensus lists. Thanks for those who went through to try to find the order.

Wish more teams did this

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

From what I can make out.
1. MacKinnon
2. Jones
3. Drouin
4. Nichushkin
5. Barkov
6. Monahan
7. Nurse
8. Morin
9. Mueller
10. Lindholm
12. Ristolainen
13. Wennberg
14. Horvat
15. Lazar
16. Mantha
19. Domi
21. Rychel
24. Morrissey
25. Hagg
50. Lehkonen
51. Bjorkstrand
52. Bowey
90. Murphy

 

[thefeebster]

Here are my guesses:

31. Zykov
33. Compher
50. Lekhonen
51. Bjorkstrand
57. Lodge

76. Elie (Remi)
85. Tambellini (Adam)

97. Lindberg (Tobias)
102. Fasching (Hudson)
104. Andrighetto (Sven)
105. Salvaggio (Jason)
120. Brown (Josh)

131. Chase (Greg)
133. Crus-Rydberg (Viktor)
141. Tolchinksy (Sergei)
143. Etchegary (Kurt)
150. Clifton (Connor)

161. Lomberg (Ryan)
162. Rauhauser (Alec)
164. Cave (Colby)
165. Hart (Jayden)

I'll add more if I can decipher it.

 

[VerySuperFamous]

Well I like how they rank Mueller, Flyers are generally a good drafting team too.

 

[RomersWorld*]

Interesting they had Shinkaruk at #22 when even though he went #24 overall, he was thought of a steal at that point. Obviously more than one team didn't have him as high as thought.

Interesting Bowey is at 52...again thought as a steal.

 

[Stizzle]

Awesome work, guys! Thanks for the guesses! I love stuff like this.

 

[BananaSquad]

Looks like they weren't really high on Zadorov.

 

[Ouroboros]

Top name on the right hand side of the lowest sheet looks like Hogberg?

 

[Novacane]

#6 looks like Monahan to me.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

#11 definitely is Morrissey...the name starts with an M and ends with a y.

#29 looks like Burakovsky to me...you can see a B and a fairly long name. Could be Dickinson though, the B and D is pretty close...

Also interesting that #9 is crossed out, which tells me this might not be the final list.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Holy smokes Mueller looks high. Maybe the Sharks weren't so wrong to move up the 2 spots just to get him?

1. MacKinnon
2. Jones
4. Nichushkin
6. Ristolainen
7. Nurse
8. Morin
9. Mueller
11. Morrisey
14. Horvat
15. Lazar

is what I can make out

 

[Ashasx]

#6 is most definitely Monahan.

 

[Axey]

Burakovsky is #36 I think.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Interesting that they had Morin, Mueller and Morissey above Ristolainen and Zadorov, considering most of the prospect publications had the latter two higher.

They must have been happy when Hagg fell to them at #41.

I bet they would have taken Nichushkin at #11 as well. There was talk of them really liking him.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Burakovsky is #36 I think.

Good eye, definitely fits. Looks like a B at the start, there's a y at the end, long name, etc.

It looks like Ristolainen is at #6 doesn't it? and Zadorov seemed to be way down the list.

 

[Random Forest]

That's what I see. Looks to me that Nichushkin is 4, Barkov 5, Risto 6, Morin 7, and Nurse at 8. Doesn't appear they were high on Zadorov.

There was a thread last week with the Flyers pre-draft board (which was shown in the preview for the series).

That was here: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1479587

But tonight they posted the first episode of the series, titled "The War Room". It shows the Chris Pryor (Director of Scouting) and the scouts talking about the players who were targets at #11 (where they were picking).

Some really interesting stuff in it. It's obvious they were/are extremely high on Samuel Morin. They had him #6 on their board.

Enjoy!

[TheHudlinator]

I'm really surprised how high they had Morin. But when you hear them talk about upside it does make sense. Thanks for posting.
