ugly?

ugly?

If you saw some of the shots he takes you'd understand

Maybe in two months.

All the bullish-ness in this thread that there will be good players available for the Flyers at 12 just tells me that we are either a) getting pushed down in the lottery or b) blowing it on a try-hard big guy.

Huzzah.

Tankathon gave me the dream on the tenth try. The Flyers with the number two pick. Give me Berkeley Catton please. I know, Demidov, but I really like Catton. Catton is a very exciting prospect. The only downside with him is size. I believe he will be an upper half of the league number one center. He is exactly one of the two parts the Flyers desperately need. The other is a number one defenseman who can run a powerplay. Catton, yes please!

Eiserman passes Caufield for the all-time goal record with 127 at the US Program.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Canada would be getting ran over right now if it weren’t for George in net.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Is another Huston going to fall to almost the third round?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

This feels like the 2022 gold medal game for the US where they dominate but end up losing anyway because of goaltending.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Connelly takes a stupid five minute major & likely costs the US as Canada scores two goals to up 4-3.

Edit: make it 5-3, Kemf is terrible.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Connelly has to feel like the biggest POS right now.

Iginla is going top 10.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

What an implosion by USA in the third period. Shouldn’t have been a close game after two periods but massive difference in goaltending for the two teams today.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Regardless of the results of the game, the meteoric rise of of USA hockey is incredible. In like a decade they became a powerhouse churning out high quality NHL players

 

[FLYguy3911]

It was a relatively weak US crop, but still an epic collapse.

McKenna is the real deal though.

 

[Nabrules]

U18s over. Most of the scouting opportunities

Catton
Iginla
Silayev
Dickinson
Eiserman
Helenius

And the ever fast rising Sennecke. We’re in a great stop

I'm the biggest Demidov fan on here, but I love Catton too and would understand that pick. I still think they should go Demidov, though.

Didn’t he put up monster numbers to for a defenseman in this tournament? I think he is good as Lane maybe better. I would take him just to make Montreal mad!!

Yeah this is a better draft, also a Catton fan and would run to the podium to take him! even with Florida's pick is dead last in the first round. Someone will fall, or a damn good player will be there. Mews, Misa, hutson, stiga, gridin, maybe Carter George?

There's no denying that the Soviet-style of treating your national team like a regular club team (with extra benefits) works quite well.

 

[tictactoe]

I thought the expectation was that his KHL contract only lasts one more year, and that he'd come over after the 2024-2025 season. Or is this wishful thinking for whomever drafts him?

this is just my opinion.

 

[renberg]

What is the consensus on drafting Konsta Helenius if he is there at 12? Would Eiserman be preferable to him?

 

[hystyk1921]

Eiserman over helenius not that I don’t like helenius. If you were to say, who is closer to the nhl right now its eiserman. Helenius is a good pick at 12 too if eiserman wasn’t there.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

So what’s the feeling of Iginla? Would you take him at 12? Will he be there?
