Saginaw does it again.
That kid is about 140 though and not on the Flyers' Vegas-themed draft board.
A lot of them have B grades on the Central Scouting list. I haven't paid attention to any of them outside Hutson and Eiserman yet so whoever catches your eye I guess.

Eiserman is lapping the US Team in production. I honestly thought Hagens would keep it closer.

There are a few good forwards there, but this is a defense heavy draft year.I wouldn’t have a problem with the Flyers drafting two defensemen in the first round.

Yah bpa.
7 months then we will get our pick numbers.
‘I am guessing 10 and 17.
Lindstrom, I streamed him, watch him lots.
‘If he were availabile at 10, take him.
other good WHL. Guys I like, Ryder Richie and Tanner Howe.
‘it could be 2 d men, or could be 2 forwards

I liked Catton when I looked into him over the summer. I f***ing LOVE Demidov, though. That's the dream. Demidov and Henry Mews.
MEOW!
EDIT: Also, why the f*** isn't Yakemchuk called Yaremchuk? Would be much better.

Celebrini, Eiserman and Demidov are still at the top, but the first round is looking deep – especially for defensemen.

By the literal definition of BPA with a hard slotted draft board, yeah maybe, but I find it hard to believe there wouldn’t be a similar rated forward on the board in the range they are slated to pick come June.
Using 3 of your 4 first round picks in two drafts on defensemen (only makes the Bonk pick look worse if your scenario plays out), considering what we know about their relative value, would just seem unwise to me. Would also be tough to fully maximize player’s potential with usage logistics at play.
I’ve always kinda believed it is relatively easier to find impact defensemen later in the draft than forwards (Hutson and Zellweger as recent examples), but maybe someone can disprove that. I just think they emerge later in the process and teams still have a size preference on the backend that can slide these guys down boards.
I feel you breh. I just don’t want them to reach on a forward because it’s a #need like the Bonk pick last year.By the literal definition of BPA with a hard slotted draft board, yeah maybe, but I find it hard to believe there wouldn’t be a similar rated forward on the board in the range they are slated to pick come June.

Knowing defensive impacts are so volatile at the NHL level that kind of makes it hard for me to look at defensemen that high unless he legit has a really high offensive upside, that’s more translatable like a Makar, Dahlin, Hughes’, etc. guys who have/had upside to be top 40-50 scorers in this league.
