Im here for the Demi dropping to 7
That would be a f***ing mistake.
Go get Parekh and Catton and drop the mic.If you’re taking a defensemen early to me their skill level & offensive ability have to be higher end. It just seems in that range the guys who are generally described as well rounded or whatever usually end up more times than not being underwhelming compared to guys who nobody really questions their skill/offensive abilities.
To me that seems like Buium & Parekh.
True but I’d also be ok with the smart players out there. Dickinson and Helenius do seem like more the type to push a team with a 1C and 1D to to the next level. But I love those players that have a high impact when on the ice. I also think Dmen can be more offensive in the right system and with the right players. Makar and those elite types for sure, but do you really want a Green that isn’t able to get it done in the end?If you’re taking a defensemen early to me their skill level & offensive ability have to be higher end.

I think until it happens it’s a crapshoot. I can’t remember many drafts like this where a player could go 3rd or 12th and it wouldn’t be a complete shockMy best guess on picks 1-12
1. SJS Celebrini
2. CHI Demidov
3. ANA Levshunov
4. CLB Buium
5. MON Lindstrom
6. UTAH Iginla
7. OTT Parekh
8. SEA Dickinson
9. CAL Catton
10. NJ Sennecke
11. BUF Eiserman
So, that leaves the Flyers at 12, who do they take?
If the board breaks this way, my personal preference would be Helenius but my guess is they take Silayev or Yakemchuk. Not that I don’t like the big the Russian or Yak, but both are far from a sure thing. Now, there is a good chance they’ll be a trade or 3 and this won’t be even close to how the actual draft goes, but if all picks stay as is, it’s my best guess.
How do you guys think it will go?

Would be thrilled if Catton was still on the board at 12, just hope they’d be smart enough to take him.Need Iginla to fall for Calgary to take. Utah already rumored to get a top dman so they seem in that mode. Catton could be redundant for them. In that scenario I think we get Catton.
Would be thrilled if Catton was still on the board at 12, just hope they’d be smart enough to take him.

I saw a report awhile ago that said he was high on Montreal's list and they were contemplating taking him at 5.I have a feeling Sennecke will go to Montreal.

Didnt see it posted, but for Button's mock draft he has us taking Helenius a 12 and Letourneau at 32.
Yes the 6'7 center Letourneau.
The reason the Flyers-Nolan Patrick discourse makes me groan is because, with the benefit of hindsight, people say, "Why didn't they select this obviously more talented player? Why did they choose the safe player? They should have known better than consensus. Shame, shame!"
But when confronted with the next crop, the safe players -- with a sprinkle of wish fulfillment pixie dust -- are again lauded. Hands clasped together praying to take them. We do this every year. And in 5 years we'll get, "Why didn't they select this obviously more talented player?" I could easily see 5/12 of the first players taken falling into this category. Given the scuttlebutt, possibly 2nd and 3rd overall. Certainly worried about the top consensus forward and defender at #12.
