Center is obviously a position of dire need but so is defense. What are thoughts on Schaefer, Hensler, Trethewey?

So Luchanko is a 2nd line C, 60-70 pts max.
Let’s do bad enough to get a 1C with 100 pt ceiling. This draft has several fast Centers that would help our rebuild more than another 2C with 60-70 pt upside. Let’s get a pick in the top 6.

@Appleyard do you think Frondell and Ryabkin are top 10 guys anymore?

It is really too early to say. Frondell has been injured and Ryabkin has seemingly had issues with his coach which tbh has impacted both.

They have the skill-sets to be top 10 picks... and the games so far are a super small sample considering their body of work, but have to back it up.

Colorado is top 10, Edmonton top 12.
Doubtful either will fall that far, Colorado has goaltender problems and Edmonton is off to a slow start.
More likely would be late teens to 25, neither team looks like a good bet to go deep into the playoffs right now.

A nice caveat though with the Oilers pick is that if the Oilers trade their 2026 1st the pick we have loses its protection (as initially if it is a top 12 pick then Flyers get 2026 pick).

So if somehow the Oilers are on the cusp and want to add some bigger name rentals to ensure get in? Then Flyers get this years whatever.
