Official 2025 NHL DRAFT Thread

[IronMarshal]

I think people here are underselling O’Brien. He is a talented and driven player. He scored 98 points in the O this year. That is not an untalented player. He also is primarily a playmaker which would fit in good with MM, TK, TF, and OT.

 

[BiggE]

So, who do we like in the 6-9 range because that’s where they’re gonna end up.

 

[BiggE]

I’d be happy with Eklund, they could absolutely use a potential 1LW.

Once the firing happen I pretty much figured they would wake up or at least want to prove a point. I see them finishing out above .500, they have Nashville tomorrow, and Montreal after a week off.

 

[FlyerNutter]

From a potential chance at Misa, or Schaefer.

To goofing around picking 6-9th.

f***ing dipshit franchise. Couldn’t just stfu, and let the free fall happen to fire Torts after the season.

Dont give a shit how good he is. Cant draft a J. O'Brien.

I think something might have happened between York and Torts were the latter had to be let go after the incident and comments he made. I wonder if we’ll ever find out

Hurting chances for a top pick for another Mr Vanilla in Cam York.

I need to go fishing soon…

It went like this:

Il Douche: Why did you let McCann take the puck off you?
YamCork: He's bigger, faster and stronger?
Il Douche: Be better.
YamCork: F*ck off, dickhead.
Il Douche; I have lost the will to live.

 

[Appleyard]

Basically... 3-4-0 they will almost certainly pick top 5.

4-3-0 maybe they pick 8th (albeit more likely 4-2-1)... that is how close that range is now.

 

[iceman42]

Back up to 5th with Buffalo's beat down of the Caps

 

[Appleyard]

Back up to 5th with Buffalo's beat down of the Caps

Yeh, and would be 4th tbh if everyone finished out season in similar vein.

As the .001 difference vs Seattle pt% wise cant round up to 82 games, so if both finished on 75 points like their current pace is? Flyers finish "lower" due to their awful RW.


But super close now. 8th is back in play because of Boston's 5 game losing streak...

but picking lower than 8th now aside from losing lottery is very unlikely unless win out.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Back up to 5th with Buffalo's beat down of the Caps

Sabres killing their chances at a top pick.

 

[The Last Red]

Don’t lose hope. Nashville has been better as of late and the Habs aren’t losing at the Bell Center in what will be a must win game for them. Top 5 pick still very possible.
.

 

[Appleyard]

Even if they go 4-3-0 for 77 points then is is still "possible" to pick top 5...

would just mean that 3/4 of the following would need to happen:

Kraken: 4-3-1
Sabres: 4-4-1
Bruins: 4-4-0
Penguins: 4-4-0

then Flyers would be in 5th even if went 4-3-0... due to their awful RW.

Hagens

Is that really going to happen?

Buium went at 12

These delusions are your fault for getting hopeful about a top 4-5 pick. Name me this year’s Luchankos and Yakemchuks in the 8-10 range.

A top 4-5 pick is still possible, Gusa.

 

[Appleyard]

A top 4-5 pick is still possible, Gusa.

8th is actually pretty unlikely barring someone behind moving up now after Pens win.

Pens can go 3-4-0 and Flyers would need 4-2-1 to finish with more points than them.

Tbh 4-2-1 is now likely minimum record to pick worse than 7th going into lottery

 

[Magua]

A top 4-5 pick is still possible, Gusa.

dont forget the lotto bump... for sure we are getting bumped back as far as possible

 

[Tarpongg]

Buium went at 12

Buium just scored, Flyers have too many Buium types

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I suppose a positive is that even if the Flyers are drafting in the 6-8 range, it would be hard to botch the pick and go completely off the board
