A Flyers mock draft five months out, because I have absolutely nothing better to do. Using current draft slots.
1(6) - LW Victor Eklund - love everything about how he plays. He plays both sides but I'm slotting him opposite of Michkov.
1(21) - C Braden Cootes - lots of speed and skill in the middle. I've had him pegged for this spot for months.
1(30) - C Eric Nilson - what stands out most about him is how quickly and smoothly he transitions both ways. I think he's very underrated.
2(38) - LW Eddie Genborg - not sure his offense projects but has put up good numbers. What I really like is how physical he is on the forecheck.
2(42) - D Maxim Agafonov - this may sound crazy, but after Schaefer and Smith, I think I might like this kid next. Good size, moves well, physical, aggressively jumps up, very good luck handler and passer. And, he's a right shot D. I don't understand how Limatov is the higher rated Russian D prospect.
2(47) - C Ethan Czata - coming on strong in his draft year. Nothing flashy, just solid all around.
2(48) - C Hayden Paupenakis - probably a reach here, but he's been putting up better numbers at Kelowna since the trade from Spokane a few weeks ago. Big kid that moves well, good at net front, and seems like he's pretty good if he needs to drop the gloves. Need one old school Flyer somewhere in this list.
Not intentional, but ended up taking lots of C's and Swedes.

Half joking but all actually would be great later round picks!
