Watching is up for debate but I've had the QFs and SFs on in the background while working.Have you been watching any of the tournament?
Have you liked anyone? It's been a while since I've seen most of these guys and they look even more mid than I remember.Watching is up for debate but I've had the QFs and SFs on in the background while working.![]()

Any room with Gary Bettman in it.Why a sterile room?

Gotcha. I was thinking like a surgery roomNo phones or ways to communicate with the outside world
Yeah. The '26 guys lol.
Seems that class has the defensemen at least.
Any concern with Frondells medicore u18s?Is mildly amusing that so many front offices put so much stock into this tournament for the draft...
when 10 of the consensus 13 top guys are not there.

Kind of what we've been hearing.
Scheafer, Misa, Frondell, Hagens, Martone, Desnoyers and O'Brien form a clear top 7.
Hagens fell from 2 to 5, again something we've been hearing that others have surpassed him!
Yea pretty easy choice for me too if he’s there at 4. If he’s not or we move to 5, hoping for Frondell. Otherwise it’s one of the top 2 picks. Should be a good to pretty good outcome.Assuming we stay at 4 - it’s Hagens for me. I think his floor is Jett’s ceiling. I think his ceiling is legit 1C. I think scouts thought he would have had a Celebrini impact his freshman year. The fact he didn’t gives us the only shot we have of getting him. If he’s there, please don’t f*** this up.
Any chance you think Luchanko could be tired as well coming to the AHL give his poor regular season numbers? Or is his production pretty in line with his career thus far? It seems like he is a 3C. That’s the least need on the team since Couts may be locked in there for awhile.He played very well in a good pro league for 45 games this season.
4 games vs a far lower level of competition would not play into my thinking.
Especially as he flew cross Atlantic the morning after winning the Allsvenskan (probably slept on the plane, well, had to given departure time and arrival) had practice a few hours after landed and then played hours after that.
I do think he came into the tournament a bit worn down too, he seemed to be slowing down in Allsvenskan play-offs, which is understandable given he missed 8 months of hockey including his entire summer last year.
He will never be a super dynamic guy. Just not his game either. But I do think there is a chance for him to be a passable 1C if he keeps developing.
I know we need a 1C but I would love to have Eklund on the Flyers.
