It'd be a nice pick. Not sure if I'd watch him Wednesday but could Saturday.

How are you able to watch it? Are there live streams?

Id love Adrian Kempe, but I think he provides a skill set that is already readily available on this team. He is a bulllish forward that drives the net, a classic power forward. Although I like his skill set, im not sure he would be the right fit and that there wont be better options at our pick. I see him going to Detroit (just a shot in the dark).

As for Barbashev, I like his over all ability. He has great vision, incredible playmaking ability, and can snipe with great accuracy, but his inability to sustain consistent effort is a minus. I think that if he shores that up he could end up being one of the better players coming out of the draft. Unfortunately thats easier said than done. Considering this is his second year in the Q im not too worried about the Russian Factor. Despite my praise for him I dont believe the Flyers will draft him. I see him going to the Rangers or Montreal (more shots in the dark).

I certainly have a list of players I'd like to see above others. Some they won't have a shot at unless it gets even worse than it is now with the team.

You can get streams for each league if you have the $$$ to pay.

I've watched the Flyers long enough to know this... if a player we have isn't in the NHL.. and his value is very high... and he has potential to be a solid player at some point...

He will be traded for an aging vet at the trade deadline.

It will happen. I know it. I feel it.

Laughton + Morin for Chara

Everyone cheers. Than Chara suffers a career ending injury right after signing an 8 year 9mil cap hit per contract.. at the age of 35 and 1 day... and we eat his salary with prongers for the next 3/4 of a decade.

Detroit just drafted Mantha. It would seem a bit redundant.

Damnit. Forgot about that pick. It just seemed like a match made in heaven when I was thinking about where he will go. They will probably go with Defense.

Remember the concerns about him but falling to 20th sure as hell motivated him.

He sure looks dominant. Even at the worlds on the mediocre team canada he still looked good.

In other sports, when guys drop in the draft, they usually don't amount to much. In the NHL guys who drop often end up being good players.

They did play well together but Drouin kind of came off as petulant to me. Hell of a player though. His stick handling and puck skills are pretty remarkable for his age.

Flyers prospect Leier plays for Portland with Pouliot so I track his games. Pouliot looks like a very good offensive defenseman. I haven't had the chance to see him that much. I know Portland is stacked too.
- PhillySportsGuy

yeah from what ive seen, offensively he looks like a wizard. needs work in his own end though. but him springing and offense and captaining a powerplay could be sweet.
