What are the Flyers chances realistically, of drafting a player ready to step right into the NHL with the 17th pick?

Usually when you go fishing and you don't use the right bait, and the fish don't bite. The guy doing the fishing is the one that failed!


Bring up any specific topic on the sport of Hockey, and I'd be glad to discuss it with you.

What is your view on the effectiveness of the reverse vh technique?

If possible, at least a pic from the same movie, and for (frank)s sake, get the quote right.

How hard is it, really? I mean, you're on the internet, right?

That said, I've screwed up a few in my time from not double-checking.

Absolutely none. Even if they trade up I'm not sure anyone other than Ekblad will play in the NHL next season in my opinion.

I'd find you guys. Even in crowd you two can't hide any easier than me. To be fair I'll text you and give you a head start.

I've watched my share of these players, it's fine you don't agree.........it's probably less than 20%

Does it? I'm asking what YOU think. And the technique goes beyond his employment of it.

I told you what I think. If you're not happy with that answer, too bad. I don't delve deep into the technical aspects of goaltender play, not my area of expertise. Quick is so explosive with his legs that he can play a number of ways, and get up off the post. Some goalies like to put the skate against the post, some like to place the pad inside the post. Whatever stops the puck is what I say.

For me, the people that will be available at 17 with NHL bodies lack the skill and the people with the skill lack NHL bodies. I would be surprised if many all through the draft make it to the NHL next year.
