Eh, I don't like that at all.

I think people are expecting the Flyers to move up simply because this draft is in Philly and really, no other reason. I doubt anyone really has a source that has indicated that the Flyers are moving up in the draft.

Hell, absolutely no one had the Hartnell trade ahead of time. Why should we think anyone knows if they are moving up?

The only media type I have given any sort of credence to before the draft is Craig Button because he called the Morin pick last year.

I only give Bob McKenzie credit because its fairly obvious one of the ten scouts he interviews is a Flyers scout.

Any of you guys think the Flyers might go for Roland McKeown at 17? Assuming Fleury is already taken.

Plus isn't Hextall stressing character? Simmonds isn't a perfect player, but his heart is tremendous

I do!

For these reasons:
1. The Flyers organization loves pedigree and this guy has a ton of it.
2. He is a mobile, powerplay quarterbacking defenseman who you don't have to hide from the other teams top lines (which Timonen is the only thing close on the Flyers roster).
3. He is in a good development situation in Kingston with a young team that will improve with him and is likely to be picked for Team Canada in two years.

I am a big evander Kane fan. However I wouldn't trade b schenn + for him. The only trade I'd go for would be Laughton + first round and I doubt that would be enough

And just to add I think E Kane is miserable in Winnipeg he may have a different attitude on different club/city.

I am more worried it will be Kane and Buff for both Schenns, the 17th, Read and maybe Cousins/Taylor Lier.

I just feel some massive overpayment coming

18, but he fits the cutoff for the under 20 tournament in two years because his birthday is after it ends.

No thank you. 17 BSchenn and Luke Schenn for Kane and their first. That's 3 first round picks, two in the top 5, for Kane and their top ten.

No, I said a powerplay quarterback(guy who can bring offense) who we don't need to hide from the other teams top lines.
