Would be an intriguing pick. Mentioned him briefly in today's blog.

Not a fan in the 2nd. Probably bottom 6 player. I don't buy the "low usage" argument a ton....he's also not going to be a big scorer.


Rather shoot for higher ceiling.

BUF is sending Mark Pysyk and picks to FLA for Dmitri Kulikov.

- AllInForFlyers


Mark Pysyk is an advanced stats gem. Florida targeted him for sure with their new front office. Good trade, I think.

Abramov and Dahlen I hope get snagged at 36 or 48, but definitely I'm looking DeBrincat, Laberge, Katchouk, Asplund at 36.

Got two picks in the 30's and a third for him, along with Pysyk

Leafs selected a 20 year old. Interesting. I would't have taken him there that's for sure. Maybe later.

I honestly haven't seen Pysyk play enough games to form an opinion, so i take your word on that

I always thought Kulikov should have been better than he was. Talented

I feel like if he is there the Flyers could love Katchouk. Gritty, energetic, 3-zone 100% effort guy, but skilled and deceptive speed.

Good pick up by Buffalo. I was an Asplund fan.

Wow. I was thinking for the third, or even late second. Interesting about Peeke. He was on my favorites list, just not that high.

Hextall keeps stacking the deck for the future... Shame we gotta endure the basement until the next decade.

Man I had missed your awesome outlook on the Flyers no matter how unfounded it is considering they were in the basement this season.

Kyrou was definitely on my list. More for 48. Hope the Flyers select someone oozing skill....they need that after selecting Rubs. Won't mind Katchouk though.

He's a curious player. Inconsistent, had to be shifted to wing, but definitely has a lot of skill. Some underrated goal scoring abilities too. He's got some dangles and good speed too. Surprisingly chippy.

He's a bit more boom/bust imo. So, I like it.

WOW. They must be very very down on him.....DeAngelo was selected shortly after Sanheim. Local Jersey kid....high offensive talent, but not much else.

That's like if we turned around 3 years later to trade Sanheim for an early 2nd. And they selected a d man too.
