Yuuuuup. I did not make that up. Some Buffalo fan thinks ROR has all the value in the world. I wouldn't even want to trade TK, Myers, or Sanheim straight up for him let alone adding in both 1sts.

Just to repeat for those late to the party:

I finally did my whole top 62 rankings and "guide," if anyone was interested -- and why wouldn't you gents be? You spend all day talking about it!....or Westworld....or 70s music.....or a bunch of other random poop. Ok, you spend at least a small infinitesimal part of the day talking about it!

For real, I spent all season watching hundreds of hours of prospects doing it as a project, so I'd really appreciate it. I think you'd actually find it a good read and informative or at least a unique take. It's definitely my unique take, no one else's, all combined into something easy to read. Feel free to share it with any interested people here or elsewhere! You may have to create a quick account though. It's worth it; you have my word. Even for just browsing certain prospects and not going through it all.

But seriously, this is great. I linked it in “thanks carol” land here at HB and HFVan.

You’ve 100% sold me on Berggren and confirmed my love for Farabee + Kravstov and my non-hype for Wilde + Veleno + Merkley

If the Flyers are actually in on ROR I only hope it's for 19th overall and not a penny more.

Thanks, amigo.

I know. I asked a couple people I trust if I was out to lunch, and they told me to just go with it lol. I feel so good about his talent level and ability being up there with anyone. I said all this in my profile though.

All jokes/bromance aside, that poop is incredible. So much went into that and not just sitting down and writing it. I mean the hundreds of hours of watching games/shifts of all these players while (presumably) juggling a life. I'd love to do something like that.

Seriously something to be proud of man. Can't wait to berate you in a few years once it's all proven wrong.

Thanks, gonna watch if I have the time. The other guy I have 10+ spots different than you is Noel. His 18% shooting percentage + timid play scares me. I know he shows flashes that gets scouts’ pants pretty tight but I’m just not seeing it

I said it: I’m not sure I’d want him gun to my head. I’d rather just trade down because I have others on that tier. In fact he is actually surrounded by a lot of players I have ranked way higher than most if you notice. It's my way of saying if he hits I won’t be surprised, but I'd prefer others. He’s unbelievably inconsistent. But he’s got talent with his physical tools and his flashes are jaw dropping. Some team wants to go all in on risk/reward, go for it. I don't know if I'd feel comfortable. He's so damn raw and unsure of his game still.

Nucker, do me a favor and ask a question or something on the Prospect Thread article version, so it gets bumped.

Someone posted it on Flyers reddit for me, so I'm going to try to get that going too.

I agree with you. If they are going to make a tools-based pick, I would rather it be Miller.

Thank you for the post; Nuck Nuck too. I'll answer it later, not that you care.

Someone uploaded to r/Flyers for me last night, so I'm trying to take that avenue too. I was going to upload it to the r/hockey, but if you already did it, I won't and ty agagin. I don't think it got much attention on r/Flyers though, since I don't go there, but it certainly would be nice!
