Odd thing for him to post then, no? I saw it. He tweeted a couple things.

any chance koekoek is available at 20?
- aightwebang17


I think so. Teams are afraid of the injury risk plus he's still pretty raw on both sides of the puck but he has huge upside -- more than someone like Finn, I would think.

I guess he's getting a jump start on planting the old foot in the mouth I have no defense for that, don't think that's something he should have tweeted.

not that the forwards are a sure thing or are without concerns (galchenyuk injury, grigorenko intangibles/khl, etc.), but i would so much rather have a guy with elite forward skill than pick a dman who is ready now, but his ceiling is on the second pair.

If it were my call, I'd consider potential options to move up for Reinhart or forward Teuvo Teravainen. Wouldn't be my #1 priority to move up, however.

i think he was going for a joke based on his follow up tweet. like the flyers should draft a grizzly bear from the video.

What I heard from someone I trust is this -- if he's a miss, he'll be similar to Steve Eminger. If club drafting him hits a home run, he'll be an All-Star with two-way elements to his game. Didn't see him falling into the middle ground, either.

That's the word, yes. Some believe he has first-line potential in the NHL despite the lack of size.

Flyers can't use him. Another left handed defenseman.

Thank you, interesting. I can hope he can be a home run esp if the Flyers could draft him

This isn't a great draft for forwards with 1st-line potential -- the three Russians (actually a Tatar and two Russians) and Teuvo Teravainen are about it, with a bunch more projected to have top 6 upside.

I don't want to see the Flyers take Tom Wilson. The offensive upside is too much of a reach at this point -- I see him as another Colton Gillies or Brad May type, not a Milan Lucic.
