I'd like to see briere in the press box before the puss gets injured and we can't buy him out. Wouldn't put it past him to stay in Philly with his kids

A franchise of this stature shouldn't risk it. If Briere's $6.5 cap hit comes back, same old, same old.

Nurse has been climbing as he's really stepped up his offensive production this season versus last which addressed some scouts' concerns. So far things I've read from him and about him depict him as a strong character player/leader who keeps working hard on improving his game and his performance bears that out. I have to admit, I'm developing a bit of a Manboy crush on him. His skating and raw talent at his size (6' 5") is very very attractive. I know BPA is the traditional route, but if the Flyers pick after say, 5th, I wouldn't be unhappy with Nurse.

He's got a really great mix of size and mobility, for sure and his offensive showing is sliding him ahead of Zadorov in some eyes. Zadorov is a mountain, solid as Hell. But the athleticism of Nurse is tempting.

He models his game after Pronger and Weber...maybe Pronger can earn his money by doing more mentoring.

Might as well, he's doing scouting now, rather have him teaching

I'd like to see Briere sit or dropped to the 3rd line, Couturier bumped to the 2nd line with Schenn & Simmonds and see that line get a pooppot full of ice time.

If they get in the top 3, it'd be awesome

Screw that, get Wellwood and McGlinn up and dump Gagne and whoever.

If Mike Babcock & the Red Wings were to part ways, would he jump to the top of anyone else's coaching wishlist

only thing that makes me hesitant is if they plan to use schenn at center next year...wouldn't wanna move him if that's gonna be the case

They'll get a really good prospect anywhere in the top 13-15.

I've see a few different mock drafts, in general, they have Jones, Drouin and MacKinnon going in the top 3. The next 3 are generally Nichushkin, Monahan & Lindholm, although I have seen people have Nurse, Zadorov, Ristolainen and even Shinkaruk climbing into the top 4.
