Like the player, but I think we could have traded down and got him. Wait til Philly takes Provorov. I'm going to be upset.

Gonna be fun watching prov skating circles around us in a flyers jersey.

And then Zacha (frank)ing plasters his ass into the boards.

The dude has huge upside, now that he's part of the team, welcome aboard bud

I don't think e does I think he is average I don't think he has the skills as other players he shoots hard and a NHL body. Definitely one of the only scenarios I'd be pissed off with and it plays off not even sure why I'm a Devils fan anymore (frank)ing terry.

I can breath easier knowing we didn't get crouse or D

It makes too much sense, Provorov, Hagg, Morin, Sanheim, Ghost. (frank) thats good.

I better be wrong about Zacha, this sucks.
- rmdevil313

I like him. I just think we could have moved down a few and still got him.

Zacha it is. Lets hope he is better than you guys think.

You guys wanted them to get forwards and that's what we're doing. Don't see how you can be overly upset with this pick.

Chill out, wait until he does anything to warrant being a bust.

Maybe they go Crouse/ Barzal and San Jose or Colorado go Prov and keep him out west.

I said from the start that Zacha is the one guy I wanted to avoid. I'll gladly eat crow in 5 years if I'm wrong.

I don't know dude I'm just not in sink with this team anymore. I used to love everything they did it was gold now they do everything I don't want it's frustrating.

Ouch. The Flyers just got future Doughty.

Would of loved to fulfill our love of Czechs in the second I have a bad feeling about this guy to many "ifs " if he wasn't a tard and got suspended twice he would be better ranked or if he puts it together this guy and crouse where nothing but "ifs"

He's big, mean and has a great shot. Lots to like, just disappointing that Philly got a steal right there.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss

That was our big chip and this is what we got I hope to god this kid pans out. Would of ratcheted almost anything over him and crouse

From what all these analysts are talking about, this kid's gonna be a stud. Give him a full year in the WHL, and then make your second premature decision.
Lou's chattin away at the Philly table.

You and two other people here think he sucks and I have no idea why. Trading down and getting barzal or Connor would have only been the other options

If the draft was a sure thing it would be easy to figure out which players today. They are called "prospects" because you don't know if they are going to pan out. The kid could be a bust, he could just be a decent player, or he could be a career number one. You don't know until it actually happens.

But who's the best forward with subpar hockey sense? It could have been the small ice, playing center or whatever, but everytime I watched him he seemed to react to what was around him and not anticipate. Again, please rub it in my face when I'm wrong, but I'm going to be disappointed until he proves me wrong, especially if Prov becomes an all star.

Step back from the ledge. I'm disappointed that we didn't get Provorov there, but we did get a 6'4 forward with a great shot and a mean streak. Plus we still have two second rounders in a deep draft to get a few more playmakers or even trade up back into the 1st.

Guys lets be real here, zacha easily has the best hair out of everyone drafted so far. A clear winner in my book.

Just saying Jagr slipped to 5 because teams wanted to go North American. How many Pens fans do you think we're disappointed at the time. Hopefully we just hit gold.

The big thing to me is that Boston has a bunch of 1st rounders so there is room to get picks.
