Wow. If Chychrun can go before 18, we are guaranteed 1 of Kunin, Rubtsov, Bellows, if that's their guy......

Fabbro is still there too if they go RD.

I watched a game of his. Maybe he will be a solid, set-and-forget top 4 puck mover, but he didn't seem especially dynamic and his gap control was a mess. No way I'd take him 18.

He'll be a back end of round 1 guy

Probably. He just didn't do much for me. Smart, I'm sure he will improve his NZ D, but just a bit bland. Like a less dynamic Fabbro.

I don't have a huge preference. Rubtsov is a true center...not sure Kunin is. Bellows is more a PWF/sniper, while Kunin is more a two-way sniper, better skater. Rubtsov won't score like them probably. All 3 great hockey sense.

Chychrun is sliding and people are panicking that he'll be our pick.

Think I go Rubtsov but you're right i'd be happy with any of the three.

Detroit feels like they need a d. They probably would love Fabbro, but maybe didn't anticipate Chychrun being there.

Underwhelming. Very much so a boom/bust prospect. Great skater and size but the offense really hasn't been there

Nothing. But he's a defenseman and more of your basic, steady two-way guy than someone who will put up big numbers.

People don't seem to like him. I have no opinion either way.


To answer the other question from Bacher, If he's at the top of the Flyers' list, then so be it.

If it were me, I think I like Bellows if he's there.

I'm probably going to be ok with whatever the Flyers do, because I just don't feel strongly one way or the other.

The guys on here who do feel really strongly are amusing me tonight for some reason.

Questionable hockey sense. Toolsy but perhaps doesn't have the mind to truly use it. Some worry he's more a second pairing guy at best.
