If Benson makes it out tonight I'd like him at 32 as a possible option

Now we could really use a pure skilled winger. We have a center with decent size who plays bigger, with a fantastic 2-way game. Someone who can just light the lamp or is dynamic would be a great compliment.

Couturier and Rubtsov are the types of centers who do all the hard work, with skill, and improve and free up skilled wingers to just go ape poop.

I liked when Clarke was greeting him and patting him on the shoulder. German doesn't speak English and so was just smiling. You know Clarkie wanted to sock that dirty commie right in the kisser

God, how amazing was it to have everyone rattle on about the Flyers taking a "prototypical" Flyer. Even still just before we selected Rubtsov on the broadcast.

So, Hexy takes a Russian with a potentially elite 2-way game.

Him. Abramov....Bitten....Kyrou....Dahlen....

There's a few. If we select 4 players in the top ~50, or trade up and select 3....we have assets to work with to find a pure scorer or dynamic winger. God, I just can't get over the fact that a) Hexy targeted Rubtsov, who was one of my favorites with a perfect game for us b) we traded down and picked up a #36 and still got him.

I'm just over the moon.

To those who wanted someone with more "bite" to his game, Rubtsov has bite. Just in a hockey playing sense. He's absolutely relentless forechecking and backchecking. He is one of the hardest working players in the draft.

He said he's working to get out of his Russian contract to come to NA.

Flyers believe were it not for Russian drug scandal involving U18 team, Rubtsov would have gone higher -- top 10.
