The Fan Blog : Ek on Flyers: Crowdsourcing: Who would you take at #2, #4, or #6

I'd stand pat at 6 and take whoever falls. From what I've read not even misa is a sure thing 1c.

2. Misa
4. Hagens
6. Desnoyers or Frondell
This is assuming Schaefer goes #1 Martone at #3 and whoever goes #5 Frondell or Desnoyers you pick the other. I'm not opposed to Jake O'Brien at 6 but if Misa ,Hagens, Desnoyers and Frondell all go before 6 you take Martone.

At #2 Misa
At #4 Hagens
At # 6 Mrtka

Cant recall who it was but there was an interview with Flahr or Briere and one of them stated that they wouldnt necessarily take a C with the #6. They stated they would take the BPA which to me means they prob rank Martone or Mrtka ahead of some of the Cs

If they do select one of those 2 perhaps they try and move up with the COL pick and take McQueen?

If you believe the scouts are right and you have Misa as a potential #1, go for it. Otherwise, why did you acquire all that draft capital? To accumulate more middle six players? Or to hold your breath that one of the later picks turns an unbelievable corner? Chances are that ain't hapnin'.

You're dealing with house money. Take a swing.

If they do stand pat, take the BPA regardless of position. Winger, D, whomever. Don't reach up again like last year. That was disappointing. It you believe O'Brien, McQueen, Martin, Aitcheson, etc., will fit best, move down and pick up an extra piece or two for the effort.

hagens seemed to like philly

It'll end up being 1 of Desnoyers, Frondell, or Obrien. I actually see McQueen dropping.

you gotta wonder why teams like San Jose or Utah are shopping their top picks this year. I'd still be happy to get the #2 or #4 - but why aren't they?

Because theyve already got a ton of young talent. The pick can be sold off ans still grab a good player few picks back. Theres a clear frop off after the first two picks. Ilses likely yaking Schaefer. SJ doesn't need Misa which is why they can afford to move down and get assets to help them take the next step

Looks like its all but confirmed we are getting Maxim Shabanov. Flyers are the fav right now

If either think guys like O’brien, Hagens or Desnoyers are as good or better….maybe even a McQueen? Then why not move back….although I don’t see it happening.

Adding skill is good…. But my god this forward core is tiny.

Jake O'Brien is the correct answer.
