Bill Meltzer: Quick Hits and Musings: Draft Sleepers, Laughton, Alumni, TIFH

I don’t want a top 10 pick that skating is a project, we seriously need some speed in this lineup. Only guy that seems to maybe fit the slower foot speed would be Dvorsky in our range.

Assuming Michkov does not fall, I believe it will be Leonard or Benson @ 7. I'm fine with either prospect.

I don't think Benson will be the Flyers pick at 7. I could be way off, but I don't get that vibe.

I’ve seen that Nate Danielson has moved up a lot on some draft boards. Any thoughts on him Bill?

Too much skill, and not big enough?

Jones has already telegraphed their pick with an obsession on defence that Torts himself mentioned.

Or will it be Leonard, the feisty blue collar winger who fits that Broad Street Bully mentality.

Have to keep that archaic bullpoop identity alive?

Crackhead scouting department deserves to be begging for change on a street corner. When is the last time the Flyers infused an actual dynamic offensive star into the league outside of Couturier more than 10 years ago?

Don’t humor me with TK.

Do look forward to the next firing, even if internal promotions are indeed the preferred way in this country club. Kjell’s firing was nothing but a beauty.

I wouldn’t count out Moore at 7 either.

Leaonard seems like a solid pick, just so happens to fit the narrative

We get your point

Interesting, in my novice view I like Reinbacher or even Sandin-Pelllikka better. Flehr does seem to favor US hockey or Swedish dmen with early selections. See if this continues.

If Gabe Perreault is there at 22 I’d like to see the flyers take a shot.

is he really a dynamic offensive player?

they are def drafting a D imo based on what has been said. Unless something crazy happens and players fall.

I have no memory of them drafting a RHD Dman in the 1st rd in the last 30 yrs.

I’ve seen that Nate Danielson has moved up a lot on some draft boards. Any thoughts on him Bill?

Hearing they are higher on Willander than they are on Sandin Pellika. As always, take it with a grain of salt.

Is a defenseman really going to be bpa in this draft at 7? The flyers have drafted safe for to long.

Would it be safe to assume a forward will the pick @ 7?

No more Brandon Wheat Kings please

I would hope so, should be a good prospect available and potentially really good one depending on how the picks before shake out
