DEMIDOV AND HAGE! LETS GO!

[@frequentsee3815]

Dumb. Montreal should be embarrassed by how hard they intentionally tanked and completely neglected the product they were icing in the process. Shameless

[@JohnnyJMurphy]

@@frequentsee3815are you for real or trolling. In a sport with a hard cap it is almost impossible to continually be a legitimate cup contender over an extended period of time. Unless you are not only hitting on your top draft picks but hitting on mid rounders consistently your going to go through 5ish years where you go from legit contender to mushy middle team. Mushy middle is the worst never bad enough to draft top 10 but never good enough for a real playoff run. You need to have guys coming up constantly to replace guys that either price themselves out or age out. To become that consistent team that not only drafts well both early and mid but develop these guys and have sustained success you have to hit the reset button. It’s impossible to build a team strictly thru free agency and by trading your draft picks

[@DizzyDez613]

Obviously Sennecke going third was a surprise. But some guys were saying he could sneak into the top five. I guess the more shocking part of it was that he went before Demidov. AND Lindstrom. But the latter is obviously less surprising than the former. Other than that the only things that I found actually were surprising how the aforementioned Demidov dropped, and how Buium dropped. Im especially surprised Dickinson went before him. MANY people thought Buium was the best D in the draft. And I believe he was the fifth D taken. Just goes to show how coveted right shot D are. And how coveted size is (Silayev). I guess I’m also surprised Teddy Stiga didn’t go until well into the second round. I really like his game. The scouching guys had him ranked 5th or 6th. Which I thought was absurd. But he was DEF a first round quality prospect imo. Anyway, it was an entertaining draft. There were SEVERAL picks that had me going, “WHO?!” And that’s lots of fun, I think. Lol

@@dmdt16 I think if hes still there at 10 you do something with the Devils or Sharks. I don’t think they would have hated taking Buium instead of Dickinson which the Flyers clearly did. Sure you have to give up an asset but then secures the top D potential guy we so desperately need too.

[@dmdt16]

​@@Flyerguy99after listening to Briere post draft. I really believe they are really focusing on next year's draft. I think this year was - if our guy is there take him but, if not we'll make a deal. That being said. I am somewhat surprised they didn't take Buium. Even if he doesn't live up to the hype - I believe he would be a solid and reliable second pairing D-man. But of a head scratcher, for sure.

@@dmdt16 I think they’re really hoping Drysdale can be turned into something by Brad Shaw and York/Sanheim can be one of the best 2nd pairs in the league. Thats why I’m just bummed we didn’t get Dickinson. Fills the exact hole we need and then maybe we focus on C at next years draft.

[@dmdt16]

@@Flyerguy99 I couldn't agree more. And, I really believe that's what they were thinking - Drydale/Dickinson or even Bonk/Dickinson down the road. Either/and/or would have been very sweet!

My flyers were disappointing but im happy Chicago Drafting Boisvert is great, I can get a jersey with my last name on it without getting a costum one

[@mikeyschwartz3355]

rough draft for us flyers fans but could’ve been worse

[@tomblade]

That's a good one :D

[@thefool733]

Very clearly stacking capital for a deeper draft next year. 6 picks in likely in the top 40? I'll take that any day of the year.

[@boisvert45]

@@thefool733 I didn't even consider that, that is actually really good

Montreal had the best draft of any team, Chicago's draft was disappointing. Way to get Bedard some help Kyle from Chicago.

[@ratedRblazin420]

Devils pick is fantastic, now my only hope is that Markstrom isn't horrible this year and we can compete in the Metro again. Button isn't an insider. He's the NHL version of Mel Kiper, someone who doesn't know what he's talking about come draft time and needs to retire already.
