2018 NHL Draft

[awaz]

New plan. Trade up a couple spots for Ty Smith and take Kupari at 19.

Hearing a lot of Kravtsov buzz for 14 lately too.

Hearing a lot of Kravtsov buzz for 14 lately too.

Here's an example of a quote that makes me doubt he's a Hextall kind of pick:

"...he doesn’t have the game right now to be a complete two-way player required of today’s NHL player. He didn’t show much grit and tenaciousness on the defensive side of the puck..."

 

[JBM73]

New plan. Trade up a couple spots for Ty Smith

Now THIS guy sounds like Hextall's kind of player:

In addition to being fast and skilled is "...very responsible in his own end. He already defends better than Boqvist and Hughes...A character player..."

Ty Smith, with little bit of Gostisbehere and Provorov, should attract Flyers in NHL draft

Didn’t think of a Ghost/Provy blend.

I thought Kimmo Timonen.

Either way, I think he’s made a late push to be my #1 guy that has a chance to be there at 14.

The more I look at this, the more I think we could just draft two really good, impact players at #14 and #19, walking away very happy in the end.

Odds are that two players we covet will fall to the spots where we are drafting.

Morning boys! Only a day away from the NHL draft. Any bold predictions leading up to tomorrow? I have one. My bold prediction is my gut tells me Wayne Simmonds will be dealt on draft day. I hope not, but just a gut.

My bold prediction is the Flyers move one of their 1sts for a player that helps next season and beyond.

My bold prediction is we move both picks and trade into the top 7.

 

[JBM73]

I’ll combine everyone’s bold predictions and say Hextall trades Simmonds and a 1st to move up to take Tkachuk, who makes the team this year.

I could deal with this happening

Oo that's an interesting one for sure.

I would not give up #14 and #19 overall for Edmonton's #10. That's giving up too much, but perhaps we can give them just one of the picks plus something else they are in need of and we can live without.

Yeah, use Edmonton to get who we want at #10, probably the best defenseman left. Then, take the best available overall at #19.

 

[mall3013]

We should be getting a solid player at 14. Ty Smith still available. Thought Edmonton may take a look at him.

Farabee. Intersting

Farabee. Intersting

I'm not sure if I like this pick? I am kind of jealous on who the Isles got. They are loading up very well for the future.

 

[raptorlife4]

Wonder if smith falls to 19. Im sure farabee would have

 

[raptorlife4]

Smith gone

 

[mall3013]

Yup and of all places

Smith gone

NJ. Damn!
