Bill any thought on if you think the flyers stay put at 12 or fall to 13/14 they may look to trade the pick for immediate help?

It would be nice to get some draft lottery love. 2nd,3rd,4th spot would net us a core player.

I still keep coming back to the 6'7 russian dman.

You would think eventually one of these giants will become what people hope...

Maybe this year, maybe another year.

The one i want the most is Zayne Parekh. This kid is what we need for our blueline, top pairing high scoring rhd defenseman. Looks like a makar type dman.

My gut feeling tells me Calgary wins the lotto. Then we can’t draft Tij

Ohhh I think Michkov knows what he’s doing. Dropping hints. A lot of smoke right now. Not that we need him to get here this year but it looks like it might be happening.

Really talented kid, with a really cool personal story too:

Hypothetical:

If Draisaitl did become available after the playoffs and was willing to come to Philly and sign long term, what do you think a trade would look like? I’ll add that Michkov is untouchable as the point would be to have those 2 play together.

I would assume the Oilers want to keep the window open for McDavid. So it couldn't just be picks. Frankly I do not see that the Flyers have enough to make it happen. Especially if Michkov is out of the equation.

Take Michkov off the table and the Flyers have very little in terms of pieces to compel the Oilers to trade Drai here. No top-5 pick. No other elite prospects. No budding NHL superstars. Just some expensive vets, B-level talent and a sea of middling depth.

Oilers could do so much better dealing with other clubs.

Wait. There's a hockey team in Toronto that is favored to win a playoff series?

Have to agree. Not much to entice EDM to send him here.

My favorite as well. I see him going top 5 though, definitely top 10.

Foerster, Sanheim, York, TK, Peterson and 3 (2024-2026) unprotected 1st round picks for Draisaitl, Ekholm and Campbell. This deal assumes Draisaitl signs longterm with the Flyers.

*This probably does not get them close.
