Can the Flames really pass on Iginla @ 9?
- Trox88

No they wont

It would be pretty funny if the NHL screwed over Utah because of the leak-we'll never know

It could totally still be rigged, but they wanted us to think it wasn’t by posting that it was

Seems pretty defensive heavy. Could come away with someone decent at 12. The other 1st is BPA.

Wow, SJ got it

It better not be (frank)ing Chicago

That SJ watch party was something to behold 😀

Celebrini looks like CG.

So the draft went chalk

Congrats 2real lol

Something tells me the Ducks are gonna shop that pick and Danny should be all over it.

Whew, I think Lindstrom is gonna go top 5.

Should offer 12 and Drysdale for 3 and Edmonton’s 1st that Anaheim owns.

I’m sure they’d love to have him back. There’s a reason they traded him I think. Injury prone.

Yeah if the guy could stay on the ice I’d love him. Ugh. Hopefully he can get some good luck and stay healthy next season

It’s funny though. Dallas drafted his dad 11OA and he turned out the best player in that draft. Most scouts had him in the 20s.

I just want Florida to lose in the 2nd round so the possibility of a better pick might be available.

I believe for the best overall late 1st to happen the Rangers and someone else has to lose in the 2nd round too.

Update:

So if the final four are...

Colorado vs Edmonton/Vancouver
Boston vs whoever

then the best would be 27th or 28th for the Florida pick I THINK.

Correct, Dallas got Joe Nieuwendyk. With this draft, there are not many potential center prospects in the top 13. Looks like Lindstrom, Iginla, and Helenius. Curious how quick they come off the board.

Tij moved to wing this year and flourished. I’m not sure how he projects at the NHL

Scott Wheeler has Helenius as the 10th best player in the draft. Scouts are saying he will probably go 6-20. Flyers could get him.

Seems like a high floor low ceiling type. Pass

Good to know. I am curious where Trevor Connelly gets drafted. The age old question is when does an athlete get forgiven for off ice issues that did not involve being convicted of a crime?

My first initial gut feeling:

1) San Jose - Celebrini
2) Chicago - Demidov or Levshunov
3) Anaheim - Levshunov or Parekh
4) Columbus - Silayev or Demidov
5) Montreal - Lindstrom
6) Utah - Parekh or Silayev or Richardinson
7) Ottawa - Catton or Iginla
8) Seattle - Eiserman
9) Calgary - Iginla or Buium
10) New Jersey - Helenius
11) Buffalo - Yakemchuk or Richardinson
12) Philadelphia - Catton or Richardinson

Flyers are guaranteed atleast one of these:
Celebrini
Demidov
Levshunov
Lindstrom
Parekh
Silayev
Richardinson
Catton
Iginla
Eiserman
Buium
Helenius

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


- Tomahawk

A couple weeks ago Anthony Stewart who I think works closely with prospects, was singing this guys praises.

Seems like a high floor low ceiling type. Pass
- Just5

He doesn’t have high end tools but he’s solid all around. Size could be an issue for teams. IMO he’s a middle six for sure and solid chance to be a 2C.

I would love to see the Flyers draft Parekh and maybe somehow get a pick between 13-18 to draft Hage. I would be extremely happy with that first round.

If the flames offered they’re 9th for tk and floridas first rounder do you do it
