I am already thinking it.....Connor McDavid.

 

I will be happy with anything in the top 10. McDavid is the elite for the draft crop, but anything in the top 10 should be an impact player. While the Flyers are bad, they are not that bad. The irony is that probably Edmonton is going to get him. How many #1's do they need before they become competitive????

Edmonton has had the misfortune of getting #1s in not so great draft years. RNH? Yakupov? Think Pittsburgh or Chicago wins a cup if they had them instead of Crosby/Malkin or Toews/Kane? Taylor Hall is a very good player but the other two aren't in that ballpark.

 

And if Philly ends up bottom ten, there;s a shot at McDavid slim as it may be.

Yeah it seems likes that Oilers got the modern day Faloons and Daigles which means if Clarke has any influence over Hexy RNH and Yakupov should be in Orange and Black in a few short years  ;)

Connor McDavid.

 

They will not be that bad. Hanifin Noah (d) is the player I want. He will be the first d-man of the top 10.

Don't need to be that bad to have a shot, it's a lottery. Over 50% of the teams (10 of 19) that have picked first since the lottery was instituted didn't have the worst overall record. In fact, the worst overall team has only won 6 times. 3 times the worst overall team retained the 1st pick because the team that won the lottery was only able to move up four slots, which is no longer true - the winner picks first now, regardless of original seeding.

 

Dollar and a dream, Van.

Of course, saying that, the worst team has been leapfrogged the past 3 drafts, so they're due to keep the pick this year.

I honestly think we have a better shot at McDavid. Hanifan should go 3rd. I really don't think we end up anywhere near there, but a shot in the lottery is possible. I'd be pretty damn happy with any one of Strome/Kylington/Crouse/Zacha to be honest. But Hanifan or Eichel works if we ever managed to be that bad. i just don't see it.

No the M.O. of this team will to go on a winning streak near the end of the season, barely miss the playoffs and pick #14-16. :angry:

That's how the Leafs have managed to suck for over a decade.

That is a name but I think we are a long way off...

 

Good thought....... but both Florida and Buffalo seem miles ahead of the Flyers in regards to the suckage barometer.  Matter of fact you can add Carolina and possibly the mess that is Edmonton to that list too.

The Flyers are a mediocre team, not a horrible one

Noah Haniflin, Oliver Klington or Zack Werenski are on my draft card. The Flyers are not going to suck so bad to get a first five pick (haniflin / Klington), But they are going to suck enough to get Werenski (projected #11 overall). I have wet dreams of Ghost and Werenski (6'2 / 214 lbs, skates like the wind and bangs anything that is not wearing his jersey).

 

I know its a three year program, but I am okay with that.

 

Ghost and Werenski will be the best d tandem in the nhl since I don't know when.

I thought that was Richie and Frosted Tips... ;)

 

I guess bangs was the wrong word. A euphemism?

 

That said, wouldn't you do the same??

In fairness you could have used "nails" or "hits" and I would still have twisted it ;)

Absolutely I would, no issue with that side of things at all LOL

There's some real good defenders in the draft this year. Hanifin is probably the best of the bunch, but don't discount guys like Jeremy Roy, Connor Hobbes and a dark horse who is expected to climb - Nicolas Meloche. Scouts are raving about him and believe that he might end up giving Hanifin a run for the gun in terms of skill and ability. As well, I'd love to see a potential left winger in the mix. I know Paul Bittner was mentioned, but I think a guy like Dylan Strome (who can also play left wing) could be a real good fit here.
