Jam1986 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Just got done reading it! Not knowing much other that and other sites. With the # 7th pick my choices would be either Werenski,Crouse,Barzal,Meier or Conner. Think though Werenski will be a beast in a few years should be choice but others would be fine! The second pick Fischer,Greer,Gropp,Senyshyn,Larsson or Debrusk. Would choose Fischer or Debrusk. Need a goalie if there go with Montembeault. So pick away and anymore info like to hear. Others to watch for Guryanov,Bear,Wagner like him,Kovac,Bondra,Dermott,Lauzon,Siegenthaler,Boramman,Guhle,Cecconi and Spacek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly29 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Crouse, Ratanen, or Meier with the 7 overall I would be happy and I would love to see Nicholas Meloche fall to 23 or maybe Brandon Carlo. I would love for the Flyers somehow move up and grab Strome with there first 1st rder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly29 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 He is the biggest project out of the three from what I have read... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 He is the biggest project out of the three from what I have read...I'm not buying it how do we know that Crouse being 8 months younger isn't a contributing factor?I still like Crouse better.

jammer2 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The only worrisome thing regarding Crouse is the same for most power forward potential types....will he drive to the net as strong in the NHL as the OHL....can he physically gain position and drive d-men backwards or out position opponents. The standard every young power forward will be matched up against now is Chris Kreider. No body will be faster than Chris, but the power move...ie gain inside position and stiff arm d-man while striding towards the crease...that can be emulated, if there is sufficient leg and upper body strength.

mojo1917 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Everything i've read about Barzal makes me hope he's around at #7.I thought the deal with Crouse was he's a '96 kid playing against mostly '97s ... is that correct ? if that's the case , i'm not real wild about using a #7 on him. as with anything though once you get down from McEichelfan...there's no "locks" . this is why to me, the second round draft pick is a fine tool to use to improve the roster immediately. (not that we're there, i know we're not) but even these highly regarded jr and NCAA kids can still wind up being Brayden Schenn or Kyle Turris, okay NHLers but not OMG NHLers.

Crouse is a 97 birthday almost 8 months younger! http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=205155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 @OccamsRazor it was Rantanen I was thinking of thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimKerrFan12 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Meier might not be as big as some of the other "power" forwards, but he also has puck skills and is more multi dimensional. You will not be disappointed when the Flyers pick him at #7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm on the Crouse bandwagon. He turns 18 the night before the draft and if you want a fair comparison of his game, look at Gabriel Landeskog of Colorado. As a 17 year old, Crouse is already ahead of the curve when compared to Landeskog and Crouse is a better player defensively at the same age. The only issue with Crouse, and it's not a real big one, is that it takes quite a bit for him to get mean and when he does get mean, he loses his cool. With that being said, he's got a pro shot, he's physical, he can skate and he's only going to get better. Let him go back to OHL for another year, really grow into that big frame of his and when he finally turns 19, have a spot ready for him on the Flyers. I'll call it right now - if Crouse goes back to the OHL next year, he'll be an 85 to 90 point player. I'm also high on Barzal, but I think he's going to be taken a pick earlier than Crouse. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd certainly like a Landeskog type player in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 As a 17 year old, Crouse is already ahead of the curve when compared to Landeskog and Crouse is a better player defensively at the same age Interesting. Does he have GL's leadership qualities though? I honestly don't know, but it was one of the big intangibles with GL that made him go as high as he did. GL was also tough, didn't need to be poked in the eye before he showed his nasty side. I wonder if the two things are related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
