Outside of Jones, I've been high on Zadorov for a long time now.

I've now tuned out what the players say in the post game interview and try to focus on attractive female reporters standing innocently in the background.

is this wrong?

He's another with good upside, an up and down playoffs.

Interesting. Ive seen basically nothing of Lindholm or Shinkaruk.

If the Flyers are unable to grab one of Jones, Drouin, MacK, or Barkov (the way I rate them personally)... I would like to see them go after Zadorov, Nurse or Ristolainen.

I like Pulock and think he has really good upside but I tossed in Hunter Shinkaruk who if he can get stronger on the puck and in battles he'll be a good one.

I worry about a guy who can be negated by physical play. Talent-wise, he's got the goods, but if he can be intimidated in the WHL, he'll never be a stud in the NHL

You should begin this task, you'll have plenty of time with the Flyers not playing beyond April

Very comparable to Chara for me, at least from what I have seen from him.

He doesnt have the offensive ability of say Nurse or Jones but I love what I see in the kid.

The size, skating, and physical maturation at his age are great. Coaches have raved about him, and he seems to bring in a kind of Bobrovsky vibe in terms of great work ethic and just wanting to learn and be part of the team/culture. A natural leader Ive read on a few places.

It's right now and will likely change, but he is one I think you can't get too much into right now and think long term potential with him.

I considered Domi, Pulock, & Zadorov for 10th.

Probably not good, because a lot on here didn't think a 1st in 2013 and another pick in 2014 for Subban was worth it.

Definately.

Plenty of good players should be available when Nashville is up to pick.

Established elite d-men are a premium, as the Flyers are finding out.

He's also still kind of being brought along at a slow pace by Dale Hunter. He had a beauty of a goal last night.

I'd rather the Flyers try an draft Nurse and call Nashville up and give them what they want for Weber.
