If Course is still on the board when the Flyers pick with the Tampa Bay Pick, would you go with him?

I prefer others, but would not hate it. I do agree with OB that he's a bit of a reach at 7.

There is probably about 6 to 8 players I'd seriously consider at 7.

I'm going off the assumption that it goes McDavid, Eichel, then some form of Strome, Marner, Hanifin as the top 5. Maybe Provorov slides in or goes at 6, but I'm not realistically expecting the first 5 to be available.

After that, I go Barzal, Provorov, Rantanen, Werenski, Zacha and then maybe Crouse & Meier, in terms of my level of want.

i've been following these guys mostly through the various talk on the boards and twitter. is there any guy making a late season charge that haven't been talked about that it should not be a surprise to see him taken in the 7-10 range?

Provorov and Meier have risen since the start of the season. Barzal was rated more lowly early, but he's been stellar since he returned from injury

but what about someone who folks would go "really??" when drafted by the Flyers at 7, but the experts would go, "oh, that makes sense. He may be a reach, but great upside." anyone?

Meier, really good player but a likely 10 - 14 range pick.

Timo Meier, Travis Konecny, Kyle Connor, Thomas Chabot are probably the best example of that type of guy. Zacha, maybe, because he's missed time with injuries and suspensions and hasn't been dominant in his first N. American season

I'll even add Yevgeni Svechnikov........a riser & talented player but probably a mid 1st rounder.

He could. I've seen some that love him and some that are cool on him. i think he goes 10-14, but I wouldn't be stunned if he went 7-10, either.

I blame OB. Would much rather be getting fired up for playoffs

You'd have to be patient he's committed to Michigan. But from what I've read he'd seem like a solid pick. Problem is USHL games aren't on to have watched him play.
