trade schenn and schen for the eigth and get rantanen and provorov

You're right, they just need to make the Finals, not win the Cup.

Traded Kimmo Timonen to Blackhawks for 2015 second round pick (?-?), 2016 conditional round pick (second round if Blackhawks advance to 2015 Stanley Cup Finals and Timonen plays in at least 50% of the games, third round if Blackhawks advance to third round of 2015 playoffs and Timonen plays in at least 50% of the games, else fourth round)

Thanks. That's what I thought.

They lost 4 of their top 6 for a long stretch. Hell Bennett was out for almost the whole season. Riding shot gun with him all season would have turned a lot of heads and his upside that everyone is questioning wouldn't be a question at all.

I don't see how people think they know a kid's upside. Seriously.

It's tough, but I've talked to a few who scouts OHL prospects who love the player. I think he'd be a welcome addition.

I think I could seriously put him before Rantanen if I had to put up a ranking of my favorites at #7

I've become a big Meier fan since I started back watching.

I watched him last year when the team was geared more towards an offensive system and he was awesome.

This year they changed coaches and went to a defensive system and with the injuries he was asked to a lot did it as well as he could.

I'd be happy with him, maybe more than most.

I'd rather have Crouse than Rantanen.

He's another I'm a fan of as well.

I'm leaning that way and even having Meier ahead

As would I. I think his skating is better. Put him with Giroux and Voracek and let him play his simple game and get to the net and he could pop 20-25 goals his rookie season.

He's another I'm a fan of as well. More of a goal scorer than Crouse.
- ob18

No one will agree with me but I'd probably pick him 5th after the two big D.

As I back watch my opinion changes weekly.

This is Belarus' miracle on ice

So many people love him that evaluate talent for a living. I have a hard time brushing him off. I watched him toward the end of the season and he was just doing everything.

I hope your right when the flyers take him

I have a funny feeling Rantanen is going 6 to Devils. Just seems like a guy they would take to add size and be a replacement for Clowe and Zubrus.

Where is Baba-Roob????

Are any Flyers up for any awards? Or is it a shutout?

That might be a bit sooner for me but I'd go #7 for him....

My rankings would be

Barzal
Provorov
Zacha
Werenski
Crouse
Meier
Rantanen

The kid can really score goals. I don't know if I can pass on that. I think a lot of teams in the 3 to 11 range are going to look back on this draft and wonder how they passed on this kid. Scoring touch is a gift that shouldn't be easily passed on. I mentioned yesterday he reminds me of Corey Perry.

One man's look at the top 10 upcoming NHL draft picks

Posted 9:11 AM ET | Comments 9

7. Colorado-Ivan Provorov
The Avs need to add talent on the back end badly. They send the 10th and 40th pick and a 3rd round pick in 2016 to Philly for Nick Grossmann and the 7th pick and grab the swift skating Provorov.


- J35Bacher

That's a good deal for us? Grossmann is a salary dump in your opinion?

Still have concerns with Zacha's inconsistencies, but if he's capable of putting it all together, he's going to be a monster.

It's a shut out. I heard Berube is getting a dinner in his honor at someone's house.

Just a question.

Just say the top of the draft goes:

Edmonton-McDavid
Buffalo- Eichel
Arizona - Hanifin
Toronto - Strome

Carolina sits at 5. They need assets and dmen. Would you offer something like B.Schenn and 7 to get 5 and take Marner?

Carolina could still get Provorov or Werenski at 7 to fill the blueline they need.
- J35Bacher

Nope. I'd stay at 7, grab Barzal, keep Schenn

I'm not really sure Carolina needs Dmen, TBH. That have a couple few guys (most notably Hadyn Fleury & Roland McKeown) who are similar to what the Flyers have in the system and, they have Faulk and Murphy on the roster, not to mention a guy like Jordan who had a very solid season and decent depth in Ron Hainsey.

Like much of their season, a shutout.
