I was the first to believe

I hope I’m wrong, not thrilled with O’Brien at 19. But the Flyers track record when it comes to drafting under Hexy earns them the benefit of the doubt in my book

They just compared him to Pavelski.


Everything is terrible again...

Wow another undersized player pffft

we're going to keep getting pushed off the puck jesus

No way we get breggen now tho so that's upsetting

Weird they had o Brien ahead of him and Miller

Bill did mention him a week back as a possible pick in the late first. Credit again to Bill.

Who's Jay O'Brien??? Thought Bill might be right with Lundestrom

2Real we're set for the future my guy

Hear who he was compared to....

Pav...

everyone freak out

Not freaking out but if that is their pick trade down and secure another pick, he will still be there in 5 or 6 picks in my opinion. If he isn't you take the guys that would still be available then

They will grow with Hex's steroids and protein shakes

I still want Berggren, but 3 forwards is too much for a trade up, I imagine.

I'm really not disappointed though! This could be a solid pick still. O'Brien was just someone I didn't watch a ton. But through and through a Flyers type. He has a lot of underrated skill too. I just didn't expect him to go this high.

I’m cool if there fast but this guy is small and the biggest knock is he needs to work on speed

We just drafted Joe (frank)ing Pavelski guys

I like it!!! All USA baby. Think about it... Allison...lacszynski....our USA scouts don’t (frank) around

USA USA USA!!!!

Got some serious talent brewing

Tbh not happy at all. Would rather breggen or Miller. I really think breggen will be an elite scorer and I think we need a few of those. We have 2 way players out the ass

Hextall, Pryor and their team has earned the benefit of the doubt. I’m more than willing to give this kid a shot. I had him as a very high 2nd, 35th on my top 50, so it’s really not a huge reach.

I think a lot of centers in our system have a lot of work to do. The first name that comes to mind is German Rubtsov. I think Couturier is gonna get pushed back due to having a Nolan Patrick and having hungry young player like O'Brian.

The Flyers always seem to have a suprise when picking out of top 10....in Hextall we trust...I guess.
