I watch enough to trust myself too though. I had him at 28, I think, but it's more a matter of not having a good read. I liked what I saw a lot. That he was underrated is something I can definitely believe. Was just surprised they didn't trade down maybe, but he's a good pick. I think Berggren has star potential though. O'Brien might be more a 2nd line C or RW, like Farabee.

If he can be a 2C, I’ll be happy. I think Patrick, while not a franchise player, will be a legit 1C and in 3-4 years Coots is still under 30. Move Frost to wing and factor in Farabee, TK, Lindblom, Ratcliffe, Allison, etc.. They should fine up front.

O'Brien was my favorite player in the draft.

O brien isnt gonna play for another 4-5 years mark my words

Well, he can definitely play RW too. He might be better at RW. I'll find videos.

So you had him ahead of Dahlin?

you forgot tavares

Not to worry. The core of Giroux and Voracek and Simmonds will still be producing at a high level when all these kids are ready to contribute. The goaltending plan also aligns perfectly.

The time horizon all lines up, like the sun over the Tropic of Cancer yesterday morning.

Save links for later! O'Brien.

on the bright side there have been a lot of undersized D drafted, that should line up well with our smallish team, LOL

Well, he can definitely play RW too. He might be better at RW. I'll find videos.

Cool, thanks.

All in all, they just added 2 quality forward prospects and can likely add a solid D prospect at 50. I’m happy.

Ahead of Dahlin?

Good deal for OTT

Giving up a top-50 pick to move up 4-spots in a wide open portion of the draft.... nice overpay by Sather and co.

Would Rags trade up for Veleno? They need D. Their D is short.

yeah trust Hex and the gang, Frost was called a reach...

Exactly.....

Actually, I never heard of him until the Flyers picked him.

For announcers to be openly flaming this kid.....I can't imagine what war atrocity he must have committed. You'd think he killed a guy.

And flaccid

Not surprised to see Veleno falling.
