Let’s say the Flyers win 1st overall. Should the pick really be Schaefer or would you take Misa to play with Michkov? An argument can be made either way, so who would you choose?
I’m feeling more and more like Schaefer is the best way to go, IF the balls fall our way and we get the top pick. Misa is really intriguing, but I feel like Schaefer’s upside as a D is higher than Misa’s upside as a forward.
I agree with selecting Schaefer. The Flyers have not had a #1 DMan since the days of Kimmo and Pronger. Schaefer has that potential and is very young. He will not be 18 until September. The injury this season seemed more of a fluke, then any lingering issue.
If the Flyers get the first overall pick, I think Schaefer is the way to go. Can’t draft by positional need at the top of the Draft. Besides, it’s not as if the Flyers would be hard-pressed to find a spot for him on the blueline once he’s ready.
