    From what I read, Shabanov would be signing a 1 year deal. IMO, he will only play in the NHL. If he cannot make it in the NHL right away, I expect him to go back to the KHL. I do think Briere will try to move up from 22 if Aitcheson or Smith fall out of the top 15. Otherwise, would it make sense to move up for a winger with the organizational depth chart the way it currently stands. I do not know. Maybe Cootes if they believe he a legit 2C potential. Nesbitt has size, but lacks skating. Seems like another Berglund.

    lest say they use all 7. whats the odds they hit on half?

    how are you defining “hit”?

    flhar wasn’t very good in minny and so far doesn’t look to hot here in philly. I have very little faith. what you hope is they don’t fuck it up at #6 as that will once again set them back numerous years.

    I have a feeling they will not be taking BPA. They are going to focus on size, despite these players being years away. — yes its me 2050

    While I don’t believe his job is in any sort of danger as of right now, does Briere have enough cache to use all 7 picks and kick the can down the road another 3-5 years, especially when this is considered to be a weak draft?

    My problem with the scouting department is finding talent that has the hockey IQ to play well at the NHL level. We’ve had a lot of guys over the past decade who are adept at making bad decisions on the ice… and whether it’s a coaching/development issue, or the kid just doesn’t have it between the ears, it’s something that needs to be improved upon (and that goes for players acquired via trade, too).

    I had the same issue a few weeks ago. I simply cleared my recent history and haven’t had that problem since.

    If Shabanov is as good as they say that is a pretty good group of wings. Should have (4) 20 goalscorers and maybe (2) 30 goalscorers.

    Shabanov would be a low risk potential high/solid reward. What I wonder and I assume the answer is yes, do they guarantee him a spot on the NHL roster?

    there is a glut of wingers, volume wise, one would assume they have to move out a few; it will be brink IMO (unless a player is hurt and hasn’t been announced yet…..). Also leaves no room for a Bump or the like if he has an outstanding camp. Which I am ok with.

    Going to be really hard to pass on Hagens or Martone at #6 if available. I like O’Brien just feel he is a notch below those two as a prospect. With all of these picks, would not be opposed to drafting 2 goalies in this draft. I do expect some trades before the draft. Let’s hope the Flyers are involved. If the Shabanov rumors are true, certainly a glut of wingers on the roster and at LV.

    Can you imagine, if they make all seven picks in rounds one and two. I can’t think of any franchise who’s done something like that in recent memory. Even Bill Armstrong and the Coyotes organization didn’t amass that many picks in any one draft, although, in 2021 – 2022 – 2023 they drafted six times in the round one and six times in round two. This could change the direction of the franchise if they hit on even half of these picks.

    not trying to be a whiner but the site is unusable on mobile. ads take up 4/5 of the screen and it logs you out whenever you try to use the forums. quite literally only works on desktop.

    Not a whiner. It’s something we need to address
