Skill is nice, but I will take a hardworking player with some size and skill all day, everyday.
It appears to be the way the 2 time champions Panthers, also prefer.Yeah. SKILL being the operative word here. The Flyers haven’t won anything in 50 years because they don’t prioritize skill over any other trait. Florida has size but they also have tons of skill.

It appears to be the way the 2 time champions Panthers, also prefer.There are only a couple of players in this draft that I think have even a 30% chance of becoming 80-plus point guys in the NHL. Misa is one. Hagen is the other.
I hope it will be Hagens, but I feel the pick will be O’Brien. Torts was all about forwards who could skate. Was that an organizational view or a Torts view? hagens is the clear choice, it would be awful to see him fall to BOS.
I simply cant agree with the podcast and his view on Martin. Saying he will sacrifice the “fluff points” and drag his team to victory. Sure that kind of thing is great if you already have other players who can score. Martin is the kind of guy you add to put you over the top. The last bit of grit added to the mix, not the guy you pick at #6 when you need pure skill at center.
If Hagens makes it to six, he’s gotta be the pick. I don’t think Desnoyers makes it 6th. However, the more I think about where I think the Flyers may go with this, the more I think it may be O’Brien (who should be there at six). Has to fill out but a taller kid than the 5-foot-10 1/2 Hagens. Both are playmakers. To me, however, Hagens was the consensus 1st overall guy coming into this year and he shouldn’t have fallen THAT much. He’s still one hell of a prospect. So, if he’s there, I’d take him with no hesitation.
Out of these players who will realistically be available at 6, who does everyone prefer?
Hagens
Frondell
O’Brien
Martone
McQueen
Martin
DesnoyersI say realistically because I have seen numerous drafts where any one of these players falls to six.
I think if Hagens is there he needs to be the guy. You cant turn down that kind of skill.
