:::Flyers Draft Central 2012:::

[awaz]

i'm sure we'll talk about the draft a lot more this season, and JM suggested a draft central thread as well, so here it is.. the flyers 1st round pick will be 20, 21, or 22 depending on how the rest of the playoffs go.. i believe if the rags and coyotes play in the cup they'll be 22nd.. if the devils or caps play the kings in the cup, i believe the flyers would pick 20.. i'm pretty sure the cup finalists pick 29th and 30th, and the rest of the picks are based on regular season standings..

I see a few guys on here I'd like to see wearing orange and black. I can tell with the description of height and weight, that many of these kids need to hit the gym and start eating. Some twigs I see. Lol

Just by size and right handed shot whats the scoop on this russian Cody Ceci?

Also can;t go wrong with a dude named Griffin right?

I like Slater Koekkoek!

 

[chy1127]

They could have drafted Hyka before but went with a lumberhead that has scored 1 time in 3 years.

 

[awaz]

dalton thrower is easily my favorite name on the board.. also in the range of the flyers pick so who knows..

martin frk is interesting just for the lack of a vowel haha

I saw a mock where we got him at 22.

Draft tracker: 5 questions with Dalton Thrower, Saskatoon Blades - Buzzing The Net - Junior HockeyBlog - Yahoo! Sports

he's got my early vote.. as far as 'could be available' and 'fits what the team needs'.. if only he'd hit a growth spurt and get to 6'1 or 6'2

I would love to see them move up to get 1 of these guys. Not sure what can be moved other than Jvr and 1st to Toronto for Schenn and 1st. That would get to 15 which may not be high enough.

Reinhart is the guy I really would love to have if he is available at our pick. Good size and a frame he can fill nicely.

talkin about mathers i presume?

wasted pick

 

[flyersfan4706]

I have my Draft Preview Hockey News next to me.

DMan in the top 30 and where theyre projected to go.

Ryan Murray-4
Matt Dumba-5
Morgan Rielly-6
Griffin Reinhart-8
Jacob Trouba-9
Cody Ceci-10
Derrick Pouliot-13
Hampus Lindholm-15
Matthew Finn-18
Ludvig Bystrom-19
Olli Maatta-20
Slater Koekkoek-23
Brady Skjei-26
Mike Matheson-27
Ville Pokka-28
Dalton Thrower-29

Looking back at THN's mock draft here are the reasonable Dmen I want. In order. With their projection next to them. I still have never seen any of these guys play. It is 100% on feeling.

1) Olli Maatta - 20
2) Slater Koekoek - 23
3) Matthew Finn - 18
4) Ludvig Bystrom - 19

[awaz]

the more i read about these guys the more i would've pushed the 'dont trade the 1st round pick' belief earlier in the season.. it looks like there's about 15 #1 dmen in this draft based on how these sites are talking about them haha

i agree w/ 4706's assesment based purely off the articles i've read today
