Would have liked a wing, but sounds pretty good

TSN - Progress has been exceptional. Nothing he can't do in the game. Skates, thinks incredibly well, has poise, makes plays offensively and defensively and is a player who recognizes opportunity in the game and takes advantage.

What a loser Randy Miller is.

#Flyers pull big surprise and draft WHL defenseman Travis Sanhelm, ranked 53rd best North American skater by Central Scouting.

I don't know. The flyers go off the board every year It seems. I'm tired of it.

pretty much everything i read says there really is no board in hockey after the first 5-6 picks anyway.

From BSH

Phenomenal World U-18 performance on both sides of the puck for Sanheim throughout tournament. Truly elevated his game to another level and stepped up as the defensive leader while showing a good offensive skill-set. Sanheim is the type of player that is very appealing at first glance because of his size and the aestethics with he moves around the ice. He joined the Hitmen early in the season and he took the opportunity and ran with it. He is still very raw but has good range and shows decent agility and lateral movement mechanics. He controls space well against the rush and makes good decisions with the puck in his own end. Sanheim’s offensive capabilities grew as the season went on and his confidence around pucks became stronger with every game.

Probably would have preferred a wing, seems like we've drafted a lot of dmen the past few years and have a pretty good pipeline in the minors. Could use a non center for moar goalz

wonder if hextall is going to focus on building from the net out. mason with stolarz a few years away. ghost, morin, haag, alt, now sanheim. really loading up on the back end.

I never knew Clarke had his finger removed.

We have drafted a ton of dman, but they aren't all going to pan out.

eskin hates the pick

Eklund saying Flyers may be close to big Buff or at least someone from Winnipeg not Kane.

flyers offered vinny/schenn/#17 for #1

I'm guessing that's the not fat schenn

Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. Of course he hates the pick because that is his MO; take a position opposite the powers that be and make an asshole of himself. Honestly, does anybody pay attention to that douchebag anymore?

QFT.

Thought savior was making a joke. Doubt he even knows the NHL draft was this weekend.

They can trade them if they have too many. You see what good dmen are going for?

So we offered complete garbage?

True, but you've gotta diversify your picks. You've got a lot of high pick dmen in the pipe, grab a winger, need then too.
