Definitely saying no to giving up either 25 pick to move up in this one. Have a roster player and 32 or 12 but ****off if another team wants a 2025. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what do we do now? I really think the Sharks should jump in and offer to take that Merzlikins Contract. hell, if they want to dump Laine's 9 million for 2 more years to go sign Gaudreau's UFA buddy Lindholm, i'd do that too lol. Sharks Give Blackwood (1 year left at 2.3mil) and 11th OA + 53OA for Columbus Getting out of 3 more years of Merzlikins at 5.3 mil + 4OA Then we Draft Zeev Buium 4th and cross our fingers that on of EJ Emery, Dominic Badinka or Charlie Elick is still there at 33OA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) im supposed to go to my in laws tonight for the Canada day weekend. Little do they know im bringing a quart of Vodka and hijacking their TV at draft time. No matter what happens with the 11OA pick, this is the first time the sharks have ever drafted #1 OA, its a no brainer slam dunk and im going to be basking in the afterglow. Speaking of Afterglow, im still laughing at a prank I played 3 days ago. I did the below prank on one of my office buddies. I set a windows update screensaver on his PC for like 4 hours. He never figured it out until someone clued him in after I went home. HOURS. He sat there glowering at the PC, complaining out loud and working off his phone while i tried not to bust a gut. He was so mad HAHAHAHAHA. I know he's going to get me back. We prank each other relentlessly, but he's a bit embarrassed he fell for this one Edited June 28 by J0e Th0rnton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I really wanted the Flyers to deal with Buffalo and try to get their #11 pick along with the Flyers #12 ... I would have been happy. However with Buffalo trading that pick to SJ and a deal with the Blue Jackets seemingly now dead .... I guess the Flyers are stuck at #12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctid Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I wonder whether Demidov's height and weight measurements at the combine makes him a more realistic fit as a Center and that's why the Flyers are aggressively going after the 4th overall pick to pair him as a c with Michkov and not wing? Everyone thought he was 5"11 184 (ish) but he came in at 6"0 1/2 192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way tougher position to play than wing. When you have a guy as talented as Demidov, and he's a wing, it's likely cause he's not comfortable at centre. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Catton or Helenius are sitting there or one of the Dmen fall that's not named Yakemchuk, I draft. Otherwise, I'm looking to see what I can get for the pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s way too much to give up. It is a ton to give up. I'm not disputing that. However, since the Flyers couldn't responsibly stink the rink up this season..I want to a player that can be great alongside of Michkov or at least no matter what we pick, has a great chance to be at least very good in the NHL. I want that #4. Feel free to disagree, but the more we take middle of the round picks, and not top 5.. the more we'll be a middling franchise at best. We got a damn lucky break last year, getting Michkov at 7. Damn Lucky. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's steep, but as OR pointed out, that Colorado pick is going to be a middle to late round pick. None of these picks have much chance of being drastic franchise alterers and improvers, the way the #4 will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
