Great stuff as always Charlie. Listen to the pod everyday.
Who are your top 5 picks for the 6th excluding Schaefer and misa?
Thanks

Hagens, Martone, Frondell, Desnoyers, O’Brien.

Great stuff Charlie. I listen to the pod also and you and Bill have mentioned several times that the Flyers feel they can fix skating issues so someone like Nesbitt could be a pick despite heavy feet. How would you say the Flyers have actually done in terms of “solving” skating issues? Foerster is still no speedster but I feel he’s gotten a little better?

Excellent article, thank you – I was only recently thinking that while we are all focused on #6, the other 1st/2nd rounders also offer a great opportunity to get someone with a high ceiling.

It’s interesting that you place the top 6, including Hagens, above O’Brien. Purely going by what I have read, Brien has the talent and being a bit younger, also has more of the proverbial developmental runway ahead of him, which could put him on par with some of the other Cs in the top 6 – many of whom also have question marks.

Any reason why you think O’Brien doesn’t match up?

As I noted in the article, higher risk factors.

Hey Charlie! Here is an idea for article!….Assuming the Flyers keep all three first rounders where they are, can you give us a few 3-player groupings, based on guys who you can reasonably expect to be available when they are picking, that you would be thrilled with if the Flyers came out of the first round with these players? (Example: Hagens (6); Nesbitt (22); Vansaghi (31/32))

I am surprised McQueen did not make your list Charlie.
