Love this kind of content!
Would much prefer Hagens, Desnoyers or Misa. The Flyers need a playmaking centre who can set up Michkov, Foerster, Tippett, and Konecny and play with each/all interchangeably as a 1C. I don't see that in Frondell at all. When the puck comes to him he wants to shoot it. I would wager Frondell ends up as a winger in the NHL. Would I leave him on the board to select Jake O'Brien? Not sure about that yet. I'm hoping both Frondell and Martone go off the board before the Flyers pick.
Great content as always, the subscribe ding nearly gave me a heart attack. Please mute or lower that guy
I'm not disagree with you but Hagens got talent sure but I'm not sure he could Play center in the NHL, not a good fit for the Flyers undersize player , Misa Will not available, for me Desnoyers, O'brien and Frondell in order for me
(edited for grammar)I honestly think any of the top centers could be better than the other at this point (except Misa). I DO want the team to pursue and get the guy they IDENTIFY though.
Because that means they know what they're doing lmfao.
Good or bad at least we know who's in charge right, and if they should stay in that position.
Frondell would be the best fit with Michkov in my opinion. That shot and finishing ability paired with Michkovs creative playstyle would be unbelievable.

Would love Frondell on this team, I think he sticks at center, his shot is really really good with the potential to be elite, he plays a good 200 foot game, the Flyers aren't scared of a guys skating ability (he's a much better skater than someone like Obrien)… I'm not really concerned with the "should the Flyers take a playmaker or a goal scorer at 6?" take the best player on the board. I think if it's between Frondell, Obrien or say Denoyers I'd take Frondell in that situation. Between him and Martone would be a tougher call because I think Martone has even higher offensive upside but not at a position of need but again take best player available.
Certainly could potentially
alot of speculation that Brady Martin may sneak into the top 5. Or that the Mammoth would trade back to 6 with the idea to take Martin and get another draft pick or player from the Flyers. The thought is the Flyers would take Desnoyers at 4. If the Flyers stay at 6 would they take Frondell over Hagens, if Martin is picked in the top 5 and Desnoyers and Martone are both gone? Going to be very interesting to see what happens.
Frondell is from the djurgarden factory. I'm not worried one bit. I've seen him play all year. This guy doesn't back off from anything.
They need SKILL, SIZE, & SPEED. He has all of those qualities. Won't last to #6. I predict 1 Schaffer 2 Misa 3 Martone 4 Frondell 5 Desnoyers 6 Hagens falling to the Flyers. Does Hagens have skill & speed ? Sure. But he's generously listed at 5 ft 10, 175 lbs. Making him the smalleat of the 'elite center prospects'. With 11 picks available, I expect the Flyers to make moves. York, Brink, Tippett, & Risto have been in some trade talks too.
Buy Martone shirt Tocchet will call his name.
