We’ve finally reached the crossroads moment, so to speak, of our community draft board, as the No. 7 name on the board essentially marks the cutoff of “players you would be most happy to see chosen by the Flyers on the 27th”. The player chosen for that honor was Seattle Thunderbirds center Mathew Barzal, who…

In most drafts, a player like Boston College defenseman Noah Hanifin could be in the conversation for the No. 1 pick. A smooth skater with solid size and a transition game that rivals most, Hanifin is the prototypical modern-day shutdown defenseman. Unfortunately for Hanifin, this draft isn’t like most drafts, with two superstar forwards and…
Seattle Thunderbirds center Mathew Barzal has gone as high as No. 6 overall in various NHL mock drafts, and he was ranked at No. 11 among North American prospect skaters by the league’s Central Scouting department. BSH readers ranked him at No. 7 on our Community Draft Board. The chance he’s on the clock when…
Another defensive prospect was added to the BSH community board today, as Michigan’s Zach Werenski — a likely lottery pick who’s seen by most as one of the draft’s top three defensemen or even better — topped a field of otherwise-forwards in Tuesday’s voting.

The logic was that Murray, a coach with years of NHL…
The Philadelphia Flyers have picked in the top 10 of the NHL draft just three times in the last 15 years: Sean Couturier at No. 8 in 2011, James van Riemsdyk at No. 2 in 2007, and Joni Pitkanen at No. 4 in 2002. This year they’ll have the opportunity to do it again, as…
We have the first true winger put on our community draft board at the No. 8 spot, where Finnish winger Mikko Rantanen has grabbed the first position “beyond” the Flyers’ No. 7 spot by collecting 41 percent of the vote amongst a crowded field of candidates yesterday. Rantanen is, by most accounts, the top European…
The 13th spot on our community draft board goes to a native of the great country of Switzerland, as right winger Timo Meier grabbed the latest spot put up on the board with a 50 percent share of the vote. For the third straight year, the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL have a forward who’s…
