2. Philadelphia Flyers – Nolan Patrick (C, Brandon Wheat Kings, WHL)

Patrick is far from a consolation prize at second overall, and frankly, either one of them could go first.

Should the Flyers select the Winnipeg native at #2, they would be adding an incredible power forward to their already deep prospect pool. A top end forward prospect along with youth on the back end such as Ivan Provorov, Shayne Gostisbehere, and Travis Sanheim will ensure that the Flyers are a force to be reckoned with down the line.
