11. Philadelphia Flyers – Peyton Krebs (C, Winnipeg Ice, WHL)

The Flyers have formed one of the most dangerous young defensive cores in the league over the past few years.

With guys like Ivan Provorov, Travis Sanheim, Robert Hagg, and Philippe Myers. With so much talent on the back end, why not add a skilled forward in Peyton Krebs?

Krebs spent this season playing for the Kootenay Ice (known as the Winnipeg Ice effective next season) and captained the team at the young age of 17 to go along with 68 points in 64 games.

He isn’t the biggest guy on the ice, standing at 5’11 and weighing in at 181lbs, but he’s a fearless forward who isn’t afraid to go to the dirty areas and has a great offensive game to go with it. All in all, he would be a great pick for the Flyers at 11th overall.
