Flyers

Here’s what a team of the best first-round picks in Flyers history would look like.

As part of Flyerdelphia’s extensive coverage, we’ve put together a mock draft for tonight’s first round, based on the top prospects in the draft and how we think the picks play out.

They may not get the choice of Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier with the second overall pick, but one way or another, the Flyers are about to add a game-changing player with a tremendously bright future and soaring potential.

It’s our debut episode of the Flyerdelphia Podcast and we focus on the big event of the offseason. With the Flyers holding the second overall pick in the NHL Draft, we look at the two players at the top, Nolan Patrick and Nico Hischier. Who do the Flyers take? We examine the possibilities.

The rest of the Flyers 2017-18 schedule was released on Thursday afternoon. We look at a few of the notable games.

With one day left before the draft, we round out our prospect profiles with a look at a few other prospects who are expected to go early in the first round.

The Flyers had exposed several players, but it was expected that either Michal Neuvirth or Michael Raffl would be the selected party. But according to a report from Craig Custance, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare is the player Vegas has selected from the Flyers.

Could the Flyers actually trade the second overall pick? According to Matthew Sekeres, the host of a midday program for Vancouver’s TSN 1040 AM, there are rumblings that the Vegas Golden Knights could acquire the second overall pick from the Flyers.

The Flyers will open their home schedule at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday, October 14 against the Washington Capitals at 7 p.m.
