The Flyers remained in the seventh overall pick for the 2023 NHL Draft. The Chicago Blackhawks won the lottery and the first overall pick likely to be used on Connor Bedard.
Before the ping-pong balls are drawn and the results of the 2023 NHL Draft Lottery take place, here’s a primer on the Flyers odds in this lottery and what each result means.
As we prepare for the start of the NHL Draft, we are providing this preview from the Flyers perspective, looking at targets with the fifth overall pick, a recent history of the fifth overall pick, and the possibility of the Flyers trading the pick.
The Flyers entered Day 2 of the NHL Draft with six picks and made each of them with no more trades taking place to move draft capitals and acquire or move additional picks.
On Day 2 of the NHL Draft, the Flyers do still hold six draft picks that could produce some diamonds in the rough. As the second round and the resumption of the NHL Draft prepare to begin at 11 a.m., here are a few names still left on the board for the Flyers as possible targets entering Day 2.
The Flyers technically have the 14th overall pick in Friday’s first round of the NHL Draft. However, they will make the 13th selection. While it is not a Top 10 pick, a year of uncertainty, unpredictability and limited viewings of prospects could certainly leave some finds at the middle of the first round.
