The wait was long, and not much happened as the draft ticked right along on Friday night. For the entire day, and 23 picks gone by in the draft, we waited for news of a trade from the Wild table. Fenton, tasked with making tweaks, and unable to find a trade partner on night one, went ahead and kept his pick.
Some really solid players kept falling in the draft as the Flyers took player like Jay O’Brien, Ty Dellandrea went way earlier than expected to Dallas, and Filip Zadina didn’t go until number 6 to Detroit.
