While making my selections for this Winter’s 25 under 25, I started to wonder about the Flyers draft history, given the gluttony of prospects in the Flyers pipeline. It is very thoroughly noted that the Flyers have historically been a “short term solutions” team, with the AHL and prospect pool being under-prioritized for big name trades and headline grabbing moves. Of course, Ron Hextall changed this with his drafting strategy, and thanks to him, the Flyers are in possession of one of the deepest prospect pipelines in the NHL.
I wanted to explore is the Flyers draft history of European players.
