Entering this weekend’s NHL draft in Dallas, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall has a dilemma: Does he trade up and try to get a better pick, or does he stay put and make the 14th and 19th selections in the first round?
Craig Button, the former Calgary general manager who is now a draft analyst for TSN in Canada, thinks he should choose the second option.
If the Flyers move up to get a player, “there may be a little bit more projection and a little bit more potential, but, to me, to get two players over one in this draft, that’s where I’d take my chances,” Button said.
