BARRING DEALS between now and then, the Flyers will select 11 players when the NHL draft takes place in Chicago on June 23 and 24. Including the second pick overall, seven of those occur within the first four rounds, where players such as Shayne Gostisbehere, Jordan Weal or even Olympian and Stanley-Cup winner Jonathan Quick have been found.
Those are some of the more notable hits, but they are greatly outweighed by the anonymous names or outright misses who have also populated those rounds. Just last week, the Flyers cut ties with Samuel Dove-McFalls, a 2015 fourth-round pick who is still only 20.
