Philadelphia Flyers: 2012 Draft surrounded with big trades
While neither took place during the event, the 2012 Draft was still surrounded by two big Flyers trades.
The Flyers would draft the most players they have since 2007. Seven players joined the Flyers organization during the event. But it was two trades, one before and one after the draft, that may have highlighted the entire event.
They can thank the Columbus Blue Jackets for two of the picks they had. The Flyers would trade a young Sergei Bobrovsky to Columbus, receiving three draft picks in return.
Two of those picks would be used during the 2012 Draft, a second and fourth rounder. They also received a fourth round pick in 2013.
