The first round of the 2024 NHL Draft has come and gone and the Philadelphia Flyers were busy.
The Flyers traded down and selected high-energy center Jett Luchanko at 13th overall, passing on defenseman Zeev Buium — then general manager Danny Briere had to explain why they didn’t go for the consensus top available pick. And then with 32nd overall ready, they moved it to the Edmonton Oilers for a top-12 protected 2025 first-round pick. Just foregoing making a second first-round selection to now have three picks in next year’s first round.
