Though the potential restart of the 2019-20 NHL season has been at the forefront of hockey-related news, we can’t forget about draft!
Yes, the draft — the ultimate lottery ticket (unless you’re taking Alexis Lafreniere). The Flyers have taken some pretty good players in the first round in recent years, including Morgan Frost, Joel Farabee, and Nolan Patrick. However, for the 2020 draft, unfortunately (well, as a side effect to a good result) the Flyers won’t be in the best position to take the next superstar.
The Flyers will be picking at #25, and according to Corey Pronman’s draft board, that puts the Flyers in the running to take a very good-to-legit NHL prospect (this ranges from a top six forward or top four defenseman through to bottom tier players).
