The 2018 NHL Draft is suddenly just three days away and is —outside of the trade deadline— the best time for teams to wheel and deal on the trade phones.
Flyers GM Ron Hextall was active on the draft floor a year ago, dealing Brayden Schenn for Jori Lehtera and two first-round picks (Morgan Frost, No. 14 overall this year). Hextall said during his most recent press availability that he envisions making both the No. 14 and No. 19 picks in the first round on Friday night, but that he was also keeping an open mind if a deal came along that made sense.
