DALLAS — Since Sunday, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall and his scouting staff have been huddled in Dallas, site of this weekend’s two-day NHL draft, and have been going over different scenarios and strategies.
The draft will be held Friday (Round 1) and Saturday (Rounds 2-7).
The prospects’ on-ice ability, Hextall said, is just part of the equation.
“I believe to project the player, you have to know a lot about that player,” Hextall said last week. His staff learned insights about the prospects by interviewing them at the recent scouting combine in Buffalo.
