On a night that saw the Philadelphia Flyers add Nolan Patrick to their organization with the No. 2 overall selection, it would have been very easy for general manager Ron Hextall to simply collect his winnings from the table and go to bed.

With the first round coming to close, he flipped Brayden Schenn to the St. Louis Blues for Jori Lehtera, the 27th overall selection in this draft, and a future first rounder.
