Philadelphia Flyers: Reviewing the Draft

The Flyers kicked off the draft making a odd move, trading the 11th overall selection to Arizona for the 14th and 45th selections. The deal made sense in theory, as the Flyers gained a fairly-early 2nd round pick for moving down just 3 spots. In practice though, the deal looks rough, but before we touch on what the Yotes got and what the Flyers did not, we have to talk about Cam York.

Projected to go 12th overall to Minnesota in Kyle Periera’s mock draft, York can be described as an ideal two-way defender. York has tremendous offensive skills, which allowed the American defender to post 65 points in just 63 games with the USNTDP.
