The first round of the 2021 NHL Draft will take place on July 23rd, and the Philadelphia Flyers will have all eyes watching them when it’s their turn to make a selection. There has been plenty of chatter on whether general manager Chuck Fletcher and the organization will keep the pick to draft a player to add to the team’s prospect pool, or if they’ll ship the pick off for immediate help at a position of need, most notably on defense.
