If the right deal comes along, things could change. But the Flyers are expecting to hang on to the 23rd overall pick.

Teams are in a unique circumstance this year. Scouts have had to focus more on video that in-person assessments with the cancellation of most seasons. That has made for different draft preparations. The Flyers will likely have a plethora of players to choose from late in the first round. And they are likely to make that pick.

General Manager Chuck Fletcher and assistant GM Brent Flahr spoke with reporters on Tuesday about various topics, including the NHL Draft.
