General manager Ron Hextall anticipates keeping both his first-round picks – the Flyers have the 14th and 19th overall selections next weekend in Dallas – but is listening to offers.
“Certainly, we would move up if the right deal were there, and we’d look at moving back if the right deal were there, too,” he said in a news conference Thursday at the team’s practice facility in Voorhees.
Hextall has interest in a righthanded defensemen, but the three best blue liners who fit that description in this year’s draft – Noah Dobson (6-foot-3, 180 pounds), Evan Bouchard (6-2, 193), and Adam Boqvist (5-11, 168) – are not expected to be on the board when the Flyers make the 14th overall pick.
