The Flyers entered day two of the NHL Draft without a third-round pick due to last year’s Justin Braun trade. It was important that they made their fourth-round pick count, so they opted to do so by spending some extra capital in order to secure the services of Zayde Wisdom.
Trading picks 116 and 147 in order to snatch Wisdom at 94 was an aggressive move, but why did they make it?
Wisdom was TSN’s 71st-ranked player, standing at 5’10, 195 lbs. There’s definitely value to be had in terms of the Flyers’ trade.
