With the 12th pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and with their second pick of the evening, the Philadelphia Flyers have selected center Jack Nesbitt from the Windsor Spitfires.
We were all wondering if the Flyers, equipped with six picks in the top 50 of this draft, would do some wheeling and dealing, but few would have expected it to be a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins of all teams. But that’s what happened, as the Penguins dealt the 12th pick — the second of two in a row that they were slated to have in the first round — to the Flyers in exchange for the Flyers’ other two first-rounders at 22nd and 31st overall.
