With the 127th overall selection, the Philadelphia Flyers have selected right-handed defenseman Wyatte Wylie out of the Western Hockey League. The Everett Silvertip was one of the biggest risers in Central Scouting’s draft rankings, as he jumped from 179th at the mid-term rankings to 71st in the final rankings.
The 6’1”, 192-pound rearguard had six goals and 25 helpers for 31 points in 72 regular season games before he had eight points in 22 games for the Silvertips during their deep postseason run. Wylie failed to score a goal in 81 games (regular season and postseason) during the 2016-17 campaign.
