If you like defensemen that skate well, then this draft is for you.

As I’ve explored before, this year’s draft class is very deep, especially at the forward positions. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t exciting defensemen as well. At the top of the list would be Jamie Drysdale, however, the Flyers don’t really have a shot at all to draft him. He is projected to almost certainly be taken in the top ten.

That leaves a few players who realistically the Flyers could realistically have a shot at taking if they want to go for a defenseman, and in honesty, they aren’t too different stylistically from Drysdale.
