NHL draft preview: Flyers trying to continue successful first-round pattern

DALLAS – With their first pick in the draft Friday night, will the Flyers get a player who becomes as dominating as Brian Propp or as much of a flop as Claude Boivin or Danny Lucas?

The Flyers have the 14th overall pick in the draft, and the only other times they had that selection in the first round they chose Lucas (1978), Propp (1979), and Boivin (1988), a trio of wingers.

They had, uh, different types of careers.

Propp finished with 425 career goals, including 369 in his 10½ stellar seasons with the Flyers.
