Last year, we broke down the history of the 12th overall pick in anticipation of the Flyers making that selection. Of course, they didn’t make that pick–they traded back to 13th and drafted Jett Luchanko. Thanks for making us look silly, Flyers!
Anyway, with the 2025 NHL Draft starting this Friday, we’re taking it a step further than last year and breaking down every first round pick the Flyers have–all three of them. Normally, we’d start from the 2005 draft at the dawn of the NHL’s cap era, but…there weren’t 31 teams until the 2017 draft.
