Flyers' focus
Flahr mentioned how the Flyers would like to replenish the organizational depth at defensemen during this draft. However, at No. 11 overall, the Flyers will pick the best player available on their list.
True centers are never easy to find, as Flahr said, and goal-scoring wingers are always attractive. The early first round appears top-heavy with forwards. It will be interesting to see how things play out after consensus top-two picks Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko go off the board.
"We've identified probably five or six guys that we think have a chance to be there at 11 and probably some of the other teams in front of us will dictate that," Flahr said June 10. "But we're really confident we're going to get a good player."
