The event will determine the order for the first 16 picks of the first round and will be broadcast on ESPN. The time is still to be determined.
The Flyers, a win away from potentially qualifying for the NHL Playoffs this season, will begin planning for future seasons when the NHL draft lottery convenes on May 7.Although the Flyers’ future is still to be determined, they took one tiny step closer on Friday.
In 2021, the NHL adopted a new format, which has been in effect since 2022, where teams can move up 10 spots at most. Therefore, if the Flyers ping pong ball is selected, they can only move up as high as the No. 2 pick. Philly cannot claim the top spot in the draft lottery and missed being one of the 11 teams in contention for the No. 1 pick by three points. The Flyers also have the Stanley Cup-contending Florida Panthers’ first-rounder to complete the Claude Giroux trade.
The fall-off doesn’t mean the Flyers cannot find talent in this year’s group of teenagers. According to assistant general manager Brent Flahr, the Flyers will be selecting players based on a few key traits. Akin to 2023, the team is looking for guys who are big, skilled, fast, and hardworking who play a heavy game.
“But our guys, they’ve been instructed that competitiveness is a key thing. Obviously, hockey sense and skill; we want all those things, but is a hard thing to be coached up. It’s one thing always asks. He wants competitive guys, as you know. It’s just a hard thing to coach every day, for guys to compete, work hard. It’s just something that needs to be kind of ingrained in them. That’s just a must.”And regardless of where the Flyers do land, what happens next is on the players.
