Daily News | Who could the Flyers draft if they land pick No. 7, 8, or 9 in the lottery?
Brian Galivan, the longtime strength and conditioning coach for the U.S. NTDP, believes Oliver Moore has speed that rivals that of Connor McDavid and Dylan Larkin.With all eyes on future superstar Connor Bedard heading into this year’s draft, let’s be honest — 31 of 32 teams aren’t getting him. Odds are the Flyers are one of those 31.
Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen , William Nylander , and Zach Werenski each went eighth overall. The last time the Flyers had the seventh-overall pick was in 2015 when they picked up defenseman Ivan Provorov. They picked eighth overall in 2011,. The Flyers have only picked ninth once, selecting Pierre Plante in 1971.
There’s been plenty of top-10 buzz around Canadian winger Zach Benson, who was the leading scorer on the WHL’s best team, the Winnipeg Ice. He ranked second in the WHL in scoring among 17-year-olds with 98 points in 60 games behind only Bedard . At 5-foot-9 and 163 pounds, Benson is a small, energetic, and creative winger. He is also dedicated to playing with sound defensive details, which ought to entice the defense-first Flyers under coach John Tortorella.
Canadian center Brayden Yager of the Moose Jaw Warriors plays hard and with speed while measuring in at just 5-foot-11 and 166 pounds. He was the No. 3 pick in the 2020 WHL bantam draft and the CHL rookie of the year for the 2021-22 season . While his greatest asset is his shot, a trait that the Flyers may covet, he put up just 28 goals in 67 games this year. One of the biggest questions surrounding Yager is if he’ll stay at center when he transitions to the NHL given his size.
