With help from old friend Sergei Bobrovsky, all of the Philadelphia Flyers draft picks in the 2025 NHL Draft are now set in stone, including their three coveted first-round picks.
Bobrovsky, 36, backstopped the Panthers to their second consecutive Stanley Cup triumph, making 28 saves on 29 shots in a 5-1 thrashing of the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6.
With the Oilers officially down and out, the Flyers will hold the 31st overall pick in the 2025 draft, improving one spot on the 2024 32nd overall pick (Sam O’Reilly) they swapped with Edmonton last year.
The Flyers, of course, also have the No. 6 overall pick, their own, and the No. 22 overall pick they acquired from the Colorado Avalanche in last year’s Sean Walker trade in addition to the 31st pick.
In Round 2, the Flyers hold picks 36, 40, 45, and 48. Additionally, the Flyers hold the 68th, 132nd, 157th, and 164th picks.
Flyers GM Danny Briere revealed Tuesday that some of these picks could be traded to move up in the draft order or for other players teams are shopping around the league.
As of right now, nothing is imminent on that front, especially with multiple teams jockeying for draft positioning with 11 days to go.
