Flyers Draft Strategy with 4 Picks

The Flyers enter the 2026 NHL Draft with just four picks after trading their third-round selection to Toronto, but GM Daniel Briere says it’s not a dealbreaker—especially since they’ve stocked up on prospects recently. With a first-round choice at 21st, plus picks in rounds 2, 6, and 7, they’re keeping options open: stay put, trade back for more picks, or even move up for a specific target. Assistant GM Brent Flahr notes the early draft is loaded with top forwards and defensemen, then the talent pool evens out. Whatever they choose, the player they land will likely need time to develop—just like past gems at 21st like Giroux and Konecny. Briere’s flexible, but the goal is always building for the future.
