Flyers Target Late-First Gem Cullen

The Flyers face a pivotal draft with their lowest first-round pick in years—21st overall—after a playoff run and a trade that slashed their total picks to just four.

Scouts are eyeing Wyatt Cullen, a young, skilled winger with elite playmaking flashes and a point-per-game pace despite playing on a weaker team. His physical growth and standout performance at the U-18 World Juniors have drawn comparisons to Jack Hughes, and his father’s connection to head coach Rick Tocchet adds intrigue. But with Cullen’s rising stock, the Flyers may need to trade up to secure him. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
