The Flyers traded Brayden Schenn to the St. Louis Blues for the 27th overall pick, forward Jori Lehtera and a conditional first-round pick in 2018. With the 27th pick, the Flyers selected forward Morgan Frost from the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.

The Flyers have made their selection. Nolan Patrick is the newest addition to the Philadelphia Flyers. Now that the pick has been made and Patrick is officially a Flyer, it’s time to get to know the newest member of the Orange and Black a little bit better. Here is a scouting report on Nolan Patrick.

With the second overall pick at the 2017 NHL Draft, the Flyers selected Brandon Wheat Kings center Nolan Patrick. The Devils selected Nico Hischier with the first overall pick, allowing Patrick to fall to the Flyers.

Here’s what a team of the best first-round picks in Flyers history would look like.

As part of Flyerdelphia’s extensive coverage, we’ve put together a mock draft for tonight’s first round, based on the top prospects in the draft and how we think the picks play out.

They may not get the choice of Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier with the second overall pick, but one way or another, the Flyers are about to add a game-changing player with a tremendously bright future and soaring potential.

It’s our debut episode of the Flyerdelphia Podcast and we focus on the big event of the offseason. With the Flyers holding the second overall pick in the NHL Draft, we look at the two players at the top, Nolan Patrick and Nico Hischier. Who do the Flyers take? We examine the possibilities.

The rest of the Flyers 2017-18 schedule was released on Thursday afternoon. We look at a few of the notable games.

With one day left before the draft, we round out our prospect profiles with a look at a few other prospects who are expected to go early in the first round.

The Flyers had exposed several players, but it was expected that either Michal Neuvirth or Michael Raffl would be the selected party. But according to a report from Craig Custance, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare is the player Vegas has selected from the Flyers.

Could the Flyers actually trade the second overall pick? According to Matthew Sekeres, the host of a midday program for Vancouver’s TSN 1040 AM, there are rumblings that the Vegas Golden Knights could acquire the second overall pick from the Flyers.

The Flyers will open their home schedule at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday, October 14 against the Washington Capitals at 7 p.m.

As we’ve reviewed already, the consensus is that the Flyers will get one of Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier. But there are other prospects that could pop up as surprise selections with the Flyers considering all options. Today, we look at Eden Prairie HS forward Casey Mittelstadt.

We continue our look at 2017 NHL Draft prospects with Portland Winterhawks center Cody Glass.

The NHL released the lists of protected players from the Expansion Draft on Sunday morning, including the Flyers list of seven forwards, three defensemen and one goalie.

Flyers GM Ron Hextall addressed where the Flyers stand on Friday as a busy week with the Expansion Draft and NHL Draft begins.

In the next part of our series on draft prospects, we look at a few players the Flyers could look at if they choose to move out of the top two. We start with Windsor Spitfires forward Gabriel Vilardi.

The Flyers announced on Wednesday one of their preseason games with the continuing tradition of hosting a game at PPL Center in Allentown. On Thursday, they released the rest of the schedule.

It appears Steve Mason and the Flyers are definitely going their separate ways. Mason’s agent, Anton Thun, said on Wednesday that there were recent talks with the Flyers, but nothing formal regarding a new contract.

The Flyers released one part of their preseason schedule for the 2017-18 season on Wednesday, as they will play a preseason game against the New York Islanders at PPL Center in Allentown. The schedule was announced as part of a joint press conference between the Flyers and their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

Our next prospect is the possible No. 2 pick, the other player the Flyers could have left waiting for them pending whom the Devils take with the first pick, Nico Hischier.

As we get closer to the NHL Draft, we’ll look at the obvious top two candidates, but also a few prospects that could be surprises at No. 2 or options if the Flyers do try to trade down a few picks. We start with the player widely regarded to be the best in the draft class, Nolan Patrick.

With Shayne Gostisbehere locked up, the Flyers face a number of options to make their new priority before the Expansion Draft arrives

The Flyers made their first signing of the offseason, agreeing to a multi-year contract with defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, GM Ron Hextall announced on Friday.

It may be premature to look at the hiring this way, but the Flyers opting to bring in a coach considered a “rising star” may not be a good thing for Dave Hakstol down the road. For now, however, it goes along with the Flyers blueprint for the future, especially as new prospects start to arrive.

The Vegas Golden Knights could have interest in taking Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth in the Expansion Draft, given GM George McPhee’s history with Neuvirth. If that happens, what options does that leave the Flyers to fill the void in goal?

The Flyers have hired Kris Knoblauch, the head coach of the OHL’s Erie Otters, to be the new assistant coach under Dave Hakstol.

The Flyers are preparing to add a potential game-changer to the organization with the second overall pick in just over two weeks. But as important as adding a Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier will be later this month, don’t overlook the importance of a lot of other prospects from later rounds already in the system.
