As the 2016 draft rapidly approaches, we’ll take a look back at how the Philadelphia Flyers’ 2015 picks have progressed over the last year.

Ron Hextall’s philosophy as general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers has been pretty clear: build through the draft and develop players. He has followed through on that ethos thus far by stockpiling draft picks, whereas Paul Holmgren was always willing to move picks for veterans.

Last summer, the Flyers had 9 draft picks. This year, they have even more with 10 picks. While it is near impossible to predict how the Flyers will spend their picks this week, we can catch up on the progress of their picks last year.
