Philadelphia Flyers Three Round 2019 NHL Mock Draft

The Philadelphia Flyers will have four selections in the first three round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.

With the 2019 NHL Draft over two months away, now seems like a good time to make a way too early, three round mock for the Philadelphia Flyers. This’ll be General Manager Chuck Fletcher’s first draft with the team and, like always, will be huge for the future of the franchise.

The Flyers, barring a trade before the end of June, will have four picks in the first three rounds with one in the first, one in the second, and two in the third thanks to the Cooper Marody trade that sent the young forward to the Edmonton Oilers back in March of 2018. Again, this could all change by the time the draft rolls around, but it’s what they have at the time this article was written.

I’m basing these picks more off of what Philadelphia needs in their farm system rather than what the NHL club needs at this moment, though one of these prospects could fill a longtime use for the team. This isn’t to say the Flyers pipeline is weak or anything, because it’s obviously not, but nothing is ever perfect in the world of sports and you can never have too much depth.

It’s also worth noting that zero of the players I’m about to name will see legitimate NHL time in the 2019-20 season. Whether they’re going to college or simply aren’t ready to make that big of a jump, I don’t want expectations to be that any of them are NHL ready. You normally see just two or three players in each draft do so, too, and sometimes even less than that.

So, with that all being said, let’s get right down to it. Here is the very first Flyers only 2019 NHL Mock Draft from Broad Street Buzz.
