Philadelphia Flyers: 2010 Draft class turned out to be a bust

The 2010 NHL Draft turned out to be a tough time for the Flyers. Only one of their six draft picks suited up in a Philadelphia jersey.

There are times where a team hits on multiple players in a draft. There are also times where nothing seems to go right when you look back. That was the case for the Flyers in the 2010 NHL Draft.

The Flyers made a total of six selections that season. They didn’t make a single pick until the third round. And that pick was given to them after they traded the rights to Dan Hamhuis to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

They ended up with two seventh round picks, one of which was acquired in a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes. The Flyers traded away Jon Matsumoto as a part of the deal.

So all in all, six players became a part of the Flyers organization after the two day event. But how many of them actually played in the NHL? The answer to that one is three of them.

How many of those three played for the Flyers? You would like to say all of them, but that is not the case. Only one player drafted in 2010 ever suited up in a Flyers uniform.

But for now, let’s start with the team’s first pick in the third round.
