Who experts have Flyers drafting at 22nd and 32nd overall

1 week ago | broadstreethockey.com | Ryan Gilbert

The 2025 NHL Draft is now just 10 days away. It’s expected to be a pivotal point for Danny Briere and the Philadelphia Flyers, who have three first-round picks and seven selections in the top 48 overall. The Flyers may end up using some of those assets to trade up or for a roster player, but for now, all we can do is speculate who the team could draft with those picks. Several mock drafts have been released in recent weeks, and the experts were split on who the Flyers would take at No. 6.

The 2025 NHL Draft is now just two weeks away, and there are still plenty of questions about who the Philadelphia Flyers might have available to them at the sixth overall pick. Things are clearing up at the top with Matthew Schaefer and Michael Misa holding strong. After that, though, it gets a bit murkier. The next group of centers — Caleb Desnoyers, Anton Frondell, and James Hagens — and winger Porter Martone could be selected in any order.

It’s been a few weeks since the Philadelphia Flyers officially named Rick Tocchet as the 25th head coach of the franchise. The fan reaction has been mixed, to say the least, with some viewing Tocchet’s connections with Philadelphia as the main reason he was hired rather than sticking with Brad Shaw or bringing in new blood. Nevertheless, Tocchet will be behind the bench in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future. A quick glance at Tocchet’s coaching history doesn’t exactly do him any favors.

2 weeks ago | bleedinblue.com | Ryan Gilbert

The Dallas Stars are looking for a new head coach after firing Peter DeBoer, and St. Louis Blues associate coach Steve Ott has ties to the organization. The St. Louis Blues have seen how much of a difference a coaching change can make. Of course, Craig Berube led the Blues to the Stanley Cup six years ago after being named the interim head coach, and we saw this past season how well St. Louis performed under new head coach Jim Montgomery.

The St. Louis Blues were eliminated in the first round, but two former players are facing off in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final. The 2025 Stanley Cup Final is set to begin on Wednesday night, and once again it's the Florida Panthers against the Edmonton Oilers.
