Hearing Flyers could be very active at NHL Draft this Friday. Not one pick until the 3rd round at 89th overall. After they see a pick in each of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th rounds. Last year the Flyers 1st pick came in the 3rd round as they selected Finnish defenseman Simon Bertillson.
That being said the Flyers have made a big trade on each of the 1st days of the past two of three drafts. 07 was Steve Eminger, 09 was Pronger, however both of the trades include the Flyers current 1st round draft pick.
The depth of the Flyers could be shaken up this Weekend. Coburn and Hamhuis are still unsigned, with Cobi being an Rfa and Hamhuis a Ufa come July 1st. So is Michael Leighton although the Flyers have been talking to his agent throughout this week. There is a need for a top goalie in the Flyers organization.
Rumors floating around forwards Hartnell and Carter as well. Much was said about how the Flyers inquired about Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas, Thomas is to make 5 million next year. Also rumors were going around about LAK GM Lombarti's man crush on Hartnell, and that goalie Jonathan Quick may be involved if anything goes through.
