The Philadelphia Flyers are going to be right in the middle of basically every single trade rumor about a good defenseman and a young, good center. It’s bound to happen.

5 prospects the Flyers could trade up for at the 2026 NHL Draft

The Flyers don’t have the number one pick. They’re not in the top five, and are 15 (and nine) spots removed from the slots they had last year when they selected Porter Martone with the sixth overall pick, and traded up for Jack Nesbitt with the twelfth pick. Needless to say, unless they unload a handful of picks and prospects, they’re not going to be in the top five this upcoming 2026 National Hockey League Draft in Buffalo. However, like they did last year, that’s not to say they couldn’...

It might be complicated to explain, but essentially it boils down to this: if your are born anywhere from Jan. 1 to Sept. 15 of the calendar year, you have a three-year window to be d...
