With slim odds, the Flyers didn’t strike gold in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes.
But they will have a chance to bring in some needed high-end talent near the top of the 2023 NHL draft.

The first round kicks off at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday, while Rounds 2-7 follow Thursday starting at 11 a.m. ET.

“I’ve got to tell you, he’s the player that probably gained himself the most momentum from the U-18 world championships,” Dan Marr, the director of NHL Central Scouting, said June 1 in a phone interview with NBC Sports Philadelphia. “Where a lot of people there, if they didn’t have him as a surefire top-10 consideration, I think they changed their mind.
