Targets
The Flyers would like to add more pure goal-scoring wingers to their system, while general manager Ron Hextall said last week they need to "restock a little bit" on defense, preferably with a right-handed shot. And, the GM also likes to build down the middle with versatile centers, which he's done early the previous two drafts.
So, the Flyers could go a number of ways at picks Nos. 14 and 19.
Let's take a look at their potential first-round targets:

• Profile: LW Grigori Denisenko

Trades?
With two first-round spots and nine selections overall, the Flyers will certainly be open to trade talks, whether it's moving up, back or even a player.
Last year, Hextall made quite a bang on Day 1 shortly after 9:30 p.m. and swapped picks twice on Day 2.
What should we expect this time around?
• Will the Flyers make both of their 1st-round picks?
• Trade talks or contract talks? The latest on Simmonds
• Hextall doesn't plan on trading up in draft, but ...
• Moving up has been Hextall's draft strategy
• Flyers need to find needle in haystack on Day 2
