The Philadelphia Flyers always want to add players to their roster without really rebuilding. This time around, the Flyers really want Alex Debrincat.
According to TheAthletic insiders Lazerus and Powers:
It's believed that Philadelphia is in the mix, with the No. 5 pick in the draft the centerpiece of any potential package. The Flyers � who are always in win-now mode � also have Florida's 2024 first-round pick (top-10 protected; it would become a 2025 first-rounder if it falls in the top 10 in 2024) from the Claude Giroux trade. Would those two picks, plus a good-but-not-great prospect be enough? Davidson is hoping that as draft day approaches, the pressure will ratchet up and he can get more for DeBrincat, a bona fide star who is among the league's best goal scorers and has become a very good two-way player who even kills penalties. But if no one else steps up to the plate with a better offer, the Flyers are a very real possibility. According to Elliotte Friedman:
I do think Philly and Chicago are engaged on Alex DeBrincat. Definitely. What I'd heard was that things being talked about there included the 5th overall pick, the one the Flyers have in Thursday's draft.
Elliotte Friedman Wow the Flyers really want Debrincat!
