FLYERS NEWS

On day 2 of the NHL draft the Flyers actually made some picks although nothing significant. In the 3rd round they took goalie Adam Morrison and defenseman Simon Bertillson. In the 5th round they took goalie Nicola Riopel. In the 6th round they took center Dave Labrecque and left wing Eric Wellwood. Finally in the 7th round they took defenseman Oliver Lauridsen. Ultimately, none of these guys will be joining Flyers anytime soon if at all. In fact they're all 20 years of age or younger and will probably need at least 3 years to develop. Probably the best of all the picks would be the defenseman Bertillson who scored 31 points including 9 goals in 30 games with his Swedish team Brynas. God only knows about the rest of these guys.
