ICYMI the Flyers continued stocking the pantry last night. They got another pick for defenseman Noah Hanifin via the team site:

The Philadelphia Flyers announced the club has acquired a fifth-round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft from the Vegas Golden Knights, according to General Manager Daniel Briere. Additionally, the Flyers traded restricted free agent Mikhail Vorobyev to the Calgary Flames in exchange for defenseman Noah Hanifin, who was then sent to the Golden Knights for the aforementioned fifth-round selection.

The Flyers will retain 25 percent of Hanifin’s cap hit ($1,237,500).

Danny Briere is stockpiling assets ready for whenever Matty Michkov breaks away from Russian tyranny and comes over as the final piece of the puzzle to deliver the Philadelphia Flyers back to glory. Oh, they lost a 5th rounder in the Sean Walker deal? Danny B:

The Flyers now have eight picks in the first two rounds in 2024/2025 and we still have 48 hours to go in the trade deadline:
