The #Flyers were never picking at 21 that was known.
The intention was to trade for a player.
As time went on less options became available and they settled for a trade down.
My sense when it comes to pending UFA Claude Giroux is that he's still weighing all his options right now. Taking a patient approach. Likely headed to the UFA market next week while keeping the door open to Ottawa.
We are being told the #Flyers were close on a deal involving their 21st pick for a player that ultimately fell through.
Latest is that Danny and the #Flyers still have no intention in making a pick at 21 and a trade remains extremely likely.
Who will we select with the 21st overall pick? 🤔
Flyers contributor @billmeltzer predicts every first-round selection in the 2026 edition of Meltzer’s Mock Draft.

Per sources: The #Flyers trading their 21st overall pick in this NHL draft is imminent and could happen at any moment.
They are currently fielding offers as we speak.
I am being told it will be a piece in a trade for a young controllable asset.
More to come.
Can confirm this report is wrong but let’s see if he keeps it up once Martone plays on Tuesday.
We have been told by sources that #Flyers prospect Porter Martone will make his debut on Tuesday against Washington.
Told that Flyers are leaning towards Martone making his debut Thursday at home vs. Detroit, but that could change. No final decisions yet. Remember -- team has off tomorrow, and probably good for PM to get a skate in on Tuesday/full practice Wednesday with new mates.
Daryl Morey was reportedly looking to add Kawhi Leonard to the Sixers at the deadline, per @KevinOConnor
“Executives have said that the Sixers were actively making calls pre-deadline, though nothing seemed remotely close. Some sources suggest that Morey was star hunting with Kawhi Leonard being a name that was connected to Philly. But nothing happened. So Embiid, Maxey and the team saw McCain get dealt, the tax get ducked, and no pieces brought in to help.”

@BrendanCull3 Source close to the team. Has been kind to us in past with Torts and Tocchet signings. As well as some trades. This one has us dumbfounded
To say I’m shocked is an understatement. Shabanov did a complete 180 in the last 12 hours. #Islanders snuck in last minute and stole him from the #Flyers. #Rangers never had a chance.
