The Philadelphia Flyers have received clarity from the NHL in regard to the first-round draft pick they acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Scott Laughton trade on March 8, 2025.According to a league source, the Flyers have been informed that Toronto still has the option to transfer their 2027 first-round pick to the Boston Bruins if it ends up being in the top 10. In that event, the Flyers will receive Toronto’s 2028 first-rounder, unprotected.If the 2027 pick lands outside of the top 10, it automatically becomes property of the Flyers, and the Bruins will receive Toronto’s 2028 first-rounder, unprotected.It may all be moot anyway. It seems unlikely that the Maple Leafs will give a division rival a top-10 pick. But the Flyers’ argument about the situation — that they should own the 2027 pick unprotected, because of the Maple Leafs having to defer the first-round pick they owe to Boston after winning this year’s draft lottery — apparently fell on deaf ears.If you haven’t been following along with this convoluted saga, colleague Chris Johnston broke it down here last month.Here’s what else I’m hearing about some parts of the Flyers’ offseason.It’s accepted knowledge now that the 2026 NHL free-agent class isn’t very deep. It’s debatable whether there’s anyone on the list who would even warrant a long-term contract.Still, don’t expect the Flyers to offer any of them a lengthy, big-money deal. The only player that I would argue should be intriguing to them is defenseman Darren Raddysh, who would provide that big shot on the power play they’ve been looking for. But, per a team source, it doesn’t sound like Raddysh, who could be in line for an overpayment, is someone the Flyers expect to be in their range.
