The Flyers won't see Maksim Sokolovskii in the NHL for a few years, but that's probably OK for right now.
The Flyers are a few years into their process now.
They stocked up on a few notable prospects already, like Matvei Michkov, Denver Barkey, and Porter Martone, and hope they'll soon have more on the way in Oliver Bonk, Jack Berglund, and down the road, their newest first-rounder in big defenseman Maksim Sokolovskii.
But they're still on the hunt for more talent and youth, and to get that, they still need draft capital in the years ahead
With that in mind, here's a current look at all of the Flyers' future draft picks from 2027-2031...
• 1st: Own.
• 1st: Acquired from Toronto in 2025 trade of C Scott Laughton.A top-10 protected pick.Now unprotected.*
• 2nd: Own.
• 3rd: Own.
• 3rd: Acquired from Los Angeles in 2025 trade of LW Andrei Kuzmenko.
• 4th: Own.
• 4th: Acquired from Florida as part of 2026 trade of F Garnet Hathaway.
• 5th: Own.
•6th: Own.Sent to Toronto as part of 2025 trade of C Scott Laughton.
• 7th: Own.
• 7th (Conditional): Acquired from Carolina as part of 2026 trade of LW Nic Deslauriers.
*Toronto won the draft lottery for the first overall pick in 2026 on Tuesday night, and with that, the Flyers will get the Maple Leafs' first-rounder in 2027...they think. The Leafs also owe the Boston Bruins a first-round pick from their trade for D Brandon Carlo, and have a choice now between which team gets their first in 2027 and the other in 2028.
The Flyers believe, and appear ready to argue with the league, that they should get the earlier pick in 2027, but for now, there's no official ruling. This will be updated as soon as there is.

UPDATE [6/11] – The NHL has told the Flyers that, for right now, the 2027 first-rounder is theirs, The Athletic's Kevin Kurz reported Wednesday.
However, if that first-rounder becomes a top-10 pick, the Leafs will have the option to send it to the Bruins instead, pushing the first Toronto owes to the Flyers back to 2028.
Per a league source, the NHL has informed the Flyers that while they own the Maple Leafs' 2027 first round pick (Laughton trade), the Leafs still have the option to transfer it to Boston if it's in the top 10. In that event, the Flyers would receive Toronto's 2028 first rounder.

This will either go two ways...
1) The Leafs just leave the 2027 pick with the Flyers, no matter what happens, on the merit of the Bruins being a divisional and original six rival that Toronto would prefer not to give a huge advantage to.
2) That pick falls into the top-10, and the Leafs dangle that carrot to try and provoke a bidding war after it, which would test what either team is willing to part with.
Obviously, the preferred route for the Flyers is the first one, where they wouldn't have to do anything.
