Flyers on the clock...

[BelmontShore]

Time is UP and they're in a holding pattern.

Might be a trade?

Paperwork handed to Bettman.

Flyers switch picks with Wild for a 2025 3rd

Flyers - Jett Luchanko

Expected the Fin C, Konsta Helenius, actually.

[BelmontShore]

[Luchanko may be a bit undersized, but concerns about that sort of melt away when you realize you have to catch him, and catching Jett Luchanko is a tough ask. Luchanko’s speed is top notch; having topped out the CHL’s top prospects game in sheer speed among all players invited, and earning that reputation of skating prowess well with strong, tight strides that allow him to just explode off of mere drifting into a full blinding sprint at the drop of a hat, particularly finding extra speed coming out of turns and cuts, which can make defending him a real headache. Especially considering he’s the man trying to create chances for Guelph.]

[BelmontShore]

See?

Helenius goes the very next pick to the Sabres.

Helenius was playing in the Finnish Elite League as a professional and would be close to being ready at the NHL level.

13. Philadelphia Flyers (from MIN) – F JETT LUCHANKO
14. Buffalo Sabres (from PIT via SJ) – F KONSTA HELENIUS

[BelmontShore]

Seriously.

I stayed up until 5am to have them trade #32 for a pick in 25 or 26 and not even get a 2nd day pick.
