Flyers NHL Mock Draft 2025: Predicting Philadelphia's picks and potential steals

The Philadelphia Flyers are in the midst of a rebuild and have a good chance to change the course of the franchise in the 2025 NHL draft.

Philadelphia has 10 picks, including three in the first round and three in the second round. Although the Flyers may trade some, here is a projected mock draft for Philadelphia.

Flyers NHL Mock Draft 2025

Round 1, Pick 6: James Hagens, C, Boston College

James Hagens was in the running to be the top pick, but he's expected to drop a bit, and a lot of talk is that the Flyers have interest in him at No. 6.

Hagens spent last year at Boston College and struggled as a freshman, but he does have the traits to be a good NHL player in a couple of years.

Round 1, Pick 22: Blake Fiddler, D, Edmonton

The Flyers could then take a defenseman out of the WHL in Blake Fiddler.

Fiddler is 6-foot-4 and is a physical presence who projects to be a good shutdown defender with some offense.

Round 1, Pick 31: Cole McKinney, C, USANTDP

With their final pick in the first round, the Flyers could take Cole McKinney.

McKinney is playing in the national development program. Last season, he recorded 26 points in 23 games. He may be available at a later selection, but the Flyers should make sure they get him at 31.

Round 2, Pick 36: Shane Vansaghi, RW, Michigan State

The Flyers then take Shane Vansaghi, a winger out of Michigan State.

Vansaghi recorded 16 points in 37 games as a freshman, but should have a bigger role next season.

Round 2, Pick 40: William More, C, USANTDP

The Flyers go back to the National Development Program to take William Moore 40th overall.

Moore recorded 21 points in 25 games last season.

Round 2, Pick 48: Jack Ivankovic, G, Brampton

With so many picks early in the draft, Philadelphia can afford to take a bit of a reach for a position of need, and that's what it does at 48th overall.

The Flyers have a major need at goalie, and Jack Ivankovic out of the OHL, could fill that. Ivankovic played for Team Canada at the World Juniors and can be a future starting goalie.

Round 3: Pick 68: Charlton Trethewey, D, USANTDP

Philadelphia takes another defenseman, selecting Charlton Trethewey out of the National Development Program.

Trethewey is a good shutdown defenseman and can develop into a solid prospect in a couple of years.

Round 5, Pick 132: Filip Ekberg, RW, Ottawa

Filip Ekberg played in the OHL last season after leaving Sweden. He recorded 16 goals and 29 assists for 45 points. He will be back in the OHL next season.

Round 5, Pick 157: William Bundgaard, C, Rodovre

William Bungaard is a 6-foot-4 center from Denmark. He represented Denmark at the World Juniors, skating in 2 games, but didn't record a point.

Round 6, Pick 164: Melvin Novotny, LW, Leksand Jr.

The Flyers' final pick is Melvin Novotny, who played in the junior league in Sweden. He recorded 12 goals and 26 assists for 38 points last season.
