Flyers’ No. 21 Swing Could Be Their Biggest Roll of the Dice

The Flyers are staring at a No. 21 pick that might not be safe, but safe is not what gets remembered in June. This is the kind of draft spot where a team can settle for a solid player or take a swing that changes the room later. The word “home-run” is doing a lot of work here, which tells you the upside is real even if the floor is not exactly comforting. If Philadelphia wants to accelerate the rebuild, this is the sort of bet that can make the whole draft board interesting.
