After a wild — but not wholly unexpected — unfolding of events through the first round, we’re right back at it again today for the final six rounds of the draft. The Flyers picked up a bit more ammunition for themselves last night, and that opens the door for things to get a little bit more interesting around here, and we’ll see soon what they end up getting up to.
