*Finally, after what feels like an whole year of speculations and mocks and rankings, it’s finally NHL Entry Draft Day! Whomst will the Flyers choose? Who can say! Might they take some big boys to address their lack of size? [BSH]

*Or might Danny Briere take a look in the mirror and think that the best way forward is talented small guys? [BSH]

*We learned yesterday that Porter Martone met with the Flyers after the combine. If he’s still there at six maybe he’s their guy. [Inquirer]

*But Martone isn’t a center. Jake O’Brien? He’s a center! [Inquirer]

*The sixth overall pick has been talked to death, so how about those later rounds? If you’re a subscriber over at Charlie’s website, Alex Appleyard has some thoughts about who might be a steal for the Flyers on day two. [PHLY]

*Historically, the Flyers have done well in round two. Some duds in there too, though. [BSH]

*A lot of teams have been shying away from Russian players over the last couple of years, for obvious reasons. But not the Flyers! There are a few pretty solid players they may want to target on day two to take advantage of this. [BSH]

*There are always surprises on Draft Day, and it’ll be fun to see what happens this year. [Sportsnet]

*Anyhoo, if you’ve not as fully immersed in all of this stuff here’s a full guide to help you follow along with the Flyers tonight and tomorrow. [NBC Sports Philly]

*Outside of draft stuff, we got a little update on the Cam York situation yesterday. [BSH]

*The Insiders™ are hearing all kinds of stuff about the Flyers’ approach to this offseason, it seems. [The Athletic]

*And finally, on Trevor Zegras, and why Danny Briere’s latest big splashy move tells us everything we need to know about where we are in the rebuild. [BSH]
