Philadelphia Flyers NHL Draft Preview: Zeev Buium, Carter Yakemchuk & the Defense Prospects

It’s D-Day! As the march towards next month’s NHL Entry Draft continues, we’re breaking down the defensemen on today’s show.
Cam York and Travis Sanheim both had breakout seasons for the Flyers, while Jamie Drysdale, Emil Andrae and others still have the shine of promise and potential. But there are no #1 defensemen on Philly’s current roster, and the 2024 draft has a lot of high-end D prospects.
Charlie & Bill discuss which blueliners might be available for the Flyers at 12, as well as with the other three (maybe) top-51 picks.

Ronaldo's skating aloud for him to check/throw body checks. I am glad you guys are providing up to date news each day. Yamenchuk is a nasty Defenseman, has an edge to his game.

[@willcc5074]

Yakemchuk seems like a stretch to me if you are looking for a top pair d-man. Big guy with good hands and a big slap shot. BUT he's slow and makes bad decisions. Seems like those negatives are huge and he probably will slot in as your 4th or 5th defenseman. I'd much rather see them take a skilled forward with the 12th pick.

Yakemchuck is literally the same thing that risto was as a prospect, please not him
