Can’t get to a TV to watch the NHL draft? Keep track of the picks as they happen and get all the latest trade rumors and breaking news right here.

On Friday, the Flyers selected Nolan Patrick, a sturdy 6-foot-2, 199-pound center whom some scouts thought was the best player in the draft, with the No. 2 overall pick.

Rounds 2 through 7 take place Saturday (a livestream will be available on NHL.com), and the Flyers have 10 picks:

Round 2: No. 13 (44 overall)
Round 3: No. 13 (75 overall) and No. 18 (80 overall)1
Round 4: No. 13 (106 overall), No. 14 (107 overall)2 and No. 15 (108 overall)3
Round 5: No. 13 (137 overall)
Round 6: No. 13 (168 overall)
Round 7: No. 10 (196 overall)4 and No. 13 (199 overall)

1 – Acquired from the Bruins in the 2015 trade that sent Zac Rinaldo to Boston.
2 – Acquired from the Lightning in the 2017 trade that sent Mark Streit to Tampa Bay and Valtteri Filppula to the Flyers.
3 – Acquired from the Islanders at the 2016 draft for a fourth-round pick last year. New York had acquired it from the San Jose Sharks.
4 – Acquired from the Lightning in the Streit-Filppula trade. Tampa Bay had acquired the pick from the Los Angeles Kings in February 2017, and in the Streit deal agreed to send the pick to Philadelphia if Streit was traded to another team. That happened almost immediately after the Flyers gave him up – and Streit went to Pittsburgh, of all places.

Got all that? Good. Now for the fun stuff.
