The former first-round pick of the Flyers, Jay O'Brien, was not resigned by the team on Tuesday night, therefore the Flyers no longer possess his rights and he is now a free agent.
The Philadelphia Flyers will receive a 2024 second-round pick as payment for Jay O'Brien not being signed before his rights expired (August 15). The Flyers organization had a poor run of first-round picks, spanning from German Rubtsov, who appeared in only four games, to Nolan Patrick, who was jinxed with issues from the start, just like O'Brien did. O'Brien, 23, has had a lot of trouble with his performance and injuries, and he hasn't been able to live up to his draft status. The Flyers, however, are in a rebuild so they won't be able to complain about a second-round pick, even if it means sacrificing a potential. With that,�let's glance at the Flyers' existing draft picks for the upcoming 2024 NHL Draft.�
The orange and black will now have a total of four draft choices in the initial first�two rounds given that the compensatory pick is included.

Considering that they obtained a top-10 protected selection from the Florida Panthers in a trade including
Claude Giroux and
Owen Tippett a year ago, the Flyers should not have any trouble acquiring a high draft pick this year. Additionally, the Flyers lost two significant contributors,
Kevin Hayes &
Ivan Provorov, which might lead to the team falling�into the bottom six this coming season. Something that is to be anticipated for a team that is nevertheless in the process of rebuilding. They will not be any lower considering John Tortorella and Danny Briere believe that tanking is unprofessional and inefficient the majority of the time.
At the moment, the orange and black have a pair of selections in each of the first, second, and sixth rounds, and at least one pick in each of the seven rounds. The NHL Draft in 2024 is a little smaller in scale than the one before, with five of the top 10 prospects in 2024 being defensemen, which suggests it will be�defensive-heavy.�Therefore, the Flyers might have greater options assuming they have two picks near each other. Boosting the defensive assets within the club is very important, especially on the�right�side.
Due to former general manager Ron Hextall's poor selection of Jay O'Brien in the�2018�draft,�Danny Briere will be granted a pick and�hopes to steer clear of past�mistakes and draft�more exceptional prospects into the Flyers organization.�
