Different NHL organizations have slightly different ways for assessing and rating players for the first round of the NHL Draft.

Brière and assistant GM Brent Flahr talked about the team's plans for the draft, when the Flyers will be loaded with picks. Could trades be on the horizon?

But after that, the next half-dozen or so players all have comparable levels of skill, according to Briere, so the Flyers will add a high-end prospect, even though they ended up with a lower draft position than they had hoped for when the regular season concluded on April 17.
