To lead off their Day 2 work at the 2024 NHL draft Saturday, the Flyers selected Jack Berglund, a 6-foot-4 Swedish center.
The Flyers had the 51st overall pick as compensation for not signing 2018 first-round selection Jay O’Brien.
Berglund, a 210-pounder who can play on the wing, as well, had 34 points (15 goals, 19 assists) over 41 games this season for Farjestad BK in Sweden’s top junior league.
At the 2024 IIHF U-18 World Junior Championship a month and a half ago, Berglund had five points (two, three assists) in seven games for a Sweden team that won bronze.
