PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

The Philadelphia Flyers made the controversial decision to select Maksim Sokolovskii with the 27th overall pick in the first round, after trading down with the San Jose Sharks from 21st overall. Now, with more draft capital on day two, including two picks in each of the second and fourth rounds, Danny Briere is tasked with filling out the rest of the draft class, and potentially making adds for the 2026-27 season as well.

Charlie & Bill discuss the draft and Flyers offseason with assistant coach Todd Reirden, Jim Jackson, Adam Kimelman, Alex Appleyard and more! Plus, conversations on the Zach Werenski rumors, the Blues trading two first round picks for Mason McTavish, and all the news around the NHL.

Could the Philadelphia Flyers take a chance on one of the most intimidating defense prospects in the 2026 NHL Draft? 

In this prospect profile, Charlie O'Connor of the PHLY Flyers Podcast breaks down Maksim Sokolovskii, the massive 6'8", 238-pound blueliner from the London Knights who has quickly become one of the draft's biggest wild cards. Known for his physical play, long reach, and punishing hits, Sokolovskii offers the type of size and shutdown potential NHL teams covet. But does his upside justify using the Flyers' No. 21 overall pick on such a raw prospect? 

With recent mock drafts linking Philadelphia to the towering defenseman, the debate is heating up: is Maksim Sokolovskii worth the gamble at No. 21?
