Maksim Sokolovskii WORTH The Risk At #21 For Flyers In NHL Draft? Mean Defenseman | Prospect Profile
Jun 2500:03:55Tap to summarizeCould 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? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Transcribe →Is Elton Hermansson "TOO TALENTED" For Flyers To Pass Up At 2026 NHL Draft? | Prospect Profile
Jun 2000:02:11Tap to summarizeElton Hermansson is one of the most intriguing prospects available in the 2026 NHL Draft class. Charlie O'Connor of the PHLY Flyers Podcast breaks down the skilled Swedish winger's game in his latest prospect profile, as Hermansson has climbed draft boards thanks to his elite puck skills, offensive creativity, smooth skating, and standout performances against professional competition in Sweden.

Could the Philadelphia Flyers target Hermansson if he's available when they're on the clock? With his combination of scoring ability, transition play, and top-six offensive potential, he could be exactly the type of high-upside forward the Flyers' rebuild needs. Some evaluators view him as a potential boom-or-bust prospect, while others see a future NHL top-six winger. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
