Flyers picks in rounds 2-7 of the NHL Entry Draft

The 2026 NHL Entry Draft  from Buffalo concluded on Saturday with rounds 2 through 7. Here are the remainder of the Philadelphia Flyers' selections:

Another low-range pick, in the second round (No. 53) Brek Liske, defenseman, Everett Silvertips was the choice. 

Liske completed his third season in the Western Hockey League of Canadian juniors by collecting 24 points (7G, 17A) and a plus-36 rating over 52 regular-season games. He added 17 points across 18 playoff games for the WHL champions, including the Memorial Cup, which the Silvertips lost to Kitchener of the Ontario Hockey League. A 6-foot-1, 190-pound right-handed shooter, Liske -- apparently a lifelong Flyers fan through his father -- has totaled 10 goals and 27 assists across 121 games in juniors.

With the 62nd pick (29th in 2nd round), they chose goaltender Martin Psohlavec from Karlovy Vary Jr. in his native Czechia.

In the fourth round, at pick No. 120, the Orange and Black went back into Canadian juniors to snag WHL Seattle Thunderbirds goaltender Marek Sklenicka. Only 17 years old during his first North American season, the lefty-catching native of Czechia posted a 20-12-6 record, 3.21 goals-against average, 3 shutouts and .902 save percentage over 42 regular-season appearances.

At 136 in the 5th round, the Flyers took 18-year-old Kent Sauer, a 6-foot-3, 200-plus-pound right shooting center. Sauer, whose uncle is former NHL defenseman Kurt Sauer, will skate for the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL for the upcoming season, per Elite Prospects. Sauer's final high school campaign was delayed until January due to a serious knee injury suffered at the end of his junior season. 

With their final pick on Saturday, the club dipped into the European prospect pool to select 17-year-old defenseman Max Laatikainen from Kiekko-Espoo of Finland's top professional league. A clear work-in-progress, the right-handed shooter -- diminutive compared to the pipeline at 5-foot-11 and 173 pounds -- and who was born more than a month prior to the Phillies winning the 2008 World Series, racked up 2 assists in 6 appearances.
