Flyers use sixth-round pick on Russian winger at 2024 NHL draft

With their sixth-round pick in the 2024 NHL draft Saturday, the Flyers grabbed winger Ilya Pautov.

At the Russian junior level, the 18-year-old put up 45 points (15 goals, 30 assists) and a plus-6 rating in 46 games this season for the MHL's Krasnaya Armiya Moskva.

The Flyers took Pautov at 173rd overall. They also had the 177th overall pick but moved it in the package to grab Finnish center Heikki Ruohonen during the fourth round.

The 5-foot-11, 167-pound Pautov was the 73rd-ranked European skater by NHL Central Scouting. He was one of two wingers the Flyers selected in the draft. They grabbed Noah Powell in the fifth round.
