If our friends at CapFriendly are correct, Columbus was suppose to decide which pick they were sending by the end of the first round.
Has anyone heard anything about this?

Well you will see on draft day.
I would assume it will be 2025.
They don’t have to make that decision until June 28th. I wouldn’t expect to hear anything one way or the other until that point.
That said, it’s the 36th pick in the draft. Next year’s pick is an unknown commodity, but there’s a much greater likelihood that it’s later in the second round than it being 36th or better. From that standpoint, it makes sense to hang onto this year’s.
The counter-argument is that people generally seem to assume next year’s draft is deeper, so even if the pick is a bit worse than 36th overall, it might be a more valuable piece than this year’s. But that scenario still has a lot of unknowns and GMs tend to want to know what they’re getting.
They have to inform the Flyers by the end of the first round of the draft. Most likely will be sending us the 2nd in 2025 though
After the first round OF THE DRAFT
They were so bad this year I’d imagine it will be 2025.
