It’s difficult for a forward to be taken seriously as a prospect in his draft year when he averages an uninspiring 0.60 points per game. It’s even more difficult when said forward stands only five foot eight inches tall and weighs less than 165 pounds. So it’s not a surprise that Danick Martel was ignored…

When the Flyers drafted Valeri Vasiliev in the seventh round back in 2012, they were obviously hoping that burning a low value pick would produce a potentially high reward. As Charlie detailed back in February of last year, Vasiliev was ranked fairly highly by Central Scouting before injuries and worry about his willingness to leave…
With all the talk of the Ivan Provorov’s and the Shayne Gostisbehere’s of the defense, it’s easy to forget that the Flyers have more young defensemen than just those standout names. Of course, it’s nice to tout about our top defensive prospects, but Philadelphia has more than a few under the radar defensemen that could…

Now that Zac Rinaldo is out of Philadelphia, perhaps the most intriguing member of the Flyers system is Tyrell Goulbourne. Now, that might seem like a silly thing to say, especially given that there are a number of highly skilled players that will likely be on the Flyers’ roster in the coming years. But stick…
In late January, Petr Straka made his NHL debut, replacing an ill Michael Raffl in the Philadelphia Flyers‘ lineup. It was the culmination of a long road that began in the second round of the 2010 NHL Draft, a road that briefly seemed blocked when the Columbus Blue Jackets chose not to sign Straka to…

Dave Hakstol has been with the Flyers only since May, and he’s already said that his impact in the team’s draft selection process was fairly minimal. And as we discussed yesterday with Felix Sandstrom, Ron Hextall made it clear that he wanted to restock the Flyers’ cabinet of goaltending prospects in the 2015 draft. So…
