92) Rob Bellamy - 7 points in 28 games the year before, 5 points in 13 games so far this season. I tried looking for what type of player he's supposed to be, but haven't found one. Needless to say, his offensive numbers are absolutely brutal. A complete waste of a pick at 92. There were much better players available. Way down the list he goes.
101) Michael "RJ" Anderson - 13 games 0 points at the University of Minnesota so far this year. Compared favorably to Jordan Leopold. He was Minnesota High School Hockey Player of the Year, but hasn't been able to transition his success from High School to the NCAA. Will wait another year to see if he shows any inkling of an offensive game. As of right now, down the list he goes.
124) David Laiberte - Just can't keep healthy. Expected to be a goal scorer throughout his junior hockey career. Right now, it's a bad back that's keeping him out of games. Another player down the list, not because of ability, but because of injury.
144) Chris Zarb - Lanky defenseman (6'4, 185 pounds) currently playing at Ferris State University. 5 points in 13 games. Considered an offensive defenseman. Could use some much needed weight on his frame. Nothing to brag or write home about. Doesn't move up the list, but doesn't move down either.
149) Gino Pisellini - A goon. Nothing more, nothing less. Will chip in with the odd goal here and there. A waste of a pick. Could have probably been signed as an undrafted free agent. Down the list.
170) Ladislav Scurko - A decent hockey player playing in Seattle in the WHL. Had 43 points in his rookie year and played great solid two way hockey. Averaging .8ppg in the WHL. Will probably move to the wing once he starts his pro career. Could surprise everyone and develop into a great checking winger with good two way ability. Up the list he goes.
171) Frederik Cabana - The Darcy Tucker of the QMJHL. A pest on skates. He can really move and really annoy. There is some offense to his game, but consider him more like a Ken Linseman type of player. Not afraid to do some dirty and is willing to back it up. He's gonna be a real good one. A steal of a pick at 171. Definitely moves up the list.
232) Martin Houle - A real feel good story here. A little guy playing nets in the Quebec league. Moved on to the Flyers system and is currently in Philadelphia backing up Jamie Storr. Martin's numbers have been superb so far. In 7 games with the Trenton Titans of the ECHL, he posted a GAA of 2.10 and SP of .935. In 6 games with the Philadelphia Phantoms of the AHL, he posted a GAA of 1.83 and SP of .930. An athletic goalie who plays a butterfly style with some acrobatics and athletics mixed in. Could very much be the goalie of the future in Philadelphia. No need to rush him along. Has definitely improved his stock since his draft day. Up the list he goes.
253) Travis Gawryletz - A potentially huge steal here. Drafted out of the BCJHL, Travis was just beginning to put together an offensive game. Now playing in the NCAA at the University of Minnesota - Duluth, Travis now has enough time to really sharpen his offensive skills. His defensive game will never be questioned. In his freshman year, Travis put up 5 points in 35 games, an average of .143 points per game. In 15 games so far this year, Travis has 5 points again, an average of .334 points per game. Travis also has good size, coming in at 6feet 2inches tall and 200 pounds. He can put some more weight on his frame, probably topping out at about 210, 215 pounds. He's going to be a gamer and there's no rush to move him along. Definitely up the list Travis goes.
286) Triston Grant - Supposedly there's a hockey player underneath that goon exterior somewhere, but someone has to find it first. He's only good at using his fists, that's it. Because he played on a line with Gilbert Brule and scored 20 goals, he's supposed to be a hockey player. I guess the same thing was said about Matthew Barnaby and playing on a line with Alexander Daigle in Victoriaville. We all know what kind of player Barnaby turned out to be. 3 points in 25 games with 54 penalty minutes on the Philadelphia Phantoms hockey club in the AHL. Expect nothing more than a Donald Brashear clone in Grant. Once again, another player who probably could have been signed as an undrafted free agent. Down the list he goes.
291) John Carter - Mr. Irrelevant. Last pick of the draft. Played in the USHL for Des Moines. However, finding any information on where he is now has been next to impossible. I tried doing multiple searches and it's like he disappeared off the face of the ice. Did not hurt the team any by choosing as there was some upside to his game. Not even the Des Moines Buccaneer web page lists any information for John Carter under their Alumni page. I guess he's dropped off the face of the earth.
There are some players who could possibly make the Flyers roster in the future. Out of all the players drafted by the Flyers in 2004, Martin Houle and Freddy Cabana are probably as close to sure fire bets to be Flyers in the future.
