News Article: Flyers draft review

Another article from me.

Sorry this one is a slideshow... but the article is over 5000 words long, also only unique views are counted anyway.

Hope you enjoy it... I reckon it is as in depth a review on the draft and the players in it as is currently out there.

Well done!

Great write-up. If Vorobyov hits it will make the Umberger trade easier to swallow.

Thank you.

Very nice as usual, Appleyard.

It seems like Provorov would be hard to find something to say about, just due to the fact the he does everything well, and nothing jumps out at you, but I'm glad you pointed out his defensive game. It's something that you can't see looking up stats, and as it stands today, I think he's a step ahead of our other prospects in that department. I'm not saying that they won't catch up someday, but that part of his game seems really refined.

In fact, if he makes the roster this year, I think it's the reason why. You have to ask if he can really develop his defense that much further at the junior level, and if he can't, the NHL might be the best place for him.

Hate to nit-pick, but Wilkes-Barre is in eastern PA.

maybe they should count deflected shots as a stat, then you can see what players are stifling good opportunities with good body/stick positioning.

No idea why I wrote Western... slip of the mind/fingers!

Thanks to everyone who read it, it was very enjoyable to write.

Nice job, Appleyard. Arguably* your best yet.

*I think this is your favourite publication word.

Well written, thanks for sharing. It was an enjoyable read.

Too bad Hartnell's cap hit isn't looking too bad in comparison to the UFA market right now. It'll be easier to swallow that trade next year, though, when RJ can be bought out for a 1.5M cap hit for 2 seasons.

Thanks for the write-up OP.

 

[Tripod]

Good read as always.

 

[Flyotes]

Very good.

 

[Stizzle]

Thanks for this Appleyard.

Watched and taped the Brandon vs Calgary game. Provorov was a beast. I am a big Sanheim fan but Ivan really impacted the game. His goal a jaw dropper for sure. The future is bright my friends.
