Prospect Info: Round 1, Pick 23: Tyson Foerster, RW, Barrie (OHL)

[BernieParent]

Dear Tyson and Mr. and Mrs. Foerster,

Please excuse our protracted discussion about the cannibalistic tendencies of domesticated fowl and pretty much everything else in this thread except for our appreciation of having you / your son as a member of the Flyers organization. 45 years without a Stanley Cup has rendered us all a bit ADHD. As we continue our road to full recovery, God willing, please be patient with our rambling and oftentimes profane infighting. We do like hockey. We have the analytics to prove it!

With much affection,

Flyers HF Boards

But.... They're chickens. They're supposed to be innocent creatures. I'm sad now.

If they were innocent then people wouldn’t choke them so often.

I’m sorry. This wasn’t even funny. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.

@Starat327, if you need any help or medical visual aids for "the talk" just let me know.

You just lost your juice box privileges young man.

I thought I had a few years still but apparently not. Kids these days...right?

 

[Flyers1987]

Tyson's release and shot reminds me a little of Brendan Shanahan.

 

[KrazyKat]

How long term of a project is he? Is he someone who could replace Voracek in say 2 years?

 

[Flyers1987]

I would think at least 2 years to develop. Probably 3 years. Really working hard on skating. The kids shot is lethal in the OHL. Whether that translates to the NHL is the question. Like to see him get stronger and more net front battles.

 

[Magua]

Replace Voracek? I couldn’t think of a player who is more the opposite of Voracek.

Joke's on you. Haggar is a safe reliable and dependable defenseman.


Wait a minute...
You clearly have insider info that Haggar is switching over to a top 6 forward spot next season. Noooooooooo

I think he meant replace Voracek and his muffin on the PP of course.

What does Tyson project to be at the nhl level after his season last year?

What does Tyson project to be at the nhl level after his season last year?

Think it's too early, this season, if he can stay in the AHL, will give a much better picture.
However, the fact that both Foerster and Wisdom put up > 0.40 pp/60 at ES, although a SSS, is awfully promising, given they were both 18 in a man's league.

 

[Rebels57]

What does Tyson project to be at the nhl level after his season last year?

With his ability to find open ice, hit shot, and his improved skating, I can see a few 25-30 goal 50 point seasons from him. Maybe some who watched more full games would have a different take though.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

Foerster is the Flyers’ best prospect pure goal scorer as of now and could very well be a 40 + in the NHL!
Looks could be deceiving but to me he reminds me of a young Stamkos…

 

[FLYguy3911]

oh boy

 

[Beef Invictus]

What does Tyson project to be at the nhl level after his season last year?

Once he really gets into the Flyers Development Grinder, a bust.

 

[BritainStix]

Personally I see a lot more Ovechkin or Bossy in him. Perenial 70 goal contender.

 

[macleish1974]

Screw 70 goals..I forecast breaking Grets record of 92......
Every year unto he is 47 years old.

Sure... an ounce bag for 5 bucks...

 

[Garbage Goal]

I predict he’ll be a moderately effective top six winger that’ll underachieve and be traded for someone marginally worse in every way.
