While the Philadelphia Flyers’ pipeline has improved by leaps and bounds under general manager Ron Hextall, it’s a simple fact that not every prospect is going to pan out.
Hextall has shown a knack for unearthing late round gems, such as the recently-signed Oskar Lindblom, who was selected in round five of the 2014 NHL Draft. Prospects like Mikhail Vorobyov and Tanner Laczynski have also showcased legitimate potential, despite going unselected in the first three rounds of their drafts. However, every team is going to have their swings and misses, and today, the Flyers confirmed that forward Samuel Dove-McFalls can be placed in that bucket, at least in this organization.
