Who would have thought that the goaltending position would be a strength throughout the Flyers organization in the year 2019? That is exactly what has transpired. Thanks to brilliant drafting by former General Manager Ron Hextall, and Chuck Fletcher’s late-round steal of Roddy Ross this past draft. The goaltending problems that have haunted this proud organization for many years may just be a thing of the past. Look at the crazy good young goaltenders that the Flyers have behind Carter Hart. There is Felix Sandstrom, Kirill Usitmenko, Roddy Ross, and this Swedish stud, Samuel Ersson.
Ersson was masterful in his final season for Vasteras IK in the Allsvenskan League, in Sweden.
