Some view Phil Myers as the best player not drafted in 2015, and the Flyers may soon be reaping the benefits of the towering defenseman they signed as a free agent three years ago.
Myers is 6-foot-5, 220-pounds and has a big right-handed shot. He has a high offensive upside, but is also as a player who could be a shutdown defender.
After an injury-plagued first two months last season with the AHL’s Phantoms, Myers finished with 21 points and a plus-12 rating in 50 games. It was his first pro season.
“I’m pretty happy with the way the season went, but by all means I’m not satisfied,” Myers, 21, said after the first day of development camp Thursday in Voorhees.
