With the 23rd pick in the NHL Draft, the Flyers have selected forward Tyson Foerster from the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League.
In 62 games for Barrie, Foerster compiled 36 goals and 80 points in 62 games. The initial read on him seems to be that he has impressive offensive talents and a high-end shot, but has some flaws in his skating that are going to have to be sorted out if he’s going to make an impact at the NHL level.
Some scouting reports from our network, including from All About The Jersey:
Foerster’s claim to fame as a prospect is an excellent and versatile shot that allows him to score from all over the ice.
