The Flyers have been one of the better drafting teams going back to the early part of the decade, and that has allowed them several advantages and kept things competitive in lieu of a true, full-on rebuild. And draft picks litter the top 10 of our Top 25 Under 25 rankings as proof, but for the next prospect on our list wasn’t even drafted: it’s Philippe Myers at No. 7.

Myers’ route to coveted prospect has been a huge coup for the Flyers, who signed the 6-foot-5 defenseman back in September of 2015.
