A few years ago we might be having a different discussion about Felix Sandstrom and his expectations going forward. When he debuted on this 25 Under 25 series back in 2015, his competition in the Flyers’ system basically came down to Anthony Stolarz and Merrick Madsen. The former was struggling in his first year in the NHL, and the latter was a freshman at Harvard with one game under his belt.
Along with Sandstrom’s goalie draft class mates Matej Tomek and Ivan Fedotov, the Flyers have gone and added Carter Hart, Alex Lyon, and this year’s 3rd round draft pick Kirill Ustimenko.
