Despite some rumors, the Flyers could potentially part with the 23rd overall pick, they indeed made their selection on Friday night. They drafted forward Tyson Foerster from the Barrie Colts. There was a lot of offensive talent on the board when it was Philadelphia’s turn to draft and they took a potential sniper.
Foerster took one of the biggest leaps in the draft with his breakout season in the OHL for the Barrie Colts. He was by far the leading scorer on his team and has what appears to be a lethal shot, something the Flyers have been looking for.
