As part of the build-up to the first-round playoff series between the Capitals and the Flyers, Japers' Rink will be looking at some of the important but perhaps lesser-known players on the Flyers and how they might impact the series.
| Assets | Is a low-maintenance defender who can log huge minutes if need be. Displays plenty of grit for the blueline position. Plays with poise. Always gives his all and leads by example. |
| Flaws | Lacks the physicality to punish offensive forwards. Doesn't play with a lot of confidence in the offensive zone at the National Hockey League level, and is a limited talent overall. |
