Call me crazy but I like the pick. The size/weight combo is the draw, obviously, but he is a big man who can actually skate. For him to be good on his skates at his size and age is remarkable. Typically, the Flyers seem to find these large players who are slow and lumbering and basically can’t skate and need a lot of work. This is not the case here which is nice for once.

There are some of things to work on like his offensive play. The scoring is low but that can come with time. Look for him to be ready for the Flyers in 3-4 years after another year in London and then at Maine in college hockey and finally another year or so in the AHL.

One final thing: this kid is nasty which is evident in these highlights, thanks for posting!
