Philadelphia Flyers: Top 5 Prospects In The 2016 NHL Draft

The upcoming NHL draft is could be a good one for the Philadelphia Flyers.

This is one draft that I am personally very excited for. This is a draft that has a plethora of young and talented forwards that the Philadelphia Flyers can most certainly use.

When you look at the Philadelphia Flyers prospects, your eyes immediately jump to their talented defensive prospects, which is something the Flyers haven’t had in a very long time. This is one area that the Flyers are definitely stocked up on.

Next your eyes will probably pan out towards the goalies. Philadelphia Flyers GM, Ron Hextall did a fantastic job at the 2015 NHL draft to ensure that the Flyers will have some solid goalie depth to go along with the blue line.

But, the one area in which the Flyers are seriously lacking, are skilled top six forwards. Well the good news is that the 2016 NHL draft class is absolutely filled with offensive talent that the Flyers must take advantage of.

Let’s take a look at the top 10 ranked prospects going into the 2016 NHL draft. It’s never too early to do that right? Also keep in mind that these rankings come from TSN analyst Bob McKenzie and Craig Button.
