As the Philadelphia Flyers prospects summer activities wrap-up, here’s some comparisons to take away on how Flyers prospects compare to known NHL players

In this day and age, it’s not too difficult to find scouting reports on many prospects. You can usually find some internet clips or highlight reels of these players. That is fantastic, and allows blogs like this one to exist.

All that information, however, can be just as confusing as illuminating. Furthermore, looking at talent analysis you will often see the same basic descriptors used over and over again. There’s nothing like comparing prospects to known NHL quantities. Every player is different, but a good player comparison often provides a better (and more digestable) snapshot of a player than a 500-word scouting report.

Here I’ll to take a crack and finding comparables for top Philadelphia Flyers prospects. It’s not to say this prospect will turn into the second coming of this NHL player, or be as good. I do hope, however, that it provides a model of the type of NHL player each Flyers prospects could be one day.
