Daily News | NHL draft: Center Oliver Moore would fit the Flyers’ need for speed
, to discuss Moore and his potential fit on the Flyers in the fifth of a six-part series evaluating who the Flyers could select at No. 7., including his explosive burst and his ability to get behind opposing defenses. He’s capable of leveraging his speed on defense, applying back pressure and getting in on the forecheck quickly.
“He’s not a huge guy,” Peters said. “So we’ve got another player that’s not the biggest player, but he really improved his physical makeup that allowed him to be a better defender. He’s an excellent penalty killer. He’s very smart with his decisions.”According to Peters, Moore’s brain and hands are still catching up with his feet. Moore uses his speed all over the ice, but he’s still learning how to control his strongest asset and figure out when to use it.
“If those improve to a certain level, you’ve got a potentially massive threat, both offensively and at the other end of the ice, because he is so fast,” Peters said.
