Daily News | Ranking the Flyers’ top 5 prospects after the 2023 NHL draft
. To qualify for our list, players have to be 24 years old or younger as of opening night and have played fewer than 50 NHL games — that means the likes of York and Noah Cates are no longer eligible. Part one of this two-part series will look at prospects ranked Nos. 1-5, while part two will examine Nos. 6-10.For the second straight year, the Flyers have a new No. 1 prospect. Michkov, the No. 7 overall pick in the draft in June, jumps ahead of Gauthier, the No. 5 pick in 2022.
The rising sophomore is more than just a high-volume shooter and goal scorer. He possesses good size at 6-2, and 189 pounds, and uses it to his advantage. Gauthier plays a competitive brand of hockey, is generally pretty responsible defensively, and has embraced playing downhill and getting to the middle of the ice as a power forward. He’s not afraid to throw a big hit and seems to relish the physical parts of the game.
Foerster scored 20 goals and put up 48 points in 66 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, earning All-Star honors and being recognized on the league’s six-player, All-Prospect team. While he’s always been equipped with a lethal shoot, other areas of Foerster’s game evolved last season. His skating will never be a strength, but it has come on a ways, as has his willingness to play bigger and be more engaged with his 6-2, 194-pound frame.
With his size , impressive post-to-post quickness, quiet confidence, and the mental makeup to quickly move past mistakes, Ersson has a lot of the attributes teams covet in goalies. He might be young and inexperienced, but the organization seems to believe Ersson has future No. 1 potential.
