Flyers prospect pool ranked #1

Nolan Patrick is probably the name that first comes to mind when talking Flyers prospects, and while he may be the highlight of Philadelphia's drafting as of late, he's hardly the only prospect the team has worth getting excited about.

In fact, ESPN's Corey Pronman ranked the Flyers prospect pool atop every other team in the league.

Outside of Patrick, the Philly's AHL affiliate is stacked with budding prospects at every position. 

Lehigh Valley has the talents of Philippe Myers and Travis Sanheim on defense, left wing Oskar Lindblom, and center Mikhail Vorobyov. Add in OHL prospects Matthew Strome, Morgan Frost, along with QMJHL center German Rubtsov, and you've got yourself eight players who could viably be challenging for roster spots this upcoming season.

The Flyers even have decent goaltending prospects in Carter Hart and Felix Sandstrom.

These are the players ESPN identified as the top prospective talents for the Flyers. That list doesn't include 6'5 OHL winger Isaac Ratcliffe, defensemen Robert Hagg, Samuel Morin, NCAA forwards Tanner Lacynski and Mike Vecchione, or AHL veteran Taylor Leier.

Of all these players, who is likely to make their rookie debut next season?

Nolan Patrick is the obvious call, and Myers, Sanheim, and Lindblom could all conceivably follow him. It seems like a long shot for anyone else listed here to secure a permanent spot on the roster, but young players can impress and injuries could give them at least a temporary role with the Flyers.

Needless to say, the Philly has a ton of great young talent to sort through at every position, and that's an enviable situation to be in.

So, who are your picks to debut with the Flyers this season?
