FLYERS’ DRAFT THUMBNAILS

A brief look at the players the Flyers selected in the NHL Draft, complete with age, position, height, weight and scouting report.

Round 1 (14th overall) Joel Farabee:

18, LW, 6 feet, 1 inch 161 pounds, USA-U-18, USHL. His game is marked by speed, his shot and strong two-way play.

Round 1 (19th overall) Jay O’Brien:

18, C, 5-11, 175, Thayer Academy, USHS-Prep. Registered 80 points in 30 games. His quickness gets him through traffic, strong hockey IQ.

Round 2 (50th overall) Adam Ginning:

18, D, 6-2, 196, Swedish League. Physical player compared to countryman and current Flyer rear guard Robert Hagg.

No selections.

Round 3: Round 4 (112th overall) Jack St. Ivany:

18, D, 6-1, 190, Sioux Falls, USHL. A right-shot defenseman, something Hextall said he was looking for at pre-draft press conference.

Round 5 (127th overall) Wyatte Wylie:

D, 18, 6-0, 190, Everett Silvertips, WHL. Played with Flyers’ goalie prospect Carter Hart on the Silvertips. Another right-shot, who played on the left side last season but went back to right side.

Round 5 (143rd overall) Samuel Ersson:

G, 18, 6-2, 176, Brynas, Swedish Elite League. Posted a .920 save percentage in 40 games.

Round 6 (174th overall) Gavin Hain:

C, 18, 5-11, 174, U.S. U-18 Team, USDP. Overcame a lot of adversity this past season. Looks forward to playing for the University of North Dakota (where Flyers coach Dave Hakstol used to work) in the fall.

Round 7 (190th overall): Traded to Montreal for the Canadiens’ seventh-round pick in 2019. Round 7 (205th overall) Marcus Westfalt: C/LW, 18, 6-3, 191, Brynas, SHL. Uses his size to create space for scoring.
