Voracek (8.0a/8.0a): With the puck on his stick Jake is actually the best player on the team. When he lines up with Giroux magic happens on the ice. There is not a whole lot else to say about him, he lets his dangles do the talking.
Simmonds (7.5a/8.0a): There is a reason they call him the Wayne train, he’s a slick sniper who can score from just about anywhere on the ice. He’s also a man, blue collar, old school hockey style player.
Read (6.5a/7.0a): Read is the best skater on the team not named Claude Giroux. Because of that he can make use of his otherwise average puck skills and is a versatile forward for the Orange and the Black.
Raffl (6.0a/6.5a): With the Top Nine being as crowded as it is Raffl will have to make a name for himself on the 4th line as he hopes to build his skills and work at becoming a better all-around hockey player.
Akeson (6.0a/6.5a): Jason is a one dimensional forward who is playing for the chance to be the Flyer’s as an injury replacement.
Straka (5.5a/7.0a): While he is not yet ready for the NHL, his skills are close and he will continue to work on them in hopes of cracking the lineup in the future. Has potential to be special.
AHLers
Alderson (5.0a/6.0a),
Mathers (5.5a/6.5a), and
Rosehill (6.0a/6.0a) will not be joining the big club any time soon.
NCAA talents
Parks (4.5e/6.0e), and
Placek (4.0e/6.5e) were smart to choose college as a future in professional hockey will be unlikely at best.
