Flyers Top 25 Under 25: KHL defenseman Valeri Vasiliev feels like NHL long shot

A relatively highly touted prospect who slipped to the Flyers late in the 2012 draft, has Valeri Vasiliev progressed since we last checked in?

When the Flyers drafted Valeri Vasiliev in the seventh round back in 2012, they were obviously hoping that burning a low value pick would produce a potentially high reward.

As Charlie detailed back in February of last year, Vasiliev was ranked fairly highly by Central Scouting before injuries and worry about his willingness to leave Russia had him drop into the Flyers' lap in the last round of the draft.
