Flyers reportedly sign Vorobyov; Simmonds finalist for NHL award

Highly regarded center Mikhail Vorobyov has signed an entry-level contract with the Flyers, according to TVA Sports.

The Flyers might confirm the signing Wednesday.

The 6-foot-2, 198-pound Vorobyov was part of the Flyers’ excellent 2015 draft class, which also included Ivan Provorov, Travis Konecny, and promising goalie Felix Sandstrom.

Vorobyov had 11 points in 44 games in Russia’s KHL this season. He starred for Russia in the World Junior Championships, collecting 10 assists over seven games.

Vorobyov, 20, selected by the Flyers in the fourth round of the 2015 draft, will likely play for the AHL’s Phantoms next season.
