Philadelphia Flyers: Offseason Draft Preview

Since I already covered some players to target come free agency, I am left to take a look at some upcoming draft eligible talent that I feel would greatly improve the Philadelphia Flyers organization. First, we must take a look at the strengths and weaknesses within the organization.

Centres

General Observation:

The depth at centre starts off very strong but vanishes quickly.
