Before writing for this esteemed website, I was fortunate enough to spend three years as an Amateur Scout covering the WHL on the West coast of the United States.  During that time, I became obsessed with predicting who might turn into what at the NHL level. Over the past 10 years, I have ranked players (based upon projection) and participated in mock drafts regularly.

Below you will find my April rankings for the top 31 prospects in this year’s draft. I update these findings weekly, but I will begin posting them here monthly. I will also be releasing Flyers specific draft strategies and targets.

Here are the top April rankings:
