A new fan favorite in the making?

Anthony DiMarco, NHL correspondent for the fourth period and the brotherly pod, recently mentioned Zayde Wisdom as a guy Flyers fans should really be looking forwards to having on their team.

Wisdom was a 2020 fourth rounder picked 94 overall and plays in the OHL with the Kingston Frontenacs. He has 41 points in 43 games this season.


According to the Inquirer he had a difficult childhood, overcame poverty and made it as an NHL draftee. In his short stint with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, he had 7 goals 11 assists in 28 games as an eighteen year-old.

Quoting from an interview Wisdom did with the Whig, his rough past was due to the neighbourhood he grew up in.


Sometimes, he and his family resorted to food banks where the lights or heaters wouldn't turn on.

Despite all this, Wisdom and his family perceived. I highly recommend reading up on this bright young fellow.

Could he be the next Wayne Simmonds, power forward type?
