With the World Junior Championship coming to an end with the medal round kicking off at 4pm EST. We noticed some of the key Flyer prospects. They all have played at an incredible level and have shown a lot of promise. That being said, how will these players do in an NHL game? Can they really continue to play that well? Let's dive into some of the key prospects we saw thus far. Starting with the obvious one. Tyson Foerster.
Tyson Foerster-Team Canada-RW
What more can be said? Foerster has played at an incredible level. A player who has been hit with the injury big for a few seasons but continues to show promise with every chance he gets. A proven sniper and game changer already, but... in the WJC. We haven't seen much of him in the NHL to really know what can be done. Can he still produce like he has shown? Is he the top 6 player that everyone says? I believe he has incredible upside, more than most, but let's see him play 25 games with the Flyers. Tyson Foerster should be competing for a roster spot. Does he get one?

It would not surprise me one bit if Tyson Foerster wins a job out of camp with the @NHLFlyers. This young man is confident
"You are always coming here and trying to make the big squad. That's what I'm trying to do." - Tyson Foerster said at Developmental Camp https://t.co/SCvYIVAMyw� Jamey Baskow (@JameyBaskow) August 19, 2022
Emil Andrae- Team Sweden-D
The captain of Team Sweden Email Andrae has also played at a high level. Showing great defense and puck mobility. He has been Sweden's best player, and, arguably, the best defenseman in the tournament to this point.
Andrae leads all defensemen in goals and points and is tied for third among all players in goals and fifth in points.
Cam York and Emil Andrae
York looked excellent going into the draft. Hasn't taken another step forward but hasn't dropped back either. Remains promising.
Andrae really took off in his D2 season. 99th percentile D2 equivalency. https://t.co/NiM6UkZYQm pic.twitter.com/bamg910ByJ� Byron Bader (@ByronMBader) August 16, 2022
He has been Sweden's best player, and, arguably, the best defenseman in the tournament to this point. The 20-year-old leads all defensemen in goals and points and is tied for third among all players in goals and fifth in points. Thats being said, his size. He is a bit on the smaller size? Will that effect his ability to play at the big-league level?
Emil will not be NHL ready this season, but how quick does he make a debut?
