The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired a number of prospects in the past few years who will undoubtetly have an impact on the offensive end for a team who currently ranks last on the power play. Between Matvei Michkov, Cutter Gauthier, Tyson Foerster and Joel Farabee, the offensive talent lies in the future.
One prospect to add to the list is 2021 draft pick Samu Tuomaala. After spending recent years in Finland and European leagues, Tuomaala is having an incredible year with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
Despite only being 18-years-old, Tuomaala possess some incredible offensive talent. He is most impressive on his one-on-one efforts with the puck and his abilities to make plays on his own out of nothing.
Tuomaala leads the Phantoms with 27 points in 33 games with ten goals. His most recent goal has ignited Flyers fans on twitter as Tuomaala netted a game winning goal in overtime to give him his tenth goal of the season.
It is unsure if Tuomaala will make his NHL debut this season, but if Tuomaala puts on more weight and continues to thrive in Lehigh, he could be dawning the orange and black very soon.
