The team's prospect pool had a significant decline during the Ron Hextall era, dropping from being ranked #1 in 2017 to #19 in 2022.
However, the addition of these new prospects has brought about a vast improvement. In fact, Matvei Michkov was recently ranked #2 in the top 15 prospects by The Athletic's Scott Wheeler, and the NHL Network ranked the Flyers' current pool as 9th in the league.
As a result of Briere's drafting skills, the team now has a replenished goalie depth with three honorable mentions on Wheeler's top goal-tender prospect list - Carson Bjarnason, Samuel Ersson, and Alexei Kosolov. Overall, the Briere era in Philadelphia is looking very promising!
