Tyson Foerster

Foerster was one of four rookies to reach the 20-goal mark in 2023-24. In 77 games with the Flyers last season, he produced 20 tallies, 13 assists, 167 shots on net and 101 hits. Foerster had a sluggish start and cold finish to the year, but there is reason to believe he can improve in 2024-25. He generated 15 goals, 84 shots and nine helpers during a 37-game span from Nov. 28-March 2. He will likely remain in Philadelphia's top six in 2024-25, though his power-play role might be reduced because of the arrival of highly touted rookie Matvei Michkov. The 22-year-old Foerster could reach the 40-point mark in the upcoming season if his consistency improves.

While it was just a cup of coffee in the 2022-23 season, Foerster impressed with seven points in his first eight games. He likely would have seen more NHL time if he hadn't undergone shoulder surgery last fall, but he'll have a great chance of breaking camp with the Flyers in 2023-24. Obviously, the 21-year-old winger is unlikely to challenge for a point-per-game pace, but he's on a team that lacks an established star on offense, which could give him an opportunity to see top-six minutes. Head coach John Tortorella will expect steady defense as well as offense from Foerster, so it's also very possible the young winger will need more time at AHL Lehigh Valley. Keep an eye on Foerster's usage during training camp. If he appears locked into a roster spot for the Flyers, his upside will rise considerably.
