The Philadelphia Flyers announced they have signed prospect Carsen Twarynski to a three-year entry-level contract Sunday. The winger was the team’s third-round pick in the 2016 draft.
Twarynski had a breakout year this season with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL after two average seasons the previous two years. After combining to post 37 goals in his previous two seasons combined, the 20-year-old has really stepped up, potting 43 goals this season as well as adding a career-high 27 assists and 81 penalty minutes.
At 6-foot-2, 198 pounds, Twarynski is a big winger with both speed and physicality that aids him on the ice. A solid defender and passer, who has improved immensely on the offensive end, he provides the Flyers with yet another solid prospect that they can look forward to seeing in the next few years. He projects as a bottom-six forward at the NHL level, according to The Athletic’s Alexander Appleyard.
