Springfield Falcons

Insider's Edge:

Igor Knyazev is a good all around player and a highly touted prospect with great international credentials.

Despite his low numbers [2g, 5a] at Lowell last season, scouts do see potential in his offensive game.

If Knyazev can solidify his defense and start contributing offensively, our sources think he will be an everyday player in the NHL.

Insider's Edge:


Jeff Woywitka is a highly regarded defenseman in the Flyers’ organization.

He is coming off a celebrated junior hockey career where he put up huge offensive numbers with 52 points in 57 games last season.

Our sources say if Jeff can make a quick adjustment to the pro game, he has a strong shot at cracking the Flyers’ roster this year.
