Flyers' Ivan Provorov: Should easily break camp

Provorov has a very good chance of making the Opening Night roster with the Flyers, according to Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post.

Analysis:

The question is whether the 19-year-old can avoid the AHL altogether after three seasons in juniors. Provorov has scouts giddy over his hockey IQ, awareness, skating ability, and positioning from the blue line. The Russian is the complete package, and a quick glance at his WHL numbers with the Brandon Wheat Kings over the last two seasons -- 36 goals, 98 assists and plus-100 rating -- makes it easy to see why Philly selected him seventh overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. You may be able to nab Provorov late in fantasy drafts given that he has yet to be exposed to the NHL. The upside is unreal, so he should at least be highly owned in keeper formats.
