The Philadelphia Flyers have locked up another pick from the 2020 NHL Draft by agreeing to a three-year entry-level contract with first-rounder Tyson Foerster.
The 18-year-old right winger was the 23rd overall pick in the draft earlier this month.
"Tyson obviously has a lot of offensive gifts. He can shoot the puck tremendously well. Goal scorer. Playmaker. Great hockey sense. Really good size. He's got a lot of attributes," said GM Chuck Fletcher in a statement. "I think the good thing about Tyson was very good with self-awareness, of his strengths and the areas that he needs to improve. He's worked very hard on those areas during the pause. We expect he'll continue to develop into a pretty good player."
Foerster had 36 goals and 80 points in 62 games with the OHL's Barrie Colts last season.
The Flyers signed fourth-round pick Zayde Wisdom to an entry-level contract earlier this week.
