EDGE Analysis

Patrick was the NHL's No. 2 overall draft selection by the Flyers in June and coach Dave Hakstol heaped some praise on the rookie following the session, saying "I thought they both looked like they belonged today." The Flyers' lines should sort themselves out further as camp progresses, but Patrick possesses the pedigree of a potential instant impact player after accumulating 46 points over 33 games in junior hockey last season.
