This was pretty much expected, but Ryan Potulny signed with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Potulny was recently bumped from 7th to 4th on hockeysfuture.com's list of top 20 Flyers prospects, but his profile contained this quote:"While scouts still seem split on exactly how well Potulny’s game will translate at the pro level, his emergence as one of the premiere offensive weapons in the NCAA has undoubtedly increased his overall stock"
That about sums it up with Potulny. I don't think he'll ever be a huge threat 5-on-5, but he may be able to carve out a solid niche as a dangerous guy on the powerplay.
