Philadelphia Phantoms' forward Andreas Nodl is the first Austrian-born player ever drafted by the Flyers and aims to be the next Thomas Vanek, who was the only player of note from Austria in the NHL last season. "He's got unbelievable ability," Flyers' assistant Coach Craig Berube told NHL.com. "He played for us last year in the playoffs, and he was very good. It was like he played there all year. He's got great hands, good instincts, composure with the puck, great skater. He can kind of do it all. He's a solid player all-around."
