Carter Sotheran Facts

Drafted: 2023 round 5 #135 overall by Philadelphia Flyers
Agency: Premium

A transition ace, Sotheran consistently creates favourable situations up the rink with patience and skill on the breakout. The anticipation and feel for the game appear on the side of the puck, too. He angles opponents, forcing them wide before going for the puck. And when he recovers possession, he instantly makes the best pass to start the counterattack. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
