With the season completed for all but three of the Flyers' amateur prospects (Bernd Bruckler, Rosario Ruggeri and David Tremblay), this will be the final edition of the Weekly Prospect Statistical Update for the 2003-04 season. Updates on these players and the organization's prospects at the NHL and AHL levels will be published every Friday until the season is completed.
