History
The Flyers will likely face some tough decisions this summer when it comes to whether or not to sign players whose rights they will otherwise lose. Pisellini is one such player, along with fellow 2004 draftees Ladislav Scurko, Freddy Cabana and David Laliberte. Each of these players must be signed prior to the 2006 Entry Draft in Vancouver.
Otherwise, they will no longer be Flyers property and will be free to re-enter the draft. Scurko and Cabana look to be solid bets to earn contracts, although there are no guarantees.
The Itasca, IL native has enjoyed a very solid, albeit unspectacular, third season of play for the Plymouth Whalers in the OHL. A bruising forward who is relied upon more for his leadership ability, toughness and competent two-way play that he is for offense, Pisellini has recorded 31 points (15 goals, 16 assists), a +2 rating and 194 PIMs in 63 games this season.

2006-07: Pisellini notched 118 total PIMs in only 55 games split between the Phantoms and the Trenton Titans of the ECHL.
Talent Analysis
Pisellini is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of player, another �character guy� in the true Flyers mold.
Future
Whether or not Pisellini possesses the skill level and ability to play at the NHL remains to be seen, but he has shown gradual signs of progression as an all-around player as a junior and has proven to be a coachable commodity.
