History
Much like his teammate Pierre-Paul Lamoureux, John Flatters makes his presence known with his physical play and with his fists if necessary. The 6'2 203 lbs Calgary product appeared in 53 games with Red Deer and notched just two points but had 117 minutes in penalties to go with them. Flatters played a lot in games where the tone shifted towards the violent and hard hitting end of the spectrum, especially down the stretch as the Rebels jockeyed for playoff seeding.
Flatters is another player who will help fill the hole left when Dion Phaneuf turns pro next year, especially when it comes to the area of toughness and defending his teammates.
Talent Analysis
Scout #1: He's tougher than Lamoureux. He's more raw but he likes to hit, he goes out of his way to hit sometimes which gets him in trouble with the coach. He plays a physical type of game. He's mistake prone but I still like him as a late rounder.
Scout #2: Like Lamoureux, always likes to play hard and physical in the corners or in front of his own net. His skating needs to improve too but this is a guy who comes to play every night and will win battles for you.
