    [...] Kevin Marshall: The kid has apparently impressed a lot of people and as well he should. Like Giroux he won a QMJHL championship as a leader on the Lewistown MAINEiacs. Taken in the 2nd round of 2007 he could very easily jump up to the Flyers’ roster before 2nd overall selection James van Riemsdyk does. He’s a shutdown defender like Parent, but unlikely the young kid already making waves with the orange and black Marshall possesses at least some offensive abilities. He’s never going to be a true powerplay quarterback or anything like that, but he has a mean streak and a wicked shot. With Sbisa gone he’s one of the few blueliners within the organization who are not afraid to take runs at people along with obviously Chris Pronger, Braydon Coburn on a rare night when he feels like playing mean, and Marc-Andre Bourdon, who was taken last season in the 2nd round. Honestly he reminds me a lot of Ryan Parent going into training camp last season. If not for a nasty injury in preseason last year Parent would’ve been on the team at the onset of the 2008-09 season after a great postseason in 2007-08 and a great offseason. Marshall is certainly opening some eyes as a kid who played all four years in the Canadian Juniors. If he’s not on the team at the start of the year I’m confident you will see him at points during the season. It’s all a matter of how the organization feels about throwing him on that 3rd pairing.
