With only two rosters revealed so far, the Philadelphia Flyers are already set to be well represented at the 2025 World Junior Summer Showcase later this month.
The United States and Sweden each revealed their Summer Showcase rosters Wednesday, featuring a total of three Flyers prospects, including two players picked in the 2025 NHL Draft.
Representing the Flyers on Team USA will be recent draftees Jack Murtagh and Shane Vansaghi, two wingers who play for Boston University and Michigan State University, respectively.
On the other side, for Sweden, 2024 second-round pick Jack Berglund returns in his last hurrah with Tre Kronor as a U20 player.
Berglund, 19, scored two goals, an assist, and three points in 11 games for Sweden at the U20 level this past season. Berglund was sidelined for the 2025 World Junior Championships due to a broken hand, so his inclusion in this lesser competition should come as no surprise.
Vansaghi, 18, did not play in the 2025 World Juniors, but did play in the 2024 World Juniors, contributing an assist in seven games played. With some international experience already, it's perfectly plausible the pugilist winger nails down a role in the bottom-six.
As for the 18-year-old Murtagh, the buccaneering forward was a standout and bronze medal winner with Team USA's 2024 World Juniors group, chipping in two goals, four assists, and six points in seven games. His continued featured role with the U.S. is all but guaranteed.
Canada and Finland are the last two nations to reveal their rosters, and when they do, we can anticipate Flyers prospects Porter Martone, Jack Nesbitt, Heikki Ruohonen, Matthew Gard, and Max Westergard to be included then.
