Now, he wasn\u2019t just a pro hockey player; he was as an  NHL regular for the Flyers after being called up in December.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1812\">Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to be honored at ESPYs with Stuart Scott Award for commitment to autism awareness<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>So with some time off during the break, Barkey headed back to see his old club. It was there that the graciously listed 5-foot-10, 170-pound Barkey met the accurately measured 6-7, 238-pound Maksim Sokolovskii. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>So, what\u2019s the scouting report on the Flyers\u2019 newest defensive prospect, Denver?<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI only watched two games, but obviously he\u2019s a big boy [who] throws his body around,\u201d replied Barkey, who had no idea in February that the two would one day be wearing orange and black together. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s got a lot of raw skill. When I watched him, it seemed like he moved really well, moves the puck well for being [6-7] at that age. It\u2019s pretty impressive, and I think he\u2019s got a really high ceiling.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And that\u2019s the thing: Sokolovskii, whom Flyers assistant general manager Brent Flahr described as a \u201cunicorn\u201d this weekend, does have a high ceiling. In the same breath that many fans and draft prognosticators  questioned the Flyers\u2019 moving down to take the Nikita Zadorov-comparable, they\u2019ve acknowledged his impressive skating  for his size. He is considered a prospect who, while raw, will indeed play in the NHL one day.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s 6-foot-8, and he skates like he\u2019s 5-foot-8,\u201d Mike Taylor, the Atlantic Hockey Academy\u2019s owner and one of Sokolovskii\u2019s coaches two seasons ago, told The Inquirer recently. \u201c&#8230; He came here, and I had a skating coach once a month come up and do power skating with our guys, and he does it like with UMass Amherst, and all these other schools.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAnd he saw him skate, and he\u2019s like, \u2018Oh my God.\u2019 He couldn\u2019t believe how good his edge work was, and stuff, for being the size that he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>A strong first impression<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>During the first day of Flyers development camp on Monday, as Sokolovskii towered over the coaching staff and most of his fellow defensemen \u2014 6-5 blueliners Carter Amico and Luke Vlooswyk were the exception \u2014 the long and lean defenseman looked anything but gangly on the ice.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Are there small tweaks that need to be made? Absolutely.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Director of player development Riley Armstrong said he and Flyers skating instructor Lindsay Tilley noticed he was turning his upper body too much during the skating-only drills, which made him a weaker skater. \u201cWhen your hips and your shoulders don\u2019t stay in a square, it throws you all off balance,\u201d Armstrong noted. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>#Flyers first-round pick Maksim Sokolovskii said \u201cI feel amazing\u201d after putting on logo for just time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think great,\u201d he said of first day at development camp. \u201cGood experience first practice with the pro guys,\u201d Mentioned he hadn\u2019t skated in two weeks. pic.twitter.com\/qfXm27fbbO<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jackie Spiegel (@jackiespiegel93) June 29, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>However, Sokolovskii didn\u2019t really do that during the drills with the puck, as he executed  puck retrievals with some deception all while keeping his feet moving. It was evident to all in attendance, including the several fans who lined the rink, that there was a smoothness to his skating \u2014 even though he had been off the ice for about two weeks.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI feel amazing,\u201d he said when asked about wearing the Flyers logo for the first time.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And how did Day 1 go? \u201cI think great. Good experience, first practice with the pro guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sokolovskii doesn\u2019t turn 18 for another 12 days. He\u2019s still shy and reserved, at least off the ice. But on the ice, it is a different story.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a big, strong shutdown defenseman with a really good stick and a physical side,\u201d London assistant coach Rick Steadman told The Inquirer during a recent phone interview. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe likes to play hard. He likes to step up and hit guys, and he\u2019s just that big beast back there that\u2019s going to really protect you defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t always like that.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Defense first<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Two years ago, when the Kazakhstan-born, Russian-raised blueliner came to the United States to play at  the Atlantic Coast Academy, Taylor recalls that the league was a little beneath Sokolovski because he was bigger and stronger than everyone else. And because of that, he\u2019d get a lot of penalties.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Despite spending a lot of time in the penalty box, Sokolovskii still put up big numbers, racking up 34 goals and 84 points in 65 games. His issue was in his own end. \u201cHe was taking chances and doing things with us that he wouldn\u2019t do at the next level, because the hockey allowed the level of play,\u201d Taylor said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>When Sokolovskii went to London, things changed.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI think when I started the year, I tried to play more offensive,\u201d Sokolovskii mentioned Monday. \u201cBut they told me you need to play more [in the] defensive zone. &#8230; You can play in the NHL if you will play more defensive.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And that was the focus.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cFor us, we like our guys to be able to play D first, so we can trust them out there and get more ice time. So we really did push that a lot,\u201d Steadman said. \u201cAnd we were trying to get him to create offense from the defense, like he\u2019d poke a puck away on a rush or a big hit turned into transition, trying to get him to do offense that way. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1810\">Philly\u2019s Bud Wilson set a record with his five-day run across Pennsylvania. A run across the entire country might be next.<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWhen he was playing a little younger, because he was so big and he got such a big reach, he could really just push guys out of the way &#8230; so we tried to teach him that pro-style game, use your teammates, stay at the blue line, get your shots through to create your offense, not stickhandle through everybody, and try to get as close as you can to the net.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sokolovskii worked his way up the lineup. He came in as a seventh or eighth defenseman and was rotating in and out at first. But he \u201cdug in,\u201d according to Steadman, and after Christmas, they opted to trade some players, knowing that he was ready to effectively step into the lineup. He started on the third pair, was scratched a few times, but eventually forced the Knights to keep him in the lineup.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>It was his games against Brady Martin, the fifth overall pick in last year\u2019s draft, in the playoffs that opened many evaluators\u2019 eyes.  Martin, a point-per-game player during the regular season, had five points in the series against London; however, his only goal with Sokolovskii on the ice came on a power play. He shut him down at five-on-five. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just saying that he got that defense system figured out. He was playing hard, big minutes. He was hitting, playing physical, without taking a penalty, which is pretty amazing for a kid that big, and just never backed down, kept going, and really a key guy that way coming in,\u201d Steadman said of the blueliner. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s one of those things that translates really well to the NHL is that ability to defend and play against top guys. You always hope that offense will come, but you always need guys to keep that puck out of the net.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>You can&#8217;t teach size and Maksim Sokolovskii is bringing it to Philly. #NHLDraft | @Xfinity pic.twitter.com\/8VRSJj2bA5<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) June 27, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Room for improvement<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>It was Sokolovskii\u2019s progression throughout the season that stood out to the Flyers and enticed f them to draft the blueliner. \u201cIt seemed every month he just kept getting better and better, and figuring out the game more and more,\u201d Flyers general manager Danny Bri\u00e8re said  on Friday.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>According to Steadman, that progression was due to a multitude of factors, but none greater than the fact that he became more comfortable speaking English. It helped him be more confident on and off the ice.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThings that we take for granted \u2014 just asking somebody for something, or like, where do I get this, where\u2019s this in the dressing room, and then on the ice, just even yelling to your partner, \u2018I\u2019m open, I\u2019m open,\u2019 or \u2018You\u2019re OK, you\u2019re OK,\u2019 or \u2018Someone\u2019s coming, move the puck quickly.\u2019 You just don\u2019t have that. You\u2019re just playing purely on and living on your natural ability to just try to figure it out as you go,&#8221; Steadman said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s why I do think he has a good hockey brain to be able to figure it out when you can\u2019t speak; it is pretty amazing. And then his English got better and better, and he understood and could talk to his teammates.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cFrom the start of the year, couldn\u2019t have a conversation with him as a coach. You try and use Google Translate, [but the] conversations took forever. At the end of the year, you could sit down and just chat away with him, and then have a conversation about anything \u2014 his family, hockey, how he\u2019s doing \u2014 and he really progressed that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Now, the next step is building up his offense.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Part of the criticism around Sokolovskii being selected in the first round was his limited production. He only had two goals and eight points in 44 regular-season games and was pointless in five postseason games.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sokolovskii told The Inquirer at the NHL scouting combine that he wants to keep working on his foot speed. The hope is that it will all translate to offensive improvement.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cA big guy with skates that big, it takes a while to get that quick twitch going, so he\u2019ll keep working on that; that\u2019ll just help with his game and breakouts better,\u201d Steadman said. \u201cAnd then we talked to him a lot about just getting his shot off quicker. It\u2019s a long way from his head to his hands to the bottom of his stick, and it takes him a long time to get that puck off. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cBut if you can get that off quicker with how hard his shot is \u2026 he will beat goalies and be able to score. So he\u2019s just got to get it off as quick as possible, let it touch his stick, get it off, and hopefully, help him create offense that way,\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>He does possess a big-time, hard shot that could become a weapon from the  blue line. Sokolovskii is excited to work on building his offense \u2014 and he may get some time on the power play in London.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI would probably guess in London next year you\u2019ll probably see him [add offense], once he has the ability to start joining the rush more,\u201d Armstrong said. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAnd now they know that he can defend and he\u2019s good at it \u2014 you see some of the bone-crushing hits and a couple of fights he was in \u2014 I think he\u2019s going to have more space next year. I think guys are going to probably be a little bit more scared of him going into the season, so I think that\u2019s going to open up the offensive side of his game as well. And I\u2019d like to see him throw a couple in the back then as well, add to his toolbox.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1808\">Supreme Court upholds state laws banning transgender girls and women from school athletic teams<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sokolovskii is a project the Flyers believe strongly in. &quot;It seemed every month he just kept getting better and better,\u201d Flyers general manager Danny Bri\u00e8re said Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
