Flyers Prospect Camp Begins

Well, his GM and coach in Kingston have referred to McKeown as a Scott Niedermeyer type of defender. I wanted the Flyers to draft McKeown, but at the same time, watching the video on Aube-Kubel, he seems to be a bit like Simon Gagne was his draft year. Blazing speed, good hands, a bit on the small side, and very good hockey IQ. He also just turned 18, so it will certainly be interesting to see how his game grows from here. If he ends up with a Gagne like jump (Simon went from 69 points his draft year to 120 points after being drafted), then it's possible that the Flyers have found yet another legitimate right winger who can be put beside either Couturier or Schenn.

I think the Gagne comparison is very apt.
