The Flyers Prospect with a Mysterious Edge That Has Sharp Already Impressed—What’s His Secret?
When you hear the name Patrick Sharp, you think of a draft pick who defied the odds — a guy snatched up in the third round, 95th overall, back in 2001, who then carved out a Hall of Fame-worthy career with three Stanley Cups and multiple 30-plus goal seasons.
