"Marc-Andre turns pro after an outstanding 2008-09 season in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, where he was honored for his play during the regular season and in the playoffs," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgrem said. "We believe Marc-Andre has tremendous potential to develop into a solid defenseman at the next level."

Bourdon is a good puck-moving defenseman, but is still a bit away from making a Fantasy impact. He is nothing more than a long-term keeper.
