Alain Vigneault
The first day of Flyers training camp did not come without some bad news. Chuck Fletcher said that there is still a way to go on a new contract with Travis Konecny and that forward Nolan Patrick will be out week-to-week with an upper-body injury.
As training camp begins bright and early on Friday for the Flyers and continues into the weekend with three on-ice sessions each day, here are five things to watch during training camp.
With just three days remaining until training camp begins, Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny remain unsigned. The two would be notable absences from Alain Vigneault’s first training camp as head coach.
It may only be a couple of days of practice for the trio of Morgan Frost, Joel Farabee and Isaac Ratcliffe — all turning pro full-time for the 2019-20 season — but the chemistry is starting to form early.
The 2018-19 season was another year in what has been a roller-coaster career for Shayne Gostisbehere, who followed up a career-high 65 points with a career-low 37 points. So the question arises again: which version of Gostisbehere will the Flyers get this season?
September is here. In less than two weeks, the preseason begins.What this does is effectively end one of the most speculative offseasons in Flyers history.
With the offseason essentially complete except for a few re-signings to come, the guys look at what the Flyers did and analyze the offseason as a whole while also looking at some of the other signings and the teams in the Metropolitan Division and Eastern Conference.
The Flyers made their additions already, now they focus on bringing back the remaining RFAs to cap off their roster after a relatively quiet July 1.
As free agency weekend approaches, Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher discussed the recent moves and upcoming free agency on Wednesday during development camp.
Kevin Durso and Matt Mastrogiovanni take a closer look at the offseason moves made by the Flyers so far and look ahead to the 2019 NHL Draft.
