Since the subtraction of Pierre-Eduard Bellemare to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Expansion Draft, who will replace him as the next alternate captain for the Philadelphia Flyers?

Flyers captain Claude Giroux is well aware of how the past two years have gone and his focus this season is on putting it behind him and returning to form.

For Anthony Stolarz, who was re-signed and protected from the Expansion Draft during the offseason, it instantly cuts short a season that would have meant a lot to prove himself as the Flyers goalie of the future moving forward. For Alex Lyon, opportunity knocks once again.

GM Ron Hextall announced on Friday that goalie Anthony Stolarz underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus on his left knee on Thursday and will be out indefinitely.

When the Flyers drafted Nolan Patrick with the second overall pick, the assumption, from hockey experts to fans and beyond, was that he would be in the Orange and Black come October. But as is the case with Flyers GM Ron Hextall, don’t assume anything until it’s set in stone.

What are the Flyers chances of making it back to the postseason this season? That answer is a big unknown at this point, but lots of things can certainly determine their fate.
