Samuel Dove-McFalls, one of their fourth-round selections in 2015 (98th overall), will become a free agent, as the Orange and Black missed their 5 p.m. deadline to sign him.

With the calendar turning to June on Thursday, offseason events and happenings will start picking up, making it a very busy month for the Flyers.
