That has required him to […]

The Flyers should not return the 22-year-old rookie defenseman to the minors after Mark Streit returns from injury, or for any other reason for that matter.

Ron Hextall has been busy over the last couple of days, trimming the Flyers roster from 62 players to 29. With so many players gone, there were plenty of questions, especially surrounding the return of their three first-round picks over the last two years that carry high expectations and anticipation.
