Day 2 of Flyers training camp continued with the same aggressive pace. Head coach Alain Vigneault came away impressed with Joel Farabee and the line of Kevin Hayes, James van Riemsdyk and Oskar Lindblom.
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.
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.
For every team that made a big signing as free agency opened, it is a calculated risk. The New York Rangers landed prize forward Artemi Panarin and are waging their success on him. The Flyers made their bet before free agency began on Kevin Hayes, Matt Niskanen and Justin Braun.
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.
After several weeks of activity, all the wheeling and dealing happening over the last two weeks, the weekend where free agency opens may not be all that eventful.
In this episode, a review of the NHL Draft as well as some of the trades and the way the offseason is being perceived.
Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher had a good first draft because of a move to get back into the second round and move up to take a first-round talent while taking calculated risks on his middle round picks.
