Flyers
There are eight Flyers prospects participating in the 2018 World Junior Summer Showcase and many of them have been impressive over the first few days.
Wayne Simmonds is still with the Flyers and figures to be through the 2018-19 season. His future beyond next season, however, remains cloudy with lingering questions.
The Flyers finished off the offseason checklist, signing the final remaining restricted free agent on the list. According to a report from Renaud Lavoie, the Flyers have signed defenseman Robert Hagg to a two-year, $2.3 million deal.
With so many talented prospects in the system, the Flyers not only have to focus on adding potential stars from their prospect pool, but depth players who could play important roles on the team. Maksim Sushko could be one of those players.
The possible duo in James van Riemsdyk and Nolan Patrick carries a lot of intrigue for the Flyers.
It’s a new chapter for James van Riemsdyk, so just because he’s back in the Orange and Black, it’s not going to be exactly the same as it was all those years ago when the former second overall pick made his debut. Most notably, the new chapter brings on a new number.
With collegiate players entering the league at a fast rate, the Philadelphia Flyers are one of the top teams that are actively scouting and drafting talent from the NCAA.
According to a report from NHL writer John Hoven, goalie Anthony Stolarz has accepted the Flyers qualifying offer of $761,250.
Ray Emery, a goaltender who played three of his nine NHL seasons with the Flyers, has passed away at the age of 35, according to reports out of Hamilton, Ontario.
The Flyers avoided arbitration with forward Taylor Leier, agreeing to a one-year, one-way deal worth $720,000. The Flyers also signed forward Tyrell Goulbourne to a one-year deal and confirmed the signing of forward Danick Martel.
