Flyers
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.
With training camp just one week away, the guys preview the Flyers training camp roster, position battles to come in camp and make predictions on the Flyers opening night lineup.
The Flyers announced the dates and roster for training camp, set to open next Friday, Sept. 15. In total, 61 players will participate in training camp — 37 forwards, 17 defensemen and seven goaltenders.
The start of Flyers training camp, which for Nolan Patrick begins with rookie camp on Monday, provides the chance for him to prove himself and see what he can do.
Flyers captain Claude Giroux responded to Jeremy Roenick’s offseason comments regarding his struggles and decline and the response was mainly in agreement.
Current players, new additions and young prospects will converge at the Skate Zone in Voorhees in the coming weeks to vie for roster spots as part of the 2017-18 Flyers. With just days until the start of rookie camp on Monday, and veteran training camp set to begin next Friday on Sept. 15, the hype surrounding it grows each day.
With two openings available on the blue line, Sam Morin faces his best chance to make the Philadelphia Flyers roster. If he can’t, will he be the bust of the defensive prospect pool?
