Flyers' Nick Seeler proved himself to be a contributor this season

It's hard not to be impressed with what Nick Seeler has accomplished since joining the Flyers in 2021. Just a couple years removed from taking the entire 2020-21 season off for a “mental and physical break,” Seeler has established himself not only as a bona fide NHL defenseman, but also as a vocal leader and a fan favorite. For the majority of the 2023-24 campaign, Seeler was one-half of the Flyers' best defensive pairing. As fate would have it, though, the Flyers opted to move Walker at the trade deadline, gaining them a first-round pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
