While a healthy Couturier and Ellis will have a big impact, their are still a few aspects of the roster the Flyers need to address.
As of Friday, May 27, it will have been 47 years since the Flyers last won the Stanley Cup. If you have a fondness for the sadomasochistic, you can continue parsing that number to illustrate just how long that drought has been: 17,168 days, 411,744 hours, and on and on, until you risk crashing the calculator app on your smartphone or, worse, having the device, like an overworked engine, begin emitting clouds of smoke.
The Philadelphia Flyers finished 29th in the NHL this season and traded away their captain along with a few depth players who stepped up in a down season for the team. The team was out of the playoff race earlier than most and there weren’t many positives to talk about during the season. As the Flyers were an afterthought for most, here are five players that flew under the radar and had solid performances, instilling confidence for next season.
