We continue our look at 3C options for next season, and arrive now at one of our more interesting cases. We’ve talked already about Scott Laughton and Jori Lehtera, and in a way they felt like easy options—we’ve seen them play center for the Flyers (or elsewhere in the NHL) for extended periods of time, so we get it. Like it or not, choosing them for a promotion makes sense.
So, with them done, who’s next? The Flyers have made that easy for us. Asked time and again who they’ve been looking at to become the new 3C, Ron Hextall’s been pretty direct in listing their options.
