Chris VandeVelde played for Dave Hakstol at North Dakota, and now that he's coaching the Flyers, the fourth-line center wants back in Philly.
Former Moorhead Spud Chris VandeVelde tells me: "I already wanted to go back to Philly, Hakstol being there makes it even more so."

Chris VandeVelde was a good bottom-six player for the Philadelphia Flyers last season, but make no mistake: the team's hopes for the future come nowhere close to hinging on him. Losing him will not hurt much, and keeping him will not make much of a difference.
