The Philadelphia Flyers have a problem. It’s a problem that we came into this season dreading but it reared its ugly head immediately and now we have to suffer through the issues to start this interesting 2024-25 season.
Of course, the blue line health is the problem and how shallow the talent pool is for this team that has desires to be as competitive as possible. With Nick Seeler yet to make his season debut after blocking a pass in the preseason that caused some weird numbness in his foot — this is now multiple weeks ago — the Flyers have had to rely on veteran Erik Johnson to play some semi-important minutes on the blue line.
