Expectations for this year’s Philadelphia Flyers team are extraordinarily low. And they should be. The Flyers finished the 2021-22 campaign with just 61 points — good for fourth-fewest in the NHL. The only team with fewer wins than the Flyers last season was the Montreal Canadiens, who were historically terrible with just 22 wins on the year.
As bad as the Flyers were last season, there remains the possibility that the team may have gotten even worse over the summer. The team failed to acquire players with high-end talent in the offseason, and the players they did bring in come with significant flaws.
