Lately, the Flyers haven’t really done much on the first day of free agency. Whether cap-strapped or gun-shy, they were never in an ideal position to make a splash on day one. Wednesday came and went and those days appear to be over. While the Flyers didn’t make a giant splash, they made more than a few moderate splashes and addressed some needs while pulling off a surprise or two.
Addressing their situation in net was paramount. They did just that. Adding another quality veteran defenseman wasn’t exactly necessary, but it would help round out the blueline.
