The Flyers are going to look vastly different in 2017-18. And when you consider they are coming off a mostly listless season in which they won 10 straight at one point but somehow still managed to miss the playoffs, well, different is a good thing.
A lot of the Flyers’ roster will be determined in the next two weeks, starting with the expansion draft on Wednesday, continuing with the NHL draft this weekend, and the free-agency period that begins July 1. Trades will also alter the landscape.
From here, the Flyers could have as many as six rookies on their roster: defensemen Sam Morin and Robert Hagg, left winger Oskar Lindblom, center Nico Hischier or Nolan Patrick (whichever one they draft), goalie Anthony Stolarz, and center Mike Vecchione.
