Flyers position preview: Left wing now a strength with Claude Giroux, James van Riemsdyk, others

James van Riemsdyk, coming off a 36-goal season with Toronto, was signed as a free agent.

Oskar Lindblom, who had just two goals in 23 games with the Flyers last season, looks ready to blossom into a dependable scorer. He's penciled in as the third-line left winger.

The fourth-line left-winger spot is up for grabs. It could be Scott Laughton or Jordan Weal, each of whom is also in contention for a center spot. It could be speedy Taylor Leier or Michael Raffl, though the latter will probably play the right side on the fourth line.
