Free agency has opened up in the NHL today and the Philadelphia Flyers are one of the teams not expected to be all that busy, but they are bringing back the guy they acquired at last season’s trade deadline.
No, there will be no Flyers involvement in the Steven Stamkos sweepstakes, or getting involved in some mid-tier players that will most likely be overpaid in a couple years — the Flyers are just holding steady and probably, at the most, trading away a roster member or two and signing Travis Konecny to a long-term extension. Well, they are doing that and also reportedly bringing back defenseman Erik Johnson on a one-year deal.
