The Flyers signed free-agent defenseman Christian Folin on Thursday, giving them depth and some physicality on the back end.
Folin, 27, a righthanded shooter who has spent four seasons in the NHL, will battle for a regular spot in training camp but will likely be the team’s seventh defenseman. The top six is expected to include the following duos: Ivan Provorov and Shayne Gostisbehere, Radko Gudas and Travis Sanheim, and Andrew MacDonald and Robert Hagg.
Hagg is a restricted free agent and still needs to come to terms with the Flyers, who gave him a $874,125 qualifying offer.
