Former Philadelphia Flyers prospect, Wyatt Kalynuk, will reportedly sign an entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks. As I speculated at the beginning of this month, the Blackhawks were a prime target to secure Kalynuk. A team that wouldn’t be playoff eligible without the 2020 bracket expansion signs a much-needed defenseman. It’s no doubt that Chicago does improve, but the sour taste is at the expense of the Flyers. The rhythm of the NHL offseason during the pandemic has disrupted the handling of Kalynuk as a prospect.
After his tenure at the University of Wisconsin, the Philadelphia Flyers had thirty days to sign Wyatt Kalynuk to an entry-level contract.
