It’s been quite an eventful offseason for the Philadelphia Flyers, but not necessarily in a good way.
Despite the promise of an “aggressive retool” from general manager Chuck Fletcher last winter, the Flyers essentially opted to bring back much of last year’s roster. James van Riemsdyk is back, Rasmus Ristolainen is back, Kevin Connauton is back, Nick Seeler is back. Even Justin Braun, who the team shipped to the New York Rangers at the trade deadline, is back.
The Flyers did make some additions this offseason, though none of them exactly move the needle much, if at all.
