Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post: (mailbag) Tyler Pitlick may deserve a contract extension from the Philadelphia Flyers, but the Flyers do have some young guys pushing for a roster spot. Recently signed NCAA forwards Tanner Laczynski and Wade Alison could challenge for a fourth-line spot. They could see if Pitlick would take a PTO, but he could get around $1 million on the open market.
From understanding, Nolan Patrick being able to resume his playing career is not a slam dunk. Patrick is a pending restricted free agent that would require a $971,250 qualifying offer.
