Taylor Leier had seemingly been in the Flyers system for an eternity. And to be fair, he kind of has been. Leier was drafted in 2012 as a fourth round pick and made occasional appearances with the Flyers, but was mostly an AHL regular. This year, the speedy winger finally made the opening night roster on the fourth line. Leier, along with teammates Scott Laughton and Michael Raffl, formed one of the best fourth lines the Flyers have iced since the Mike Richards/Jeff Carter days.
The “Honey Bees” line was an absolute menace on the ice.
