The Philadelphia Flyers created a lot of excitement in the city of Philadelphia last year with their improbable run to the playoffs. After a slow start, the Flyers went 16-6-3 in their final 25 games to qualify for the NHL playoffs. This would cause most fans to look at the team and think about what the Flyers need to do in order to take that next step towards being a Stanley Cup contender.
The Flyers did take some steps to improve the team for this up coming year. They signed Dale Weise who will give them more size, speed and goal scoring from their bottom six forwards.
