The Philadelphia Flyers have been lacking two types of players for a long time. The first is a franchise goalie and the second: a goal-scorer.
The goalie issue seems to be resolved with Carter Hart in town, but the scoring issue is one that still exists, despite some efforts from the team. James van Riemsdyk was brought back in over the summer (though he should have been the answer in 2012), but fans and even beat writers think another goal-scorer should be on this summer’s shopping list.
In a few years, the hope is that prospect Isaac Ratcliffe should be able to put those concerns to rest.
