Since their 2018-19 campaign ended in early April, the Philadelphia Flyers have kept themselves busy through the months of summer. They hired Alain Vigneault to replace now current Lehigh Valley Phantoms Head Coach Scott Gordon to run the Flyers bench just a couple of weeks after their season concluded and appointed Michel Therrien and Mike Yeo as his assistants as the month of May began.
Philadelphia went silent for a while as the 2019 IIHF World Championships, and Stanley Cup Playoffs came to a close and General Manager Chuck Fletcher, then, acquired the rights to forward Kevin Hayes from the Winnipeg Jets for a 2019 Fifth-Round pick.
