The latest in the Flyers' foray into undrafted college free agents, Alex Lyon comes to Philadelphia with a long track record of success. How big of a role can he push for within the organization this year?
The undrafted college free agent pool is one that the Flyers have always liked. Rarely does a spring go by without the Flyers plucking at least one player out of the college ranks to add to their prospect pipeline. This was a bit of a problem in the earlier part of the decade, when the college free agent pool was largely what the Flyers relied on to put together a prospect pipeline -- that's what'll happen when you regularly trade your first- and second-round picks for NHL pieces and rentals -- but as simply another way to add to the system, it's a good place to look.
