During his season-ending press conference, Flyers GM Ron Hextall suggested the team would be active in trying to add depth this summer. He specifically said he’d like to upgrade at center, defense, and in goal, but the general feeling is that the Flyers would be looking at secondary free agents rather than going in aggressively after the big fish like John Tavares, John Carlson and James van Riemsdyk.
So, who does that leave? Using CapFriendly’s free agency page, let’s take a look a some possible names. I am leaving off names like Tavares, Paul Stastny, and others coming off larger contracts, as I don’t think Hextall is going to spend a lot on a single deal, and is more likely to add depth guys who can upgrade the bottom-6 and PK units.
