With the surprising news of Samuel Morin heading into camp to compete at left wing rather than defense, it led to a discussion about the Flyers’ seemingly solid depth on the back-end. However, how true is that?
There are of course the big three for the foreseeable future in Ivan Provorov, Travis Sanheim, and Philippe Myers, as well as returners Justin Braun, Shayne Gostisbehere, and Robert Hagg. Then there is new addition Erik Gustafsson, as well as those pushing to usurp those ahead of them on the depth chart in Mark Friedman and Yegor Zamula. At a glance, the depth does seem to be there.
