Ever since the Flyers’ season came to a close, general manager Ron Hextall has been slowly but surely resolving every major open piece of free agent business.
First, he made sure that prospects Mikhail Vorobyev and Oskar Lindblom took their talents to North America. Then, he locked up restricted free agent Shayne Gostisbehere to a six-year contract extension. Finally, in the lead-up to free agency, he found a way to retain Jordan Weal, and answered the goaltending question by signing Brian Elliott to a two-year contract.
That left Hextall with only a few more necessary moves before the offseason would essentially come to a close for the organization.
