As the focus shifts in Philadelphia to the upcoming draft, it’s increasingly likely that the Flyers look to shore up the most pressing organizational need – the center spot. Especially with the ongoing speculation over the arrival of Matvei Michkov, the pressure ramps up on the organization to find one or two dance partners for the Mad Russian.
