Christian Folin

Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald suffered a lower-body injury during an offseason workout and will be out for six weeks, according to GM Ron Hextall.

With the Flyers offseason plan essentially complete -- with the exception of training camp happenings -- have the Flyers done enough to show improvement in key areas from a season ago?

It’s a new chapter for James van Riemsdyk, so just because he’s back in the Orange and Black, it’s not going to be exactly the same as it was all those years ago when the former second overall pick made his debut. Most notably, the new chapter brings on a new number.

The Flyers have signed Christian Folin to a one-year deal, Hextall announced on Thursday morning. Terms of the deal have not been released.
