As the market opens, the Flyers are still not finished yet. Here are a few candidates at each position that the Flyers could target in free agency.

The Flyers never had the answers. They could never counter the Islanders desire to finish this series. So it goes in the playoffs sometimes. Make no mistake, it’s disappointing, and this loss stings knowing the season is over, but there is a lot to take from this season. For now, let’s…
