Flyers training camp opened on Thursday with John Tortorella's skating gauntlet, setting the tone for the weeks ahead. Roster spots are available, providing open competition for several players.
Emil Andrae made the move to North America last season, signing an ELC with the Flyers in March. Now, he wants to make his next move and make the NHL roster out of camp.
The clear focus of the Flyers draft was on the big picture of the rebuild, drafting for upside. Now, they have time to develop these prospects to the fullest with a new player development team in place.
