Filed under: Continuity usually reigns supreme in these circumstances and the Flyers have plenty of it. The Flyers are going to be good this coming season, we think. The same team they were last year?
The 2020-21 NHL season is going to be a 56-game sprint to the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the truncated timeline of the end of last season to abbreviated training camps should benefit teams who return many of the same pieces they finished with a few months ago.
There’s Derrick Pouliot, too, but by and large there aren’t any surprises here for the Flyers as they gear up for the 2020-21 season in a few short weeks.
Patrick missed all of last season with lingering migraine issues but has been skating and the team is hopeful he can rejoin the lineup.
Even if Patrick doesn’t live up to his billing as the No. 2 overall pick, his game in his two seasons was better than what the Flyers were provided at third line center last season with a mix of veteran options with little upside.
Not only does Patrick stand to add a potential spark to the Flyers, they’ll also get promising forward Oskar Lindblom back after missing the bulk of last season due to cancer treatment for Ewing’s carcoma.
