NHL Burning Questions: Philadelphia Flyers

by

Welcome to this weekend edition of THN.com’s Burning Questions series, an ongoing feature in which we pose three key questions for each NHL team. 

In today’s file, we’re posing Three Burning Questions about the Philadelphia Flyers.

THREE BURNING QUESTIONS FOR THE FLYERS IN 2022-23:

1. Is Chuck Fletcher truly deluded enough to see this Flyers team making the playoffs? In nearly four years as Flyers GM, Fletcher has presided over disappointment after disappointment. Some of that can be chalked up to unfortunate luck on the health front, but there is a real disconnect between the optimism with which Fletcher sees his team, and the pessimism many Flyers fans and hockey media has for them this season. Where Fletcher looks at his young players and sees opportunities for them to establish themselves as elite NHLers, skeptics see a team with too many middle-of-the-road veterans and unproven NHL assets, and injuries that are already biting into the roster – including serious injuries to star forward Sean Couturier and Ryan Ellis, neither of whom will be on the ice to start the regular season – give a stark indication of how shallow their talent pool truly is.
