Will the Flyers be a better team this year?

Answer 1

C – Carter (If the Flyers keep him healthy and Eager and Fedoruk keep him protected)
LW – Gagne (Superb underestimated superstar)
RW – Knuble (Continued throughout the year to play superb while his team went to pieces)
D – Hatcher (Needs to get off his nice-boy trip)
D – Jones (Superb underestimated defensivemn)
G – Biron (If he stands up to expectations)

Briere is heading to Philly

Fedoruk and Eager need to do their jobs

*The Flyers now have a steady stream of forwards. Their talent up front is deep but they are still weak on defense. – We’ll see what happens on draft-day….. and if Briere can figure out the difference between a Zep and a Hoagie we’ll be in good shape.

Yeah, Philly’s still doing a lot of rebuilding.

I know there’s a lot of IFs but I think they’re making all the right moves and I think the NHL is going to witness a major Cinderella story this year.

One more enforcer, 2-3 more faster skaters on defense and we’ll see you in the finals.

Answer 2

I would almost guarantee that the Flyers will go after a top notch Free Agent this summer... I'm thinking Briere.
Their young kids will be a year older and more experienced... Carter and Richards
I would also expect sparkplug Downie to make the team this year too.

Don't be surprised to see the Flyers competing for a playoff spot next year. They'll definitely be a lot better.

Answer 3

They need a new set of defence. The defence only racked up about 1 of every 10 points on the season. They need to get involved in the play as well but it doesn't look like it is so I would say they will do better but not much.

Answer 4

Can't get much worse, so I suspect yes. They will be. Will they be good? Probably not. Better? Yes. That said, it is impossible to tell right now. We don't know who they are signing. We don't know who they are drafting. We don't really know what the team will look like in October. Ask again in September and we can all make a better guess.

Answer 5

Absolutley they have a much better and more expierenced goalie now And Marty is awsome i love home and miss him but thew Flyers will do better they also need better Defencemen though

Answer 6

hard to beat a last place finish in the weaker of the two NHL conferences

and with 20+ Million in cap room which they can use to sign some big named free agents (drury, briere, gomez, rafalski) the flyers should be worlds better next year

but i still hate all philly teams

GO DEVS

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

john disque, hate to break it to you, but fedoruk wont protect carter, maybe eager but fedoruk is a terrible fighter, id rather have nancy kerrigan protecting me on the ice

Answer 9

i dunno about a contender i would think not

but it

A. depends on what they trade for

B. sometimes it just takes a few key components to get everyone else playing better

Answer 10

Could they actually be any worse?
