Most fans and experts in the orbit of the Philadelphia Flyers largely assumed that it was just a formality that the Flyers would sign the pending unrestricted free agent Ryan White. After the season was over, White was quite open about his desire to stay. Furthermore, as of last night, the 2 sides were seemingly close to a deal.
How quickly things change.
As the opening bell sounded for free agency and many big names went as expected in a matter of minutes, the Flyers’ name was being attached to a deal for free agent Dale Weise.
