Jakob Pelletier had a transitional year. From being in and out of the lineup in Calgary, not really finding any solid footing whatsoever out for that western club, to being traded to Philadelphia in the middle of the season and having to find what he can bring to a non-playoff team. Pelletier is hopefully taking the first step in a new opportunity that can see him carve out his own path as a Flyer.
It almost felt like Pelletier could have done well with the season being a dozen or so games longer. His usage under John Tortorella was almost non-existent until someone brought up the fact that he’s performing well in a miniscule role and probably deserves to be higher up in the lineup since he is someone that general manager Danny Briere specifically targeted as part of the return for Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost.
