When the Flyers drafted Cam York in 2019, there was an expectation of what he could become. He was touted as a great two-way defender with great puck-handling skills and someone who could quarterback a power play. In fact, it was this offensive potential that had Flyers fans salivating for years.
When you consider how anemic the power play has been over the last several seasons, someone who could helm the man-advantage would be nice to have—fun fact, during the 2024-25 season. York and I had almost the same amount of power-play ice time (9.6 minutes compared to 0).
