The Philadelphia Flyers needed help down the middle heading into this offseason, and they’ve addressed that a bit by trading for Trevor Zegras and signing Christian Dvorak. While Zegras is more of a high-upside guy, Dvorak provides some stability in the bottom half of the lineup as a strong two-way presence.
Dvorak met with the media on Thursday and explained, among other things, why he chose Philadelphia and what role his former and new head coach, Rick Tocchet, played in his decision.
“That certainly helps, being familiar with Tocc and the way he coaches. He helped me out a lot in Arizona as a young guy, and we had a real young team there, too,” Dvorak recalled.
