With a nearly capped out roster following a flurry of offseason moves, Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher was left to go bargain hunting to fill out the bottom of his roster for 2021-22.
As we’ve documented, the early returns have been pretty (pretty, pretty) good — well at least in terms of a production standpoint.
There’s no better case study than veteran pivot Derick Brassard, operating on a one-year, $835K deal, with six points (one goal, five assists) in his first seven games with the Flyers. The .86 points per game he’s averaging is the best mark in his career — one that’s included nine teams now.
