Flyers extend qualifying offers to three pending free agents

It’s Draft day in Philadelphia but that hasn’t stopped the Flyers from making some minor moves. The team extended qualifying offers to the following three pending free agents:

Nolan Patrick
Philippe Myers
Mikhail Vorobyev

This means that they’ll retain negotiating rights. The offers are typically one-year deals and if a player rejects, they’ll remain restricted free agents. While it’s procedural, it’s important for a player like Nolan Patrick, for instance.

The 22-year-old has been the subject of constant speculation this offseason. Battling a neurological condition, Patrick missed the entire 2019-20 campaign, but recently partook in a scrimmage with some top NHL Draft prospects, perhaps signifying his road to playing NHL hockey again has begun.
