Although the Philadelphia Flyers are currently in a playoff spot, the primary goal is to develop young talent. The team is focused on identifying said talent and molding them into NHL-caliber players to build its next winning core.
It appears this strategy is working as two rookie skaters for the AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, are having strong seasons.
