When Rick Tocchet became head coach, there were three glaring holes the Flyers needed to resolve to some extent if they wanted to become playoff contenders in 2025-26: depth down the middle, goaltending and the power play. The signing of Trevor Zegras should help the center ice position. Dan Vladar’s signing should perhaps help take a bit of the load and pressure off of assumed starter Sam Ersson when October rolls around. But perhaps the biggest question mark now remains the power play. Is Zegras enough to get the effectiveness up to less than miserable? Will Michkov and Zegras find instant chemistry and make the Flyers’ first power play unit a huge positive?
