With final cuts looming large as the regular season creeps closer, the Flyers have made some preliminary decisions regarding their potential opening night roster.
The updated roster now stands at 28 players, after Jacob Gaucher was sent down to Lehigh Valley soon after the first 11 cuts became official.
Five forwards, four defensemen, and two goalies were returned to the AHL, with most of them being pretty straight-forward subtractions of players that clearly aren’t ready for the NHL roster. Names like Alexis Gendron and Alex Bump had outside shots, but once Tyson Foerster was confirmed to be at full strength, there really wasn’t any more room for another young winger.
