This piece was going to begin with a bunch of paragraphs talking about the Flyers’ offseason, but if you’re here, there’s probably no need for that. You know what the Flyers have and haven’t done. Their big move so far has been the signing of no-not-that-Erik-Gustafsson Erik Gustafsson to a one-year contract, in a deal that has a pretty wide range of potential outcomes but at least brings some fun potential to the blue line. Otherwise, the Flyers took a surprise hit to their defense when Matt Niskanen retired, lost some depth forwards (Tyler Pitlick, Nate Thompson, and Derek Grant), and have shuffled some pieces around at the AHL level.
It’s a risk to not take a risk
