There’s a new Erik Gustafsson in town, boys and girls.
The Flyers signed Gustafsson — not to be confused with the Erik Gustafsson who occasionally played in Philly earlier in the decade — to a one-year contract worth $3 million. The 28-year-old defenseman saw a fair amount of success as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks the last few years, but his 60-point campaign during the 2018-19 season was easily his best campaign to date.
So, what can Flyers fans expect from the club’s newest defenseman? To find out, we got in touch with Dave Melton (@_DaveMelton) of Second City Hockey for insight on Gustafsson’s potential impact both on and off the ice.
