You have returning stalwarts like Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Chris VandeVelde, and Matt Read. Then you have improving youngsters like Nick Cousins and Scott Laughton. Throw in newly signed NHL free agents like Dale Weise and Boyd Gordon, as well. Then KHL import Roman Lyubimov. Maybe even AHL hopefuls Taylor Leier and Radel Fazleev could make a push.
At this point the Philadelphia Flyers may as well re-sign Sam Gagner. Maybe bring back Simon Gagne too. It would be just as well because they all can’t be in the lineup anyway.
