The Philadelphia Flyers will enter the 2021-22 season with Sean Couturier, Claude Giroux and Ivan Provorov as most prominent parts of their core. Ryan Ellis, Rasmus Ristolinen, Cam Atkinson, James van Riemsdyk, and Kevin Hayes will also figure into the leadership group.
This veteran core is a good mix of players who have been in the playoffs and worn letters on their sweaters. The leadership is going to be stronger than ever.
