Read looking to bounce back after two subpar seasons
Which version of Matt Read will be in the Flyers' lineup this season - if, in fact, he beats out several camp challengers and earns one of the winger spots?
After starting his career with three solid seasons, Read has looked slower and has been unproductive the last two.
Two years ago, he was hindered by a high ankle sprain and scored a career-low eight goals, but he was healthy last season and still managed just 11 goals.
The Flyers, short on offense, desperately need him to regain the form that saw him average about 23 goals (including a pro-rated total in a lockout year) in his first three seasons.
