When the current Flyers regime took over in May of this past year, stating their intentions to kick off a rebuild that this organization has really never seen in its history, we didn’t know what sort of steps they’d take in changing their roster. We learned pretty quickly that the answer was “get rid of the guys John Tortorella wanted to get rid of and keep basically everyone else.” Ivan Provorov, Tony DeAngelo, and Kevin Hayes were all either bought out or traded for different things, and the Flyers otherwise filled out their roster on the margins and ran back a group that finished seventh from the bottom of the 2022-23 standings.
