Last season was the fifth straight year the Flyers missed the postseason. Aiming to climb back into contention, Danny Briere looked to free agency to plug important holes in the lineup.
Before that, the Flyers re-signed Noah Cates and Tyson Foerster, later bringing back Cam York as well. They let Jakob Pelletier and Elliot Desnoyers walk. And while they did not re-sign Zayde Wisdom, he came back to the Phantoms on an AHL deal.
Briere's biggest additions during free agency were Christian Dvorak and Dan Vladar, both of whom play positions the Flyers needed to upgrade. Briere added depth with Noah Juulsen and Dennis Gilbert, two defensemen who add size and physicality.
