Due to the state of the current COVID-19 pandemic, there isn’t much optimism that hockey will return this season. The Flyers, a team that was riding a hot streak, were looking forward to a deep playoff run. But now, as Kevin Hayes says, those guys “are excited to be gamers again.”
With the status of the season up in the air, it could be time to direct attention to the offseason. For the 2021-2022 season, the NHL will be debuting its 32nd franchise in Seattle. That being said, this offseason’s plans will rely heavily on the expansion draft that is to come next year.
