As we sit and ponder what this Flyers team is going to do this offseason, there’s a question that the folks in the front office need to be thinking about and deciding as they try and draw up their perfect offseason: what risks are they willing to take?
The reality is that every team, especially right now in the time of a flat salary cap, has to take some risks and some chances in putting together a team. Now, those risks can be and are very different depending on the circumstances a team is facing. Maybe you’ve gotta take the risk that a key piece who had a bad year last year is going to bounce back.
