PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers lost out on free-agent stars Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. They flat-out lost Jaromir Jagr and Matt Carle. They traded one of their former cornerstones in James van Riemsdyk and brought back a journeyman goalie in Michael Leighton.
For a franchise that’s never been afraid to make a major deal, this offseason has been a slow one for the Flyers.
It doesn’t mean the Flyers don’t feel good about their roster heading into next season.
A year after general manager Paul Holmgren made a trio of blockbuster transactions, the Flyers are watching the stars head elsewhere.
