NHL Division Outlook: Metropolitan

Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers are a team surrounded in mystery. They have some good talent on their top two lines, and really are not lacking role players. I feel that the problem for the Flyers is they are lacking on the back end. If the Flyers front office want to move up the standing they had better figure out how to bring in a top four  blue-linner. There is one other area of concern for flyer fans; their goaltender. But, that is nothing new for Philadelphia.
