Team: 2021-22 Philadelphia Flyers

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 3, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Yes Keith and Risto both are terrible defensively, but somehow in this world Philly has a good year in an even year.
Ellis can't replace Nisky even though the term on his contract is a little questionable. As long as Keith is played limited minutes, Justin Braun isn't playing top pairing minutes, Risto isn't playing too much 5 on 5, I think the blue line should be fine. I expect Martin Jones to get between a .900 SV% and .905 SV%. He has to. I mean it's basically for his career at this point. I do think Carter Hart will have a bounce back season and have numbers good enough for them to make the playoffs. (Remember his 2019-20 regular season numbers were good, but not outstanding). Kevin Hayes needs to have a better season, TK needs to score more goals, JVR and Farabee need to be more consistent, Morgan Frost and Oscar Lindbolm are the huge unknowns. Frost only played like 2 games and Lindbolm returned after missing over a year with cancer. I really hope Lindbolm can return to how good he was at the beginning of the 2019-20 season.
