Previewing the Philadelphia Flyers’ Next Free Agent Class

As with many teams, the Flyers have a lot of players in the minors, or in other places, that are under contract. Some are depth pieces who will get called up in case of an emergency injury and may get a few minutes playing here and there but they really aren’t a major component of the team. Others are young players looking to make their mark and get a permanent roster spot.

Bobby Brink, who could make the roster this year, is one of the restricted free agents not currently on the roster. If he has a good season, be it AHL or NHL, he will most likely be re-signed. Other non-roster RFAs include defenders Will Zmolek, Adam Ginning, and Mason Millman. Of these, Zmolek and Ginning seem to have the highest upside.

There are four non-roster players who are under contract this year and will become free agents at season’s end. The first two are forwards Adam Brooks and Cooper Marody. Both have been depth pieces, but Marody was a key piece in the Phantoms’ playoff push last year. Victor Mete is the lone defender. The final player on this list is Russian goaltender Ivan Fedotov, and who knows how that will play out.
