NHL.COM - Commissioner Gary Bettman announced today during a press conference that the Carolina Hurricanes, New Jersey Devils and Arizona Coyotes would be relocating, effective immediately.
The Arizona Coyotes are to move to Seattle under the new name, the Seattle Pioneers.
The New Jersey Devils will move to Baltimore following the sale of the Devils to a group from Baltimore. Baltimore Admirals
Carolina will return to Hartford as the Whalers make their returns to the NHL.
The Philadelphia Flyers surprised many experts by sneaking into the playoffs last season and taking the Washington Capitals to the limit even without their starting goalie Steve Mason and defensive center Sean Couturier. Ron Hextall didn't make any waves during free agency, only signing Dale Weise and TJ Brennen to contracts. 2015 1st Rounders Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov are going to start the 2016-17 season in the Orange and Black after a very good pre-season for the two youngsters. This team might not be a top contender team, but do not count them out.
Offense: The Flyers' Offense runs through Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek. Both players had solid World Cup showing and that should carry over into the season. Sean Couturier(39 points in 63 Games) and Brayden Schenn(59 Points in 80 games) are another year older and both are coming off breakout seasons. The expectations are high for the two young forwards. Wayne Simmonds will continue to be a force during the powerplays and should reach 25 goals this year. Rookie Travis Konecny is going to start on the 2nd line and the Flyers faithful are buzzing over this kid. He is a firecracker that is extremely talented and vicious. The rest of the lineup will chip in goals with a potential third line of M.Raffl-N.Cousins-M.Read that could cause mayhem while scoring. Shayne Gostisbehere has high expectations after his unbelievable arrival into the NHL and Michael Del Zotto is healthy and should resume his top line role and both are expected to chip in on the offense.
Defense: The Flyers still have Andrew MacDonald hanging around, but the addition of rookie Ivan Provorov and the emergence of Brandon Manning has put Hextall in a bit of a pickle and with the wealth of prospects the Flyers have in the pool it'll be hard to keep them out of the lineup. Shayne Gostisbehere, Radko Gudas, and Michael Del Zotto will lead this defense. Wouldn't be surprised to see Mark Streit moved around the deadline, if the Flyers aren't in the playoff running. The 38 year old can still play and will be looked upon to help the younger defenders, but his role has diminished.
Goalies: Don't let the Flyers media sway you, this job is Steve Mason's and his to lose and he seems to be in mid season form already. Michal Neuvirth is an excellent goalie and the Flyers are lucky to have two great goalies. Neuvy could be a starter on a few teams and with one year remaining he may get that opportunity, but unless Mason either flubs or gets an injury, Neuvirth will see maybe 30 games.
Expectation: Continue the young development and challenge for a playoff spot
