Predicting the Flyers Third Line Center
The Philadelphia Flyers start playing preseason games on Sept. 16, and there are some spots still to be determined including that of the third line center. Possibilities for the Flyers' Third Line Center The two in-house candidates to fill the spot are Scott Laughton and Jordan Weal. Of course, there is always the possibility that one of the prospects has a great preseason and wins the job. Laughton played a career-high 81 regular season games last year scoring 10 goals, another career best, and added 10 assists for 20 points. Nine of his 10 goals were scored at even strength and he won 314 of his 604 face-offs, a 52% win percentage. Head coach Dave Hakstol trusted Laughton more in the defensive zone last season as he started 52.6% of his shifts in his own zone vs. 53.7% of his shifts started in the offensive zone in 2015-16. Jordan Weal is also in contention to be the Flyers' third line center come Oct. 4. He played 69 games last season and was a healthy scratch at...

NHL Rumors: Simmonds, Panarin, Tkachuk, More
In today's rumor rundown, the Flyers are realizing what it might take to keep Wayne Simmonds, some teams interested in Artemi Panarin might be presenting themselves and the Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning might be looking to make more moves. Flyers Realizing the Status With Simmonds Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post noted that while the Philadelphia Flyers have openly discussed their desire to re-sign forward Wayne Simmonds, they are starting to realize they may not be able to afford him. Entering the final year of his contract, the price for 30-goal scorers is high. In respect to being able to retain Simmonds, general manager Ron Hextall said, “Whether we can or not, I don’t have the answer to that." He added, “Long-term, we’ll find out in the future whether we get something done before training camp or going into the year." The consensus is that the Flyers are not willing to lose Simmonds for nothing, a trade market exists and the Flyers may choose to take...
