More Signs the Flyers are going after youth
The first bit of evidence was the release of LeClair and Amonte. Then, the Flyers went out and locked up Jeff Carter and Mike Richards, two young blooders who they are looking to as the future of the team. Both players were first round picks in 2003. Now, the Philadelphia Flyers have traded right winger Todd Fedoruk to the Ducks in exchange for a second round pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. Now Fedoruk is only 26, not old by any measure, but still, it says a lot to get rid of someone who’s been in the league for 8 years in exchange for a future pick. The Flyers are building for the future.
So here’s something to debate. Are the Flyers primarily looking to build a young team for the future or are they simply reacting to the enw league contract and salary cap?
