What can the Flyers count on from Philippe Myers going forward after a step-up season turned into a step back?
It all seemed to be falling into place for Philippe Myers His emergence from undrafted free agent to top prospect made him one of the most highly valued young assets in the Philadelphia Flyers organization. And even after it took him maybe a bit longer than expected to nab a full-time job with the big club, once he did in 2019-20, he quickly showed what he could do. By the second half of that season, he was locked into the teams top four. That summer, he was given top-pair usage in a game that ultimately ended with the Flyers earning their first playoff series victory since 2012. And after general manager Chuck Fletcher proved unable to replace the retiring Matt Niskanen with a suitable candidate from the outside, suddenly Myers had a clear path to Philadelphias first-pair to start 2020-21.He had the talent. He had the opportunity. He had momentum.
