Cam Talbot and Brian Elliott, veteran goalies who can become unrestricted free agents July 1, are among the candidates.

Shortly after he was hired, Alain Vigneault met with general manager Chuck Fletcher and discussed the team he was inheriting.

It will take a few years, or longer, to find out if what they did this weekend was fruitful. Based on draft expert Craig Button’s ratings, they did better than most teams.

Three of their seven picks were used on defensemen, including Cam York, their No. 1 overall selection. They also added another goalie to the mix.

Brink has a somewhat choppy skating style, but plays fast. He says he will work hard this summer on improving his speed.

Not only does the NHL draft draw more viewers than the MLB draft, some first round picks can actually make an instant impact in the league.

Despite so much hand-wringing about surrendering picks to acquire proven veterans, as he did in giving up a second-rounder for Justin Braun, Fletcher walked out of Rogers Arena with four picks inside the first 75.

York, who starred on U.S. National Team Development Program, was somewhat of a surprising pick because the Flyers bypassed highly touted forwards Cole Caufield and and Peyton Krebs.

He has already added a pair of 6-foot-2 defensemen and signed one of this offseason’s coveted free agents.

The Flyers probably have about $21.9 million in cap space. Here is how they could look next season.

Former Flyer Wayne Simmonds won the NHL's leadership award.

Will Matthew Boldy come off the board too early for Philly to take him?
