The Philadelphia Flyers, one of the NHL's biggest surprise teams last season, now face the challenge of avoiding regression after a series of bold moves by their general manager over the offseason, according to ESPN.
The team's unexpectedly strong performance last season raised expectations heading into the new campaign, the outlet said, putting additional pressure on the front office's subsequent roster decisions to pay off.
ESPN's report frames the coming season as a test of whether Philadelphia's improvement was sustainable or whether the team will struggle to repeat its prior success.
Specific details of the general manager's offseason moves and the makeup of the current roster were not detailed in the material reviewed.
