Philadelphia Flyers Look To the Future

General Manager Chuck Fletcher and his staff continue assessing his team's roster along with those of various other potential trade partners.

Claude Giroux, Derick Brassard, Justin Braun, Keith Yandle, Martin Jones, and potentially, Rasmus Ristolainen, if he does not agree to a new deal before the National Hockey League's trade deadline on March 21, could be moved due to their contract status. 

A cited need for high-end talent, increased team speed, and more assertive, if not aggressive play in all zones means that the roster adjustments that began last off-season will continue. That, along with the development of current and obtained prospects, will be geared toward putting the team back in playoff position by next season. 

It is a tall order. But there are enough pieces on the Philadelphia Flyers' roster, which include players (Sean Couturier, Kevin Hayes, and Ryan Ellis) who have missed significant time this season due to injury, to make a drive toward postseason access next season plausible if other efforts payoff between now and then.
