The 2018 Flyers camp and preseason has begun, and it's been very exciting to watch! While the core of this team will be returning this season, we are still looking to see the youth develop in the coming months. To take us through some of the storylines we've been following during Flyers camp and the preseason, Brooke Destra from TheDailyPuck.com joined us for an in-depth interview this week.
But first, on the Brief News & Views segment:
1. The Sixers hired Elton Brand as their new GM. (6:05)
2. Eagles Talk: Carson Wentz's return, Josh Adams was promoted, and the Eagles signed Jordan Matthews. (14:50)
3. Harper and Machado to the Phillies in the offseason? (34:00)
Then we get into our Up or Down segment where we briefly analyze Philly sports figures to determine if their needle is moving up or down. (37:40)
What we're throwing down on the Table this week is a discussion with first-time guest of the pod, Brooke Destra from TheDailyPuck.com. First, we dove into whether we're looking at this coming Flyer's season as more of a transition year or a progression type of year. From there, we discussed the first impressions of Morgan Frost and Isaac Ratcliffe, as well as Mikhail Vorobyev being a standout thus far in camp. What's Nolan Patrick's ceiling this season, and how will the pairing of Provorov and Gostisbehere continue to progress in terms of the team's offense? All of this and much more this week as we discussed this Flyers team at length. (40:55)
