On today’s show, Russ & Rachel discuss the Philadelphia Flyers minor league deal sending JR Avon to the Seattle Kraken organization in exchange for forward Tucker Robertson. What went wrong for Avon, and what does Robertson bring to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms? Then we dive into the Flyers power play and chances for improvement this season. We look at the addition of Trevor Zegras, Rick Tocchet’s system & results in Vancouver, personnel considerations, and more. Finally, we name our Nemesis of the Week and ask this week’s listener poll on that very power play.

Drysdale will be the D on PP1
First of all, they need to commit fewer & receive more of them. They hesitate to shoot, they over-pass too much. Stop with making all the turnovers. It boggles my mind that any 5 players the Flyers put out on offense keep getting physically man-handled by the 4 players all other teams put out on defense.
It seems you mostly reviewed "same old, same old" players for this year's powerplay. That's natural because you have more knowledge of them. You make a brief mention of Andre and spent a bit more time on Devorak and Zegras. Maybe you should add a speculative segment about "new guys"? Could a rookie contribute to the PP? What would a powerplay look like with players like Bump, Luchanko, Grebenkin, etc.? Changes come from player improvement AND new faces. Even the rookies have histories and stats, although those are from lower level play.
