Could the Flyers Contend for the Stanley Cup in 2020?
With October rapidly approaching and offseason moves are beginning to slow down one begins to wonder the chances of the Flyers making the playoff, and of course, taking a stab at Lord Stanley.
Sportsbook put out the odds of all teams winning the Stanley Cup and Flyers have 28-1 odds of being the league’s best team. This is really not that shocking after the inconsistencies of last year.
The Flyers have improved in many areas that they needed. This offseason has been highlighted with improvements at the center position as well as defense. Flyers hopefully also have a number one goalie set in stone and the goalie carousel that has been rotating for years can finally come to a stop. The Flyers still have a line up with a large firepower potential. But can the Flyers find the consistency required to get a playoff berth and make a deep run?
Along with Flyers improvement, the rest of the division has also improved. Some big names have moved into the division making the Flyers road to the playoffs that much harder. The Devils once again somehow squeaked out the first overall pick from the lottery and traded for P.K Subban a quick offensive d-man that can take over a game. The Rangers defense also improved acquiring Jacob Trouba. One of the toughest divisions in the league seemed to get a lot tougher this offseason.
In the end, who knows what the Flyers are going to do. They seem to be taken steps in the right directions and have potential but they have had the potential for some time now. Fans are just going to have to wait and see if the Flyers can finally put it together in the 2019-2020 season and ultimately win it all.’
