Friday Morning Fly By: The battles will continue

Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes.

*We covered the forwards and defensemen on Wednesday, and yesterday we made sure to introduce you to all SEVEN goaltenders participating in this year’s camp. [BSH]

*The roster battles are underway and it seems like the Flyers’ brass want to give a couple of specific guys every opportunity possible to make the team. [BSH]

*One guy that regrettably probably won’t be getting that opportunity in this camp (due to injury) is Oliver Bonk. Which is a real bummer! [BSH]

*And now that we’re fully underway, what questions need answering? More than a few, of course, and these are some of the Big Ones. [Inquirer]

*You’ll be shocked to learn that this year’s training camp, the first since the Flyers moved on from John Tortorella, is much different than the ones run by the old coach. [The Athletic]

*So yeah, there are going to be some real battles for the few open spots available on this year’s roster. A lot of competition from both rookies AND veterans. Think any of the kids will be able to make the jump? [BSH]

*While Tyson Foerster has been participating at camp and will likely be ready to go when the season starts, it’s hard not to wonder if he might suffer a little bit of a setback as a result of the injury that hampered him this summer. [BSH]

*And finally, we’re nearing the end of the 25 Under 25 and up at 4th overall is the new guy we are all most excited to see on the ice this season. You’re definitely excited about it. [BSH]
