*The first weekend of free agency was, in fact, a bit of a frenzy, but there wasn’t a lot of noise made by the Flyers. In fact, just one tiny little peep. In the form of a guy almost certainly headed to Allentown. [BSH]
*The Flyers lost someone too, as Tyler Pitlick hit the market and moved on from the team. A bit of a bummer; Pitlick was a nice little piece of that bottom six. [NBC Sports Philly]
*But despite a couple of holes to fill and a bit of cap space to work with, Chuck and co. are taking a patient route, looking for the right fit for the team rather than spending big on a big name. Fans seem upset that the Flyers missed out on guys like T.J. Brodie and Torey Krug, but the doors to improvement aren’t closed. [Inquirer]
*In that vein, let’s take a look at who is left in the free agent field. [ProHockeyTalk]
*You folks probably think the Flyers should’ve done something though, eh? [NBC Sports Philly]
*Anyhoo, here’s a full rundown of every single move that was made over the weekend, should you need to catch up. [TSN]

*And finally, Frank Seravalli’s most recent Trade Bait list featured a new entry from your Philadelphia Flyers: Travis Konecny. You know what? Let’s just not, okay? [BSH]
