The fanbase has been met with surprising news of Matt Niskanen leaving and the panic begins to fill the internet airwaves. The recent retiring of Niskanen has left a void in the Flyers locker room and everyone can feel it. However, this has always been a young team growing together and while Niskanen was a great addition to the team, he was never part of the long term plan. It showed in the Flyers response to free agency as they sat patiently, avoiding the inflated prices, until later signing offensive d-man Erik Gustafsson. A move that surprised most fans as the they watched Ghost sit on the bench for long stretches of the season. Add the short term Nolan Patrick resigning and the Flyers' fans might not feel like they have a lot to build on going into the 2020-21 season. However, this is has always been about building from within. Lindblom is back, Myers is on the verge of being resigned, and the young core has new additions to get excited about. With Yegor Zamula, Wyatte Wylie, Wade Allison, Tanner Laczynski, and Linus Sandin all joining the pro's developing the talent from within is the name of the game. This is what the Flyers worked so hard to create and it's time to leverage it.On this weeks episode of the Gettin Gritty Wit It podcast, Yariv welcomes special guest, ‎Colby Cohen, a former NCAA, AHL, and NHL athlete who is currently featured between periods on NBC Sports.
