Flyers Must Act on McLaughlin | Philadelphia Flyers News

Owen McLaughlin, the 23-year-old center and seventh-round pick, is on the brink of becoming an unrestricted free agent—unless the Flyers act fast. After bouncing between North Dakota and Boston University, he flashed elite potential with nearly a point-per-game pace in college, finishing strong with Reading Royals. At 6’1” and 174 lbs, he’s built for a bottom-six role—and the Flyers desperately need depth down the middle. Set to play for Lehigh Valley Phantoms next season, his future hinges on signing an AHL deal; otherwise, he could vanish for nothing while another team scoops him up. A smart move for Philly? Locking him in—even if it’s just for the minors—could pay off big. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
