The veteran's presence on the blue line and in the locker room will have a big impact on a Flyers team looking to make the next step.
’s projected depth charts, which updates daily as teams go through their training camps, there are 16 teams with a younger projected defensive unit than the Flyers’, and 15 with an older group.
On the blue line, that means players who have made their NHL debuts like Ronnie Attard , Egor Zamula , Victor Mete , and Adam Ginning . But then there are younger prospects like Emil Andrae and Helge Grans, two 21-year-old Swedes who look promising. Given how Tortorella wants to use Staal, as a sort of player-coach combo, it begs the question of whether the Flyers might decide to start the season with eight defensemen on the 23-man roster. Typically, a team carries its 20 dressed players and scratches two forwards and a defensemen. But it seems like a real possibility the Flyers could opt to carry two extra defensemen and one extra forward.“I don’t know,” he said. “A lot shakes out with what happens with the forwards, too.
“He’s been through it all,” York said. “I remember watching him as a kid, so it’s kind of weird having him on my team now. He’s a great guy off the ice and you can just tell he’s been in the league awhile and just knows what to do at all times.” Staal and Sanheim were partnered as the Flyers lined up for scrimmages for the first time Friday and Saturday. It’s likely the Flyers want Staal to help unlock Sanheim’s offensive ability. Last season with the Panthers, Staal was partnered with Brandon Montour, an offensive-minded defenseman who had his best season of offensive production in his nine-year NHL career — 16 goals and 57 assists, his 73 points fifth among all NHL defensemen.
