Flyers Daily with Jason Myrtetus: In our last episode we discussed the Level of Concern in particular categories for the upcoming season. In this episode we get the Flyers fans opinions and level of concern.  

Flyers Daily with Jason Myrtetus:  Discussion on 7 VERY important categories and the Levels of Concern Heading into a New NHL Season for the Philadelphia Flyers. LEVEL OF CONCERN: 2 Start of season for Travis Konecny   LEVEL OF CONCERN: 7 ATOI for Travis Sanheim reasoning if they are going to return to the playoffs and level up they have to somewhat monitor his usage in season but not to a detrimental cost in standings points. Sanheim just flat out means that much to the team, perhaps more than any other individual player.   LEVEL OF CONCERN: 4 Strength of the Goaltending Vlader ranked 8th by NHL Network last 3: 33 avg gp...99 total Woll last 3: 34 avg gp...102 total Kolosov has 21 games in the NHL   LEVEL OF CONCERN: 5 Martone in first full season   LEVEL OF CONCERN: 11 Power Play   LEVEL OF CONCERN:  8 Defensive corp overall Risto here and healthy variable, Jiricek??? Bonk ready or close to? Ty Murchison adds an element of hmmm. Maybe Mcdonald also. Benoit?   LEVEL OF CONCERN: 7 Last seasons injuries to both Foerster and Tippett

Flyers Daily with Jason Myrtetus: We drop the puck on another offseason week of Flyers hockey with Bill Meltzer and discuss the following topics and volley our opinions back on forth:   Who is the center for Matvei Michkov? Assuming Zegras is playing the center position also.   Assuming a solid training camp is David Jiricek essentially a D man that plays at least 74 games?   Could Hunter McDonald put the Flyers to the test for the third pair left side with Seeler?   I’m not sure how much of a shock it will be for some but I think Denver Barkey eclipses 52 pts. Too big of an ask on my end?   Flyers game up the 9th fewest goals per game against last season despite Januarys woes. Odd part is they were the 4th lowest goals against team in the metro.   Scoring first.  For them to go back to the playoffs they have got to score first with much more frequency than last season. You don’t dodge that bullet two seasons in a row.
