Season Preview: Philadelphia Flyers depth chart

theScore is previewing each team leading up to the 2016-17 season.

The Philadelphia Flyers are largely the same team they were in 2015-16, when they snuck into the playoffs as the second wild-card team in the Eastern Conference before being dispatched by the Washington Capitals in six games.

Brayden Schenn is back on a new four-year deal, and Dale Weise joins the club after being signed as a free agent on July 1.

Forwards

• Weise gives the team some flexibility on the wing, and he's proven he can play a top-six role if necessary.

Defense

• Gostisbehere went on an incredible run of offensive production toward the end of last season and looks more than comfortable in the top four.
• Ivan Provorov, the Flyers' seventh overall pick in 2015, could also work his way into the picture on the Philadelphia blue line.

Goalies

• Mason is still the starter, but Neuvirth outplayed him (albeit in a smaller sample size) last season. He's proven to be a reliable replacement when Mason falters.
