The Flyers might not have to trade up. In a shortened season, a five/six game losing streak could put you out of the playoffs. A shorten season will benefit young teams like Edmonton and the Islanders who have many of their players playing together at the Ahl level and also teams who have many players playing competitively in Europe. Only one of the Flyers defensemen, Grossman, has played any competitive hockey so far this season. That unit was a question mark before the lockout. Bryz will have to carry the team in the beginning. Any injuries and this season could spiral out of control quick.
