According to Wayne Simmonds, Flyers fans will love this young man in Wisdom. He’s physical, plays with an edge, can skate, and pot big goals. Wisdom says he’s not afraid to get to the dirty areas to pot a goal.
Flyers fans this is the first of a few moves that will transpire this offseason. This is a good one, and finally Wisdom’s hard-work has paid off in a big way.
