The Flyers are starting to get healthy, and with that comes some tough decisions, “We’re going to have some decisions to make,” Mike Yeo said following practice. What are some of his tough decisions?
The first is to whether play Morgan Frost on Saturday if Derick Brassard is able to play. Yeo is uncertain of Brassard’s availability for Saturday, and may know more following practice tomorrow. I am sort of surprised that Yeo is considering benching or shipping Frost back to Lehigh, in the event Brassard is healthy. Chuck Fletcher indicated to the media earlier in the season that he did not want Frost to become a “Yo-Yo,” rather Fletcher wanted Frost to get recalled and stay up for good. He is not playing bad hockey right now, although he is not producing.
What’s kind of shocking, is that Yeo praised this young Center in Frost following Tuesday night’s game saying he played rather well on the power play. This is why some fans are questioning the developmental staff for the Flyers, and rightfully so.
Frost should stay up with the Flyers for good, as this is a dark season in Flyers history. They have nothing to lose at this point, other than hindering his development or growth for that matter in the NHL.
Joel Farabee is finally 100% and he says he is not intimidated with taken hits. Yeo and Farabee both say he will play Saturday, and this would be a huge boost to a team that certainly needs any type of positivity right now.

Carter Hart says he is ready to go, “I feel a lot better.” He will be the starter between the pipes for the Flyers on Saturday, no question about that. How the rest of the season plays out is anyone’s guess, but let’s hope that the Flyers end their six game losing streak Saturday afternoon.
