The Flyers are just on fire here as of late. They are currently riding an eight game winning streak, and are 18-5-2 in their last 25 games played. Quite impressive if I say so myself. Without further delay, here are our answers to your questions.
Oskar Lindblom is doing well in regards to his treatment, and continues to progress. He feels good, “He feels great,” Chuck Fletcher said at the end of February, “The doctors are thrilled, the treatments have gone as well as they could go, they seem optimistic and Oskar does too.”
These are good reports for sure, so let’s hope Oskar continues to do well. It’s always good seeing him around the locker room, as this shows he’s doing good, at least on that particular day. Of course, as always still pray for Oskar, and remain #OskarStrong.
The good thing is Scott Laughton will not need protection this go around. He will be a UFA at the end of the 2020-21 season, thus making him ineligible to protect. The Flyers should use the 7-3-1 protection method:
Forwards
Claude Giroux (NMC)
Kevin Hayes (NMC)
Sean Couturier
Travis Konecny
Oskar Lindblom
Nolan Patrick
Nicolas Aube-Kubel
Defense
Ivan Provorov
Travis Sanheim
Philippe Myers
Goalie
Carter Hart
This was a great question, even though, it already transpired due to the unfortunate broken right index finger to JVR. In my opinion, Joel Farabee shouldn’t have been sent back last Sunday, although, I do understand why Chuck Fletcher did indeed send him back. Farabee is up for good now for sure.

I don’t think theFlyers need to protect Patrick or Lindblom due to health concerns
