The Christian Dvorak Era in Philadelphia is here to stay, for better or — more likely — for worse. Rumors have been swirling for weeks surrounding Dvorak’s potential next contract with the Flyers, and it never seemed like a great idea to extend the forward. When it started gaining traction as a five-year deal? It got even worse.
