5 free agents who could still make the Flyers better

The Philadelphia Flyers may have missed out on the biggest upgrade they could have in Leo Carlsson, but there is still some room for improvement — maybe just ever so slightly.

But with some down time, what better way to celebrate the greatness of the Flyers franchise than to go in alphabetical order (surnames only) and laud the greatness of 26 (well a few more than that with ties and honorable mentions) of various ...
