Do they have any wings who can take and win those draws for Zegras? And then just go to your C/W spots after the draw?

What a great time to delve into how Zegras is faring at the center position! The research you did here really validates that Zegras is indeed a 2C, a position, before he was switched the Flyers did not really have. Dvorak despite his placement is a 3C, I presume. Cates actually is the 3C on this team, and Couturier is now the 4C, a position he is starting to excel at but being paid like a 2C and played their or higher until this switch for Zegras was made. While the Flyers still need a 1C, that is evident, they seem to have solved the 2C role which is also necessary. Zegras’ defensive numbers are impressive but it does seem that his goal scoring especially has suffered as a result. For how the Flyers are structured this is a necessary trade-off. Well done on the article I for one am glad that you took the time to produce, much appreciated!!
