Flyers Brad Shaw Identifies Possible Problem Brewing Between Ivan Provorov and DeAngelo

The Flyers made two ''solid'' acquisitions, those two being Tony DeAngelo who the Flyers traded for, and signing gritty forward Nic Deslauriers. A concern was brought up about Anthony DeAngelo and is was surrounding his locker-room attitude, as it was a known issue when he played with the New York Rangers and he even got into a fist fight with a unidentified New York Rangers goalie, which media says was Igor Sheshterkin.

Another concern was DeAngelo and Provorov possibly playing on the same pairing, and being together in the organization as a whole. Provorov has recently showed his frustration towards the Flyers in a un-professional way, and media expected the two (DeAngelo/Provorov) to butt heads at times.

Flyers coach Brad Shaw identified a possible problem between the two, and thankfully it is not a locker room issue, it is a on-ice one. The issue is that DeAngelo and Provorov are both puck-possession first defensemen, and want the puck on their tape a lot. The Flyers appear to want to run both on the same defensive pairing as a ''lockdown'' duo to shut-down teams top lines, but it may be a problem.

They have been getting along off ice, which is great to hear!
