Flyers set to call up young star who is tearing up the American Hockey League
The Flyers organization is actively assessing its depth and talent levels as the team navigates a rebuilding year. With teams showing interest in trades and being open to changes due to a disappointing playoff outlook, the Flyers have several players available for trade that could enhance other teams.
As the talent level diminishes within the team, there's a strong likelihood that General Manager Danny Briere and Head Coach John Tortorella will turn to the Phantoms to identify players available for the upcoming months.
One player is making a compelling case to be part of the Flyers organization this season and the next is Phantoms forward Samu Tuomaala.

The Finnish-born right winger, standing at 5'11" and weighing 190 lbs, was selected in the second round of the 2021 entry draft, 46th overall. His offensive output of four goals and 13 assists, totalling 17 points in 18 games, positions him at the top of the list of the Flyers' current best prospects.
Having a player of Tuomaala's calibre, coupled with the eventual addition of Cutter Gauthier and Matvei Michkov to the team, it's safe to say that the offensive talent will deepen and become more balanced.
With the Flyers holding a minimum of two first-round draft picks next year, and if the team continues to trade assets to acquire draft picks and prospects, the talent level for the team will further deepen.
