The 2022-2023 season for the Philadelphia Flyers can be succinctly summed up in one word: brutal. While it was widely expected that they would not perform well, as the team was poised to undergo a rebuilding phase, this summer showcased General Manager Danny Briere's efforts to dismantle a portion of the team with trades involving Ivan Provorov and Kevin Hayes, although much semblance of the team remains.
Despite the season's bleakness, there were still moments of brilliance in the form of highlight-reel goals scored by the Flyers. Among those, Nick Seeler, a key defenseman for the Flyers, stands out. Seeler's role will be pivotal this season as the team enters its second year of rebuilding.
NHL.com featured one of Seeler's remarkable goals in which he demonstrated exceptional skill and finesse. In the play, Seeler elegantly maneuvered through the Vegas Golden Knights' defence, ultimately executing a precise shot over Jonathan Quick's shoulder.

According to capfriendly.com, the 23-year-old defenseman is in the final year of a two-year contract, signed at $1.55 million per year. His modest cap hit of $775,000 makes him an attractive asset for any team, potentially serving as trade bait if the Flyers decide to part ways with him.
However, considering Seeler's ability to produce goals like the one highlighted, it seems unlikely that he will be leaving anytime soon. He will probably continue to be a valuable asset for the Flyers for years to come.
Standing at 6 feet 2 inches and weighing 201 pounds, his imposing physical presence adds to his prowess, making it challenging for opponents to compete against him.
