The Philadelphia Flyers stand out from many other NHL teams due to their growing emphasis on youth.
With the guidance of Danny Briere and new leadership, the team has potential to become contenders if they establish a strong foundation and foster prospects' development.
Noah Cates, signed 2x$2.6M by PHI, is a pure shut-down centre who put up some pretty remarkable defensive results in tough second-line minutes on a crummy team this year. Will have to learn how to win faceoffs to get more Selke love, though. #Flyers

Recently, Noah Cates signed with the Philadelphia Flyers after filing for arbitration. His two-year deal comes with an AAV of $2.6 million.
If the team's focus on youth continues, could Sean Couturier be the next Flyer on the move?
Cates has already impressed both Tortorella and the team.
As a two-way center, he showed great promise in the past season and aims to further develop his skills for success in the NHL.
