"The Philadelphia Flyers will be making some tweaks during the offseason, while the team doesn't need much help on offense, they definitely need some help on the defensive side of things. One area the Flyers are expected to look at and improve on is the team's penalty kill. The team's PK unit was absolutely disastrous this season as they ranked 29th out of 31 teams only ahead of the Montreal Canadiens and New York Islanders, two teams that didn't make the playoffs. The Flyers 74.1% success rate was far from Los Angeles' 85.0% success rate which led the league. Bill Meltzer pointed out the in house options aren't exactly the strongest so they should look at the free agent market. Meltzer pointed out specifically Michael Grabner, Riley Nash and Antoine Roussel as possible UFA signings to help the team.
I'd think players like Michael Grabner, Riley Nash, or even Antoine Roussel could be of UFA interest toward PK boost. Oskar Lindblom has played PK in AHL. Nic Aube-Kubel might. Perhaps Taylor Leier works way back onto NHL PK.
