According to Kurz, the Flyers have no intentions of bringing in anyone on a professional tryout agreement for the team\u2019s training camp.<\/p>\n<p>The news isn\u2019t surprising, considering the Flyers have a fairly saturated forward core, and many of the top remaining free agents play up front. However, it is interesting that Philadelphia isn\u2019t interested in different possibilities regarding their defensive core, especially on the right side.<\/p>\n<p>If the Flyers aim for balanced handedness on defense, they have set themselves up to give bottom-pairing minutes to defenseman <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/j\/juulsno01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-09-11_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Noah Juulsen<\/a><\/strong>, who signed a one-year, $900K contract with Philadelphia at the start of free agency. Given that he\u2019s coming off a season-ending injury and didn\u2019t play particularly well prior, Juulsen isn\u2019t expected to raise the Flyers\u2019 competitiveness level significantly.
