Matt Carle News

This is the first of a 4 Part series I will be doing on the Flyer's Off-Season Outlook.

The opening of the 2012 NHL free-agent market is only a month away, and the discussions surrounding this summer's class of players is beginning to heat up.

The Philadelphia Flyers dramatically changed the look of their team in the 2011 offseason.

Even though the Flyers were eliminated in the second round for the second straight season, Snider is much more optimistic about the team's direction.

With only four teams remaining in the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs, the majority of front offices around the NHL have already begun preparing for the start of free agency on July 1. Despite the lack of superstar talent in this year's free-agent pool, there remains an abundance of high quality players that teams will pursue.

Still, some key offseason personnel questions remain. One of the biggest centers around the fate of future Hall of Fame forward Jaromir Jagr .

The Philadelphia Flyers ' 2011-2012 season was full of highs, lows, surprises, disappointments, and achievements.

Philly.com's Sam Carchidi believes that future Hall of Famer Jaromir Jagr is prepared to walk after only one year in Philadelphia, though it was Jagr's lack of answer that convinced Carchidi the right winger won't be returning to the City of Brotherly Love.

Six foot, 205-lb Matt Carle was born in Anchorage, Alaska. A Drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the second round of the '03 NHL Draft, Carle played in parts of three seasons with the Sharks before being shuffled off A to Tampa Bay in the 2008 offseason.

So where do the Flyers - after a very good regular season that morphed into a very weird playoff showing - go from here? Well, in a best-case scenario, they would become one of the NHL's best teams if they somehow signed New Jersey winger Zach Parise and Nashville defenseman Ryan Suter, a pair of prospective free agents.

We don't necessarily know when all of these injuries occurred, but we do know that five key Flyers were suffering from injuries during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Weber felt "betrayed" by Radulov: "I was one of the guys that stood up for him and wanted him back" PHT's Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what's happening and what we'll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

The Flyers have a first round draft pick! And we know about it more than a few days in advance! The Flyers will pick at #20 in the draft.

The trade market this summer in the NHL could be like nothing that fans have seen in some time.

The Nashville Predators have wrapped up their activities for the 2011-2012 season, but now is the time when the front office really gets down to work.

MATT CARLE kept his head down, carrying a bag of ice to melt away pain from a lingering, undisclosed injury.

Right winger Jaromir Jagr hinted he will test the free-agent market, and general manager Paul Holmgren didn't rule out the return of captain Chris Pronger next season.

The Flyers' disappointing exit from the playoffs has provided more than enough attention to Ilya Bryzgalov , but the rest of the team could use some beefing up for a potential Stanley Cup run next season.

Ilya Bryzgalov had plenty of time this season to babble on about bears, the universe, the woods, and other arcane bits of knowledge.

When the Philadelphia Flyers lost on Tuesday night to the New Jersey Devils , many fans wallowed in disappointment.
