Flyers trim roster ahead of Lake Placid sojourn

Ahead of their camp relocation to Lake Placid, the Philadelphia Flyers trimmed their roster to 32 players thanks to the latest round of cuts:

Heading back to Glens Falls will be: Brandon Alderson, Jason Akeson, Mark Alt, Rob Bordson, Tyler Brown, Carsen Chubak,  Doug Clarkson, Nick Cousins, Steven Delisle, Cullen Eddy, Kyle Flanagan,
Cal Heeter, Tyler Hostetter, Andrew Johnston, Matt Konan, Maxim Lamarche, Matt Mangene, Brandon Manning, Derek Mathers, Tye McGinn, Mark Nemec, Marcel Noebels, Petr Straka, and the inimitable Zack FitzGerald.

Samuel Morin has been returned to his junior club in Rimouski of the QMJHL, while  forwards Tyrell Goulbourne (Kelowna, WHL) and Taylor Leier (Portland,WHL) were also sent back to juniors.

Defenseman Todd "Tony" Orlando was released from his tryout contract.

That sets up what everyone assumes is a battle for a roster spot between Austrian Michael Raffl and last year's early call-up Scott Laughton.
