from Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News,

They aren't a particularly tough team to play against at the Wells Fargo Center with a 1-4-0 home record this season.

They aren't exactly an exciting team to watch, as evidenced by the growing number of empty, burgundy seats at home games. The most interesting thing about this season so far is that the 2014 draft is being held in Philly.

They aren't a fast team, despite being pushed to skate more and more daily by Craig Berube.

They aren't even that talented a team, just look at their 1.38 goals-per-game through the first eight contests and the numerous holes on their roster. They are more sandpaper than finesse.

More than anything, though, perhaps the most troubling fact about the current state of the Flyers is that their future is muddy. Who are they?
