Flyers See Playoff Run as Start of Something Bigger

The Flyers are talking like a team that thinks the first breakthrough is only the appetizer. After making the playoffs this year, the message from inside the room is that the group believes it is on the right path and not just getting lucky for a spring. That is the kind of language you hear when a rebuild starts to believe its own outline. The real test is whether the next step comes from talk, or from a front office that keeps feeding the roster the right pieces.
