Samson, Gendron, Miller, and Wisdom all played games for Lehigh Valley last season, with Samson leading the way in games played with 63 and points with 12.

Wisdom, Gendron, and Samson are on entry level deals while Sedley, Boulton, Capone, Miller, and Chouinard are on AHL contracts. Mann played one game for Philadelphia's ECHL affiliate Reading Royals last season.

Chouinard signed an AHL contract in August after beating Hodgkin's lymphoma and returning to play last season.

Gendron, Samson, Wisdom, and Mann are all draft picks of the Flyers, while Capone was originally selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Lehigh Valley are loaded with forwards on AHL contracts and will have lots of depth to choose from.
