The topic: Which Flyers player has the most to gain in the 2019-20 season?

In 2018-19, Oskar Lindblom showed his true capabilities when he played more and was featured alongside other talented linemates.

Over the final 36 games of the season, Lindblom scored 21 points with an average ice time of 16:28. His 13 goals during that span were tied for third most on the Flyers, ahead of Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek.

In 29 games prior to that stretch, Lindblom played just 10:38 a night, scored zero goals and collected three assists.

The 23-year-old should have plenty of opportunity out of the chute in 2019-20. He looks poised to play on the third line with a center like Nolan Patrick and a decent goal-scoring winger. If he continues to produce, Lindblom could climb into a top-six role, like he did for parts of last season. He'll likely see some power-play time, as well.

With a quick start and even more responsibility, Lindblom has the chance to flourish in just his second full NHL season. The 2014 fifth-round pick is also set to become a restricted free agent next offseason. A big jump in production will make for a bigger raise.

Season No. 3 holds a lot of potential for 20-year-old Nolan Patrick.

When he is confident in his abilities, everyone on the ice knows it. He's able to drive play, pull out fancy shots on goal near the crease and often seems like he has eyes in the back of his head with some of the looks he had this past season. Those moments simply don't stem from luck, they come from skill.

While these are both flashy and effective, we've seen them happen only in bursts, and oftentimes he disappears within the depth of the roster.

Kevin Hayes is a key to the young center's success and will provide the perfect opportunity for Patrick to grow into his expected role. Without the stress of being a top-six forward, he will be able to maximize his strengths with a smaller amount of ice time.

Fewer minutes will also limit the risk of injury and it's vital that the Flyers see a full season of production. From a concussion that held him back his rookie year to an upper-body injury at the jump of last season that kept him out 10 days, he has not had much luck in that area.

If Patrick remains healthy, puts up solid numbers as a third-liner (around the 40-50-point range) and possibly sees time on the second power-play unit, he could very well be the depth needed to stabilize this roster from top to bottom.
