How about 13K fans turning out for a rookie game. Excitement is in the air.
I like the list of forwards mentioned. How's our D looking? Does Sanheim or Morin make the cut for the big club?Getting to know every forward at Flyers training camp
My prediction:
Flyers
Weal.Giroux.Simmonds
Konecny.Patrick.Voracek
Lindblom.Couturier.Weise
Filppula.Laughton.Read
Lehtera
Raffl gets traded before the season starts
Phantoms
Leier.Vorobyev.Vechionne
McDonald.Martel.Carey
Varone.Knight.Bardreau
Aube-Kubel.Hulak.Fazleev
Goulbourne
Rubstov -> Juniors
Korosenkov -> Juniors (w/ ELC)

I'm going with Lehtera-Filppula-Bardreau as the "4th" line, otherwise I think your lines look pretty darn good!
They certainly talk Bardreau up a lot. I'm just not seeing it. They can do better than him from what I've seen. Aside from being chippy, I didn't notice him much today. Lehtera played well though, that he had a nice game.
Read-Laughton-Raffl played together today. That could be a great 4th line imo.
Yeah, I wasn't particularly impressed by Bardreau (or Read) in the game. Raffl, Laughton, Lehtera and Veccione all looked good to me. And, so far it looks like Morin and Hagg are pretty clearly in the lead for the 2 d spots so far. Definitely nice to have some real competition for spots!!
