In this edition of our 2023-24 Philadelphia Flyers player grading series, we take a look at 25-year-old winger Owen Tippett. He’s an interesting player to analyze given he has a very high upside but also some bad moments to go along with that.
One thing about the 2023-24 Philadelphia Flyers season has been clear from the start: making the playoffs was never the goal. The central message from the beginning of Daniel Brière and Keith Jones’ tenures as general manager and president of hockey operations, respectively, is that the franchise is committed to rebuilding the team the right way.
The Philadelphia Flyers have an interesting player in 25-year-old winger Owen Tippett. He has shown flashes of being a star, but his 45 points in 65 games, as someone who has already spent six seasons in the NHL, suggest he is what he is at this point — a second-line player.
