The Verdict is Officially in on Chuck Fletchers Amazing Signing

After playing in 45 games last season, Bellows, 24, hasn't scored a point all year. The first-round choice from 2016 looked to build out a small place for himself as a physically capable player who could contribute later in the lineup, but all of that has vanished this time around.�

He had a good opportunity in Philadelphia and played more than 19 minutes against the Pittsburgh Penguins last week, and even got an�opportunity on the Flyers top line, but he was unable to produce much of anything.

Right now, Bellows' contract status is the challenging aspect. The one-year, $1.2MM contract he signed in the off-season may result in the Flyers or New York Islanders cutting him go at the end of this campaign.

Konecny steps in for him,� des pite getting injured during�a game on November 17 , the 25-year-old forward is currently the team's second-leading scorer. He's on track to establish career highs with his 19 points in 17 games, and head coach John Tortorella undoubtedly views him as a top option.

Bellows has cleared waivers and will join the Leigh Valley Phantoms.
