Flyers Let AHL Scoring Leader Go for Nothing
10 Mar
Summary
- Jakob Pelletier leads the AHL with 61 points in 50 games.
- Pelletier was signed to a multi-year deal for the veteran minimum.
- The Flyers' AHL team lacks forwards with comparable scoring production.

Jakob Pelletier, a forward previously with the Philadelphia Flyers, is currently leading the entire American Hockey League in scoring while playing for the Syracuse Crunch. This season, Pelletier has amassed an impressive 61 points, including 22 goals and 39 assists, in just 50 games. He was acquired by the Flyers in a trade but was ultimately allowed to leave as a free agent.
Pelletier signed a three-year contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning organization for the veteran minimum. Despite playing only two NHL games this season, he has found exceptional success in the AHL, maintaining a point-per-game pace throughout his career. His current performance highlights a missed opportunity for the Flyers, whose own AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, features only two forwards with over 30 points.
