Ellis joined the Flyers ahead of the 2021-22 campaign and lasted four games before a back injury ended his year. He missed all of last season with the ailment and there has been no update on his condition since last December. It seems quite likely at this point the now 32-year-old rearguard has played his last NHL game. Ellis, who is on long-term injured reserve, has four years left on his contract at a cap hit of $6.25 million annually.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Offseason surgery may be needed
Interim coach Mike Yeo revealed that Ellis may need to get surgery on his lower-body injury this offseason, Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now reports.
ANALYSIS
At the same time, Yeo said that Ellis is expected back healthy by the start of the 2022-23 campaign, so any necessary surgery wouldn't be major. Still, Ellis' injury history continues to pile up, and he was limited to just four appearances in his first year with the Flyers.
