Similar to the Buffalo Sabres’ announcement this morning, the Philadelphia Flyers have trimmed their training camp roster by three players. According to a public release from the Flyers, the team has reassigned forward Nathan Quinn, defenseman Austin Moline, and netminder Joe Costanzo to their respective junior organizations.
Quinn, 18, was drafted with the 164th overall pick by the Flyers in this summer’s draft. He has spent the last two years with the QMJHL’s Québec Remparts, scoring 24 goals and 55 points in 88 games with a -16 rating, highlighted by a 17-goal, 46-point output last year. Although he will play for Remparts again this season, he has already committed to Northeastern University for the 2026-27 campaign.
Moline was drafted a round lower than Quinn and a year earlier. The 19-year-old native of Las Vegas, NV, spent last season with the USHL’s Madison Capitals, scoring one goal and 21 points in 59 games with a +39 rating. Starting his development with the infamous Shattuck St. Mary’s program, the 6’5″ blue liner will again play for the Capitals this year, and has yet to commit to an NCAA program.
Meanwhile, Costanzo, 20, is the only one in the trio not to have been drafted by Philadelphia, and will leave camp without a professional contract. He has spent the last four years with the OHL’s Windsor Spitfires, producing a 75-49-6 record in 147 games with a .882 SV% and 3.76 GAA. Since he will age out of the OHL at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, Costanzo will likely have to settle on an ECHL or AHL contract or ATO should he wish to continue his playing career.
