While well before my time, from what I've read about Nolet, the best way to describe his play in his 10-year NHL career is
solid. He was a capable defensive player, often shadowing the top wingers and killing penalties, who could put up some good
offensive number offensively as well.
The Flyers acquiring Reggie Leach left him expendable, and the Scouts took advantage in the Expansion Draft. With that skill on
both sides of the puck and having been part of a Stanley Cup winner, he was a fitting choice for captain of the new team.
Basically, it was just laying the groundwork for things to come for the team and franchise.
Nolet eventually did return to the Flyers' organization, as he currently works as one of their scouts. If I remember reading right,
he was the one responsible for the Flyers bringing in Simon Gagne. Previously, he had also worked as a scout for the Quebec
Nordiques, as well as an assistant coach under then headman Michel Bergeron.
