Ratcliffe was waived by the Flyers on Friday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
Ratcliffe is just 23 years old and picked up four points through 10 top-level appearances as a rookie last year, so there's a chance he'll get claimed off waivers. If not, look for him to be assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley.

Flyers' Isaac Ratcliffe: Scores in professional debut Friday
Rotowire
Making his professional debut Friday, Ratcliffe scored a goal in AHL Lehigh Valley's 5-2 win over Bridgeport.
The Flyers were so thrilled that Ratcliffe fell to them with the 35th overall pick last June that they signed him to an entry-level deal less than six weeks later. The hulking winger responded with a 41-goal campaign for OHL Guelph this past season. Ratcliffe has ridiculous size (6-foot-5, 205 pounds) and a sweet set of mitts. He remains a couple years away from NHL duty, but Ratcliffe gives the Flyers another potential impact prospect in their loaded farm system.

Flyers' Isaac Ratcliffe: Earns ELC
Rotowire
Ratcliffe signed an entry-level contract with the Flyers on Thursday.
The 6-foot-6 winger fashioned 67 points (33 goals, 34 assists) over 113 games between the last two seasons with the OHL's Guelph Storm. Philadelphia realized his potential and selected him in the second round (35th overall) of this year's draft. He is just 18 years old, though, so fantasy owners should view him only as a keeper/dynasty option this early in his career.
