So prepare yourself for the next few weeks of writers trying to fill their pages with speculation and rumors and what-ifs and maybes.

Although they still have some business to attend to with the contracts of Hunter McDonald and Nikita Grebenkin, the last piece of negotiation for the Philadelphia Flyers this summer was with defenseman Jamie Drysdale. On Friday evening the 24-year-old blueliner inked a four-year, $26 million extension ($6.5 million average annual value), days after forward Trevor Zegras was locked up for the same amount of years but with another $10.5 million in his pocket more than Drysdale. And on Monday aft...
On Friday, Drysdale signed a four-year contract to remain with the Flyers that will carry a salary cap hit of $6.5 million.

There has been so much talk about the Philadelphia Flyers’ next move. After the Anaheim Ducks matched the Leo Carlsson offer sheet, now the Flyers are in some weird limbo where they absolutely went for it and wanted to get their No. 1 center by giving him $90 million, but coming up short. Now, their offseason has been more about slight improvement in key positions and getting some key players signed to contracts.
But, what can the Flyers do now? Are we going to see anything before the end...

There’s still about 10 weeks to go before the Flyers regular season begins Sept. 30 at home against Pittsburgh. Lots of things could happen between now and then. But if they don’t, and Philadelphia enters the season with essentially the lineup they have in mid-July, then there will be a few players who have a bit more to prove this year. Whether it’s a contract extension that has seen their value increase to the club, players who had somewhat disappointing seasons, or those who are starting fr...
Today was supposed to be the day that arbitration hearings started, but the two players that were scheduled were among the handful of players that settled on new contracts with their teams over the last week. Cole Perfetti signed a five-year deal with Winnipeg that carries a $6 million AAV. Jamie Drysdale also came to an agreement with Philadelphia on a four-year contract worth $6.5 million per season. He wasn’t the only Flyer to cut a deal as Trevor Zegras also signed for four seasons , but h...

The Philadelphia Flyers made Trevor Zegras the highest-paid player in franchise history, at least in terms of average annual value, with the four-year, $36.5 million contract extension announced on Wednesday night.
Zegras played on the final year of a three-year, $17.25 million contract in his first season in Philadelphia, putting up career highs in goals (26) and points (67) while also getting six points (two goals, four assists) in the first 10 playoff games of his career.

Anaheim Ducks GM Pat Verbeek didn't get Leo Carlsson signed to an extension last July when he became eligible. Or anytime before or during the past season. The Philadelphia Flyers swooped in this June with an unheard-of, record-breaking $18 million AAV offer sheet, and the rest is history. The Ducks were forced to match.

Flyers GM Danny Briere spoke publicly today on a Zoom call with media about his eye-popping move for the fi...
