Flyers’ biggest mistake so far in 2026 NHL free agency

The Philadelphia Flyers were a new team last season. After years of treading water and finishing out of the playoffs for 5 consecutive seasons, the Flyers finished in a tie for second place in the Metropolitan Division and made their way back into the postseason. Once the three-week Olympic break was over, the Flyers played […] The post Flyers’ biggest mistake so far in 2026 NHL free agency appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Ducks & Red Wings Linked To Blockbuster Trade

The Anaheim Ducks and Detroit Red Wings are two teams who have been all over headlines this offseason. The Ducks had to deal with a massive offer sheet on Leo Carlsson, made by the Philadelphia Flyers, as the Flyers beat out three other teams, who also made offer sheets to Carlsson this summer. Now, the Ducks are stuck paying Carlsson $18 million AAV, and now don't have enough cap space to sign restricted free agent, Cutter Gauthier.  In Detroit, captain Dylan Larkin asked for a trade at ...

Flyers’ glaring roster flaw that must be fixed before 2026-27 NHL season

The Philadelphia Flyers enjoyed a very impressive 2025-26 season under new head coach Rick Tocchet. Philadelphia made the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since the COVID-19 bubble playoffs. And they even won a series, taking down the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games. Ultimately, they ran into a juggernaut in the Carolina Hurricanes in […] The post Flyers’ glaring roster flaw that must be fixed before 2026-27 NHL season appeared first on ClutchPoints .

NHL Off-Season Rankings: No. 14, Philadelphia Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers come in at No. 14 on TheHockeyNews.com's NHL off-season rankings. GM Daniel Briere made some limited changes this summer, but they shape up as a stronger team than the one that finished the 2025-26 season. What does Philadelphia have to do to improve next year?

EA Sports really got the Flyers’ NHL 27 ratings wrong

While we’re twiddling our thumbs for the new Philadelphia Flyers season to start — or just have any semblance of professional hockey on our screens — some might opt to buy the latest installment of the NHL franchise by EA Sports for their respective video game console. It gives us a little jolt of excitement to get something hockey-related back in our minds once again as we gear up for several more months of Flyers hockey. NHL 27 isn’t out until September 11 but we’re getting little inkli...

As we draw toward the end of this exercise, Alex Bump comes in just outside the top five at No. 6.

One bold prediction for each Flyer in 2026-27

With the countdown to the season opener less than six weeks away, and training camp less than a month from starting, it’s a good time to see what might be in the cards for each Flyer on the roster for the 2026-27 season. But let’s push the envelop a bit, and set the bar a little higher than usual. Here then is one bold prediction for each Flyers player regarding the upcoming 84-game season. Some might be a bit lofty. Of course, if every one of these predictions became reality, the Flyers would...

Philadelphia Flyers Continue To Make Trade Offers

The Philadelphia Flyers have had quite the offseason, and there's plenty of rumors going around that general manager Daniel Briere has been working the phones. According to multiple reports, the Flyers are shopping for defencemen, and recently, have been very aggressive with their trade offers. Briere turned the NHL on it's head this summer by signing Leo Carlsson to a lucrative offer sheet, and reportedly since, has been laser focused on trying to land NHL proven blueliners. Marco D'Amico: R...

2 Anaheim Ducks Trade Candidates Linked to Cap Savings

The Anaheim Ducks are in a world of mess and now general manager Pat Verbeek is going to have to trade his way out of it. The Ducks waited far too long to sign Leo Carlsson, and while he was on the restricted free-agent market, the Philadelphia Flyers signed him to a $18-million AAV contract, handcuffing the Ducks in a major way this summer. Verbeek loves getting Carlsson locked up, perhaps not at $18 million per season, but the main concern now becomes Cutter Gauthier. The restricted free-ag...

Friday Morning Fly By: And now, it’s 40

*The countdown thing is tired, right? I know. But headlines are hard in the dog days of August. Stop yelling at me! Anyhoo, every now and again one of these infernal ranked lists that we keep linking to says Good Stuff about the Flyers, and that makes it fun. For all of us! [ BSH ] *Speaking of the August dregs, we’re bored. So we’re doing wild speculation with a little side of ridiculous ideas. Don’t be so serious about it it’s fun. [ BSH ] *Shane Vansaghi won’t have Porter Martone ...

Flyers 2026 Top 25 Under 25, No. 7: Oliver Bonk

Breaking into the professional game last season, Oliver Bonk’s trajectory might have been a little stilted at times — through no fault of his own — but the work he’s done to continue to build up his stock has been undeniable. Already on the fast track to AHL graduation, Bonk is set to enter a critical sophomore year with the Phantoms this fall, continuing to polish out his game and refine his case as the Flyers’ next man up. No. 7: Oliver Bonk 2025-26 Primary League/Team: Lehigh...

Flyers’ drafting looks even better after latest rankings

Earlier this week, we looked at the four Flyers that Corey Pronman ranked among the best players under the age of 23 in the NHL. Now, after those rankings largely included players drafted in the first round, The Athletic’s prospects writer put out his list of the top 100 players under 23 drafted outside the first round of the NHL draft. While the Flyers have had a few questionable decisions in the first round, such as trading back to draft Jett Luchanko and trading up to grab Jack Nesbitt...

The Flyers could make the ultimate gamble with Toronto’s first-round pick

The Philadelphia Flyers have one foot in being a somewhat competitive hockey team and the other foot still in a rebuild. While they are coming off a surprisingly successful season, making the playoffs and even winning a round, they aren’t going to be going all-in on this current roster and think that they’re just a couple pieces away from hoisting the Stanley Cup in the not-too-distant future. It’s a difficult dance to perform and it’s extremely unorthodox in this modern NHL. We’re so use...

Thursday Morning Fly By: 41 days to go

*You’ll be shocked to learn that the BSH Photo Library, courtesy of the great Heather Barry, contains zero pictures of Luke Glendening. He’s so dynamic! Anyhoo, yesterday we talked about Corey Pronman’s latest ranked list, and today we bring you some detail about the Flyers that appeared. [ BSH ] *While we’re talking prospects, here’s a story on yet another one honing his skills at college. This time it isn’t some dumb state school, this time we’re talking fancy pants Ivy League.

4 Flyers ranked on Corey Pronman’s top NHL players under 23

We’re in the dog days of August, and we have yet another ranking that is generating some discussion. Corey Pronman, the senior NHL prospects writer for The Athletic, released his list of the top NHL players and prospects aged 22 or under as of Sept. 15, 2026. Pronman notes that his ranking is based on who he thinks will have the best NHL careers, so players like Zach Benson, who already has 101 points in 211 NHL games, may be ranked lower than you’d think. That also is an attempt to ...
