Flyers general manager Danny Briere addressed the media after the National Hockey League trade deadline on Friday afternoon. Briere spoke about a number of topics including the additions the club made through trades and the waiver wire as well as those who were shipped out of town to other teams. However perhaps the biggest elephant in the room was the status of Rasmus Ristolainen, the veteran Philadelphia defenseman who was considered to be one of the top blueliners who would’ve been traded t...
After a relatively quiet deadline in which only Bobby Brink and Nic Deslauriers were moved, there has been some discussion on what is to come for the one real return that the Flyers received at this year’s trade deadline: David Jiricek.
The sixth-overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, taken one selection behind where the Flyers took Cutter Gauthier, Jiricek came into the league with sky-high expectations. He’s played in both the AHL and NHL this year, and it remains up in the air as to wheth...
The last month and change has been something of a volatile stretch for Phantoms goaltender Aleksei Kolosov.
His two-game showing on recall to the Flyers went poorly, ending with him giving up three goals on each of the first three shots he faced against the Rangers in mid-January, and being relegated to the backup chair for the remainder of his time up with the big club. He was sent back down for the Phantoms’ last game of the month, and though there would ultimately be another another re...
The Philadelphia Flyers’ 2026 trade deadline came and went without the team moving top trade chip, defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen.
Coming into the trade deadline on Friday afternoon, Rasmus Ristolainen was a very popular name rumored to be traded. The reported asking price was similar to the Brandon Carlo deal last year, which netted the Boston Bruins a first-round pick, a middle-round pick, and a decent prospect. According to multiple sources, no team was willing to meet the Flyers’ rumor...
There was so much hype and potential heading into the trade deadline for the Philadelphia Flyers to make a sizeable move for the future of the organization — to move on from a veteran piece that has been slowly accruing more value and becoming a better player. And, well, the Flyers are not going to be making that trade.
According to multiple reports, the Flyers are not trading Rasmus Ristolainen before the trade deadline. He will remain with the team for the rest of the year and the reaso...
The Flyers pulled the trigger on a trade before Friday’s trade deadline, sending fourth-liner and enforcer Nic Deslauriers to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft. Although the club didn’t make the announcement official, various sources confirmed the news beforehand.
There was speculation Deslauriers as well as defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen would be sitting out last night’s game against Utah as a “roster management” decision. Basically, you wo...
The Philadelphia Flyers are selling at the trade deadline, so far moving forwards Nic Deslauriers and Bobby Brink for, well, not forwards. To fill some spots they created in the lineup, the Flyers turned to the waiver wire.
Announced by multiple reporters all over online but not the actual team at the time of writing, the Flyers have claimed veteran depth center Luke Glendening off of waivers from the New Jersey Devils.

The Carolina Hurricanes added some grit with less than an hour to go until the trade deadline, acquiring veteran forward Nicolas Deslauriers from the Philadelphia Flyers , according to Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman. The Flyers will receive a 2027 seventh-round conditional draft pick , per Frank Seravalli, in a deal that brings one of the league’s toughest players to a Metropolitan Division contender.
Deslauriers had quietly been circulating in trade chatter over the past week as ...
After kicking off trade deadline day with a bang, sending Bobby Brink to the Wild in exchange for a really intriguing defense prospect in David Jiricek, the Flyers’ second trade of the day is a more minor one, in comparison.
The Flyers announced this morning that they’ve made a swap of minor league players, having acquired forward Brett Harrison and defenseman Jackson Edward from the Bruins. Harrison, in his third season in the AHL, has brought a bit for them in the way of offense — with ...
The Bobby Brink trade kicked off the Flyers’ Trade Deadline day, and there’s expected to be at least a few more moves in Philadelphia today – namely Rasmus Ristolainen, Nic Deslauriers, and maybe Carl Grundstrom. There could be room for a surprise move or two, though, and it looks like that may come in the form of a goalie acquisition.
On Daily Faceoff’s trade deadline show with Jeff Marek, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta went into detail on what the Flyers’ plans could be at the trade...
Porter Martone keeps impressing. On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Flyers’ 6th overall pick in 2025 scored twice for Michigan State, who defeated Minnesota by a final score of 7-1 to clinch their third Big Ten regular season championship in a row.
Martone opened the scoring just over five minutes into the game, finishing a rush chance with a wicked shot that beat the goaltender cleanly.

When Christian Dvorak was initially signed in the offseason to a one year, $5.4 million dollar deal, some eyebrows were raised. Over five million dollars for a player who has never hit 20 goals, and whose highest point total was 38, seemed a bit steep at the time.
But Daniel Briere and the front office were proved right in their evaluation when Dvorak came out of the gates on fire, serving as the Flyers de-facto 1C, and establishing a great connection with another new arrival in Tre...
The Philadelphia Flyers have made their first move of the NHL trade deadline, buying low on a former sixth-overall pick and giving up a young middle-six winger in the process.
According to multiple sources, the Flyers have traded winger Bobby Brink to the Minnesota Wild and are getting defenseman David Jiricek in return.

The Philadelphia Flyers and Minnesota Wild have pulled off one of the more interesting trades of deadline day, swapping young talent in a straight-up deal. Bobby Brink is headed to the Wild, while David Jiricek is going to the Flyers. Minnesota adds scoring help up front and Philadelphia is taking a swing on a former high-end defense prospect who still carries real upside.

The Philadelphia Flyers have not made a substantial trade yet this week, as we are now deep into the final 24 hours before the NHL trade deadline on Friday, but they seem to now be getting a whole lot of interest in their top trade chip — even more than just a day ago.
Rasmus Ristolainen is not certain to be moved, since his contract runs through next season and by all reports, the Flyers do not feel like they have to trade the 31-year-old Finnish defenseman, but now it certainly seems li...
Riding high on a three-game winning streak, the Flyers are back on home ice tonight, set to face off against the Utah Mammoth for their final game ahead of tomorrow’s trade deadline. It’s the last game before a potential new normal sets in, depending on how tomorrow plays out, and the Flyers will be looking to make a statement and keep this streak rolling.

The Philadelphia Flyers look to be making some kind of move to their personnel between now and the trade deadline Friday afternoon. Signing an AHL veteran is the tell.
The team is about to sign Lehigh Valley Phantoms veteran Garrett Wilson to a National Hockey League contract. Wilson was placed on waivers Thursday by the Flyers. If he clears (and it’s almost a certainty that he will), then the forward will be signed by the Flyers on Friday. Before the club made an official announcement, S...
While the Rasmus Ristolainen trade rumors were flying, another Flyer was quietly linked to a potential deadline move.
Bobby Brink’s name has come up in passing as someone that the Flyers could dangle as means to improve other positions of need, but until recently, there were no specific discussions taking place that would lead anyone to think that Brink will be gone before the deadline.
But with the deadline a day away, Elliotte Friedman tossed out a theory that Brink cou...
There is endless talk about who the Philadelphia Flyers might trade before Friday’s deadline and what they could potentially get back in a deal. Whether it’s Rasmus Ristolainen, Owen Tippett, or Bobby Brink — a whole lot of Flyers have been talked about leading up to the very important day on the hockey calendar.
But one name that has been under-discussed is veteran forward Nic Deslauriers. And according to a recent report, he is likely going to be traded by the Flyers before the deadline...
Danny Briere has his fingerprints all over this Philadelphia Flyers rebuild — he is the general manager, after all. The former fan favorite has received mixed reviews during his nearly three years at the helm, but he’s set out a clear plan and is following it thus far.
So far this season, the most noteworthy transaction was signing Christian Dvorak to an unnecessary extension.
After overpaying on a one-year deal to convince Dvorak to sign in Philadelphia, the Flyers then bid against ...

The trade action around the NHL is heating up as we approach Friday’s trade deadline. We’ve got a bevy of deals sending large, right-handed defensemen to teams that need them, some shutdown centers have found a home, and a whole smattering of trades still percolating around the continent.
While the Philadelphia Flyers have not gotten themselves involved yet with an actual trade, there are countless rumors and reports about their players. Rasmus Ristolainen is suddenly one of the top defen...
Breaking through the narratives, rating Rasmus Ristolainen's Flyers tenure, to date.
While the trade deadline creeps closer and Rasmus Ristolainen’s name continues to be floated in trade rumors all over the league, one of his main comparables has found a new home.
Tyler Myers has been sent to Dallas in order to join their playoff push, with the Canucks receiving both a 2027 second-round pick and a 2029 fourth-round pick in return. Vancouver will also retain 50% of Myers’ $3-million AAV cap hit on his contract that runs until the end of next season, in order to ship ...
