Since the beginning of June 2025, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere has made nearly three dozen moves. The majority of those were contract signings, while the rest involved trading and, in one particular case, a waiver pickup. Some of those signings were signing fairly simple entry-level contracts. Meanwhile, some trades were also of the minor league variety, giving players a fresh start with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms or a place to develop and get playing time. Overall, Briere ...
The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to turn a corner. They made the Stanley Cup Playoffs and won a round for the first time since 2020, and general manager Danny Briere has the team on the track to contention. It’s another key offseason for Briere and the Flyers front office, and that starts with the NHL Entry Draft in Buffalo on June 26. In each of the past few years, the Flyers had multiple first-round picks heading into draft night, and plenty of picks on Day 2 as well. However, ...
When the Philadelphia Flyers dealt Scott Laughton at the 2025 NHL trade deadline, it already looked like a good deal by general manager Daniel Briere. They received Nikita Grebenkin as well as a 2027 first-round pick in exchange for the longtime Flyers forward, a fourth-round pick, and a sixth-round pick. There were conditions attached to that Leafs’ first-round pick, though, and unless you’ve been living under a rock in recent months, you know how complicated things have gotten with that...
The Philadelphia Flyers are going to look for upgrades in certain positions. That’s one of the most obvious statements we can make — as a team that entered the playoffs and actually won a round, will obviously look to improve themselves to get back to that point (and maybe win two rounds) next year. But one of those areas in need of improvement for the Flyers is their blue line and they could be sniffing around a certain Edmonton Oilers defenseman that needs a new home. Darnell Nurse has ...
Detroit Red Wings’ goalie prospect Sebastian Cossa has been a hot topic of conversation lately. The 23-year-old goalie, who played […] The post Flyers Trade Talk: Should Philly Target A Detroit Goalie Prospect? appeared first on Philly Hockey Now .
*We got some actual, honest-to-goodness Flyers-related hockey news, as Danny Briere signed Phantoms favorite Zayde Wisdom to a two-year deal. Love to see it, people really love this kid. [ BSH ] *Danny B. has been doing a little bit of rounds with the media this week, and yesterday we got the details of his sit down with the fine folks at the Inky. [ Inquirer ] *Like we’ve said uh… every single day, pretty much, there are two things going right now: trade rumors and draft stuff. We’l...
Who will the Flyers add this summer? Is Beniers available? All that and more in this week’s mailbag.
It’s been a little bit since we’ve done a Philadelphia Flyers report card from the 2025-26 season. So, it’s time […] The post Flyers Report Cards: The Top Pair; A Workhorse & A Good Decision appeared first on Philly Hockey Now .
When the Philadelphia Flyers signed Christian Dvorak to his one-year contract last July 1, the idea was the Flyers were putting a short-term bandage on what looked like a significant problem. The center depth would still be an issue moving forward, but at least the Flyers had some semblance of an immediate answer to help Sean Couturier and Noah Cates carry the workload. The price of $5.4 million AAV was considered a bit steep, particularly for a guy who registered 33 points in 82 games la...
The 2026 NHL Entry Draft is going to be here before we know it. The scouting combine took place in Buffalo this past weekend, and we’re starting to get some post-combine mock drafts based on the information learned there. How much that information ultimately ends up factoring into teams’ decisions or not is another story, but the Philadelphia Flyers have been consistent in drafting based on at least one combine test. The Flyers have the 21st overall pick in this year’s NHL Draft. Aft...
The Flyers’ longer term goaltending situation is getting complicated. With reports coming down that an extension for Dan Vladar is effectively already in place , it’s clear that the Flyers feel that they really have something in their new starting netminder, but beyond that, the situation is less certain. The backup role is not quite settled, and the Flyers have a couple of prospects in Aleksei Kolosov and Carson Bjarnason who are still chipping away at it in the AHL, but don’t look nearly rea...
The NHL Draft Combine in Buffalo is officially over, which means the next step is the 2026 NHL Draft on […] The post Flyers Draft Talk: Weighing the Post-Combine Options; Trade Up or Sit Tight? appeared first on Philly Hockey Now .
It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Flyers were in deep trade talks with the St. Louis Blues about center Robert Thomas before last year’s deadline. They need to get a top-line center somehow and Thomas was seen as a fairly perfect fit. But now we know exactly what St. Louis wanted in return and there’s a reason why the deal didn’t happen. On paper, Thomas really is the perfect fit for the Flyers. He’s a 26-year-old, right-handed center that can skate extremely well and has regularly put...
Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reported Thursday that Dylan Larkin has requested a trade from the Detroit Red Wings , and within hours the Philadelphia Flyers emerged as one of the potential landing spots. Two team sources confirmed to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Mike Sielski that the Flyers have strong interest in Larkin. The caveat arrived just as quickly. Larkin is not currently believed to consider Philadelphia among his top preferred destinations. Who Larkin Is and Why the Market Is...
*We’ll kick things off with a bit of news, as the Flyers were able to knock out some business and get one of their depth centers signed to an extension. [ BSH ] *And then in more broad news, just as it looked like the market for a Larkin trade was heating up, the Flyers might just have found themselves out of the hunt for that one. [ BSH ] *Of course, that might not be the worst thing for the Flyers? Let’s dig into the counterargument a bit, shall we? [ BSH ] *Some would still a...
Detroit Red Wings center and captain Dylan Larkin’s trade request has drawn league-wide attention, but his destination options appear highly constrained due to his full no-movement clause, which gives him authority over where he can be dealt. Larkin has provided Detroit with a “short list” of acceptable teams, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.

The 2026 NHL Draft isn’t starting for a few weeks but we might as well skip the whole process because we know who the Philadelphia Flyers are going to be selecting with the first-round pick at 21st overall already. They’re just making it so obvious. Saturday was the final day of the 2026 NHL Draft Combine, as all the top prospects came down to Buffalo to speak with any team remotely interested in them, hop on a bike, lift some weights, make some jumps, throw up a little bit in a garbage c...
The Philadelphia Flyers have been linked to quite a few potential trade targets recently. After the team bolstered its center depth by adding Trevor Zegras and Christian Dvorak last offseason, they’re now focused on getting a pivot who can play atop the lineup, or at least has the potential to do so. We’ve talked about Mason McTavish, Mat Barzal, and Matty Beniers over the last week or so, but those all went to the side on Thursday afternoon when it was reported that Dylan Larkin is reque...
The Philadelphia Flyers made strides as a team this past 2025-26 season, snapping their playoff drought and winning a series against the Penguins in round one. Although the sweep to Carolina might have left a bitter taste, it was a season with a lot of promise and positives. Some of those pluses came in the form of recognition by the Professional Hockey Writers Association (PHWA) and others around the league who gave some nods to Flyer players (and a coach). While the Flyers are still looking ...
This week, the NHL is holding the Draft Combine as a showcase of the draft class’ skills and physical traits. Typically, this is a week where we start to get an idea of what players are on each team’s boards, as the players that the teams speak with are often made public. The Flyers are no different, as we’re starting to get an idea of the players the Flyers may like at No. 21. According to the Inquirer’s Jackie Spiegel, here are a list of the players the Flyers met with at the Comb...
Every single team in the NHL follows the same path from taking their foot off the gas just ever so slightly to rebuild — in an either tear-it-all-down sort of way or just making some key trades to set them on the right course — but it is the end result that truly matters. Some period of not being competitive at all, to varying degrees, which is then hopefully followed by a longer stretch of time where the team is competitive and potentially even contending for the Stanley Cup. The Philade...
