We’re continuing to chip away at our season reviews around here, but before we get too deep into dissecting the seasons of some of the Flyers’ top contributors, it’s worth taking a bit of an intermission to remind ourselves of all of the work that the supporting cast did around them.
The season is long, after all, and to keep the whole operation going, at times, contributions over the shorter term are required from players elsewhere in the organizational ladder. Some of these stopgap impa...

The post Flyers Trade Talk: Darnell Nurse’s Fit in Philly After Trade Request appeared first on Philly Hockey Now .
After parts of 12 seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, defenseman Darnell Nurse is reportedly seeking a trade. According to The Inquirer‘s Jackie Spiegel, there is mutual interest between Nurse and…
*Heck of a game last night, huh? The winning team is now just one single win away from the Stanley Cup. Very exciting! (Can you tell this is being written before the game has ended?) Anyhoo, in case you missed it, we got a little clarity on this whole Leafs’ pick situation that seems unnecessarily confusing because the NHL is ridiculous. [ BSH ]
*The Dylan Larkin saga continues, and perhaps Dylan Larkin doesn’t think the Flyers are the best fit for him but SOMEONE does. [ Inquirer ]

The Philadelphia Flyers have put Owen Tippett on the trade market. Tippett, 27, is signed through the 2032 season at $6.2 million AAV, and with the arrival of Porter Martone, Tippett's been pushed down the depth chart, and the Flyers could be looking to cash in on his strong season. The 27-year-old winger scored 28 goals and 51 points in 81 games last season, and owns a 10-team no-trade clause, so he'll have some say in the matter. Daily Faceoff's Matt Larkin recently had Tippett on his summer...
The Philadelphia Flyers are looking around in the trade market for a defenseman and according to reports are at least interested in Oilers blueliner Darnell Nurse. While it might initially make zero sense, there is a world where it’s a great trade for Philadelphia.
How quickly things change. Two out of the last three seasons, Edmonton defenseman Darnell Nurse was part of a team that went to back-to-back Stanley Cup finals, losing both times to the Panthers. Nurse, now 31, was eating up a ...
On the BSH Draft Board, we’re officially at the spot where the Flyers will pick on Friday, June 26: No. 21. The honor goes to Elton Hermansson on our draft board, a toolsy Swedish right winger who played the majority of the season with MoDo of the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan.
Hermansson is unquestionably in the second tier of this year’s Swedish draft class. Below Ivar Stenberg and Viggo Bjorck, Hermansson fits in a tier with defenseman Malte Gustafsson and Alexander Command in this c...

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 ...

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...

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 ]

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. […]
