The Anaheim Ducks have gone from one of the best set ups under the salary cap, to an absolute disaster situation, all in the span of two months. The Philadelphia Flyers inked Leo Carlsson to an $18 million AAV offer sheet, and now the Ducks are stuck paying their former top pick the most money in the NHL. This has really jammed up general manager Pat Verbeek, who is trying to re-sign Cutter Gauthier to a long-term contract extension, and now Verbeek is trying to trade off some salary to make e...
The Flyers are less than a month away from training camp, and just under three weeks from seeing the Rookie Series taking place in Lehigh Valley. But in a special roundtable interview with Flyers Daily which was released Monday , the Flyers coaching staff stated that winger Porter Martone is going to be part of Philadelphia’s power play this season, and perhaps the catalyst that could start changing things for the better regarding that side of special teams.
And assistant coach Jaroslav “...
*Can you believe next week is September? It feels unbelievable. The unrelenting passage of time, amirite? Anyhoo, as we inch closer to things like training camp and preseason and such, have a look at this dive into the Flyers as a whole and how they plan to take a step forward after finally getting back into the playoffs last season. [ Flyers ]
*One guy in particular that we’re looking forward to seeing take a step forward during this upcoming season is Denver Barkey, who impressed the he...
The last couple of years for Heikki Ruohonen have been, if nothing else, active. The center, drafted by the Flyers in fourth round of the 2024 draft, has certainly been racking up the miles travelled — having moved on from his playing career in Finland at the close of his draft year, his journey took him for a brief sojourn to Muskegon of the USHL before, with detours to represent his country on the international stage interspersed, landing at Harvard, where he’s just wrapped up his freshman y...
The final week of Top 25 Under 25 ranking is unfolding before us, and we’re moving into the top-5 with Denver Barkey. One of the Flyers’ more underrated prospects, he made an immediate high impact for the Phantoms in his rookie season and earned a quick recall to the big club, but the next challenge lies ahead — now that he’s tasted the NHL job, he works to keep it.
No. 5 Denver Barkey

It's been nearly two months since the Philadelphia Flyers turned the hockey world on its ear by signing Leo Carlsson to an astronomical offer sheet of an $18 million AAV over five years. The Anaheim Ducks matched, but the seismic effects have been felt on contracts across the league. One of the seemingly more difficult negotiations still ongoing, is the Columbus Blue Jackets trying to get their own first-line center, and the man selected right after Carlsson, at #3 in the 2023 NHL Draft,...

The Philadelphia Flyers were a new team last season.

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 ...

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?
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.

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...
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...
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...
