Win or lose, this could be Danny Briere’s last offer sheet for years
It’s July 8, and two days from now the landscape for the Philadelphia Flyers will be a lot clearer. Right now things are in an antsy holding pattern. The offer sheet to Leo Carlsson might have pushed Claude Giroux’s possible signing off the table, while kicking the extensions to Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale down the road a bit. If Anaheim Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek and his owner agree to bite the bullet and pay the 21-year-old center a whack of coin over the next 12 months, then he’...
What the Leo Carlsson offer sheet reveals about the Flyers’ future
In case you somehow haven’t heard by now, the Philadelphia Flyers have signed Leo Carlsson to a massive offer sheet . News broke last Friday that Carlsson agreed to the Flyers’ offer: a five-year contract carrying an $18 million AAV. If the Anaheim Ducks don’t match, the Flyers will land Carlsson, but it’ll cost them their next four first-round picks. Four first-round picks might sound like an enormous price to pay. And for a rebuilding team, it would be. But the Flyers are no longer in t...
Would you rather have Leo Carlsson or these 4 players?
The Philadelphia Flyers are completely frozen until they get word whether or not the Anaheim Ducks will match their offer sheet to star center Leo Carlsson. Nothing can be done without knowing if the 21-year-old Swede is going to be coming to Philadelphia along with his $18-million AAV that could make them pinch a whole lot of pennies for the rest of the offseason. Anaheim has until Friday afternoon to make their decision and we’re just waiting here, thinking of various reasons why the Du...
Another Flyers-Ducks trade could solve the Leo Carlsson offer sheet
It has been eerily quiet around the NHL since the Philadelphia Flyers tendered an offer sheet to Leo Carlsson on Friday. Pat Verbeek and the Anaheim Ducks are in the second half of the seven-day period they have to decide whether or not to match the five-year, $90 million contract for their 21-year-old restricted free agent. Of course, that contract is heavily front-loaded with signing bonuses to boot, as the Flyers wanted to add even more pressure to Anaheim’s ownership. While the d...

Noel Acciari laughs off past fight with Trevor Zegras after joining Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers didn’t do a ton on July 1, as they mostly added some depth pieces who will primarily play in the AHL this coming season. The one NHL signing they made was bringing in veteran forward Noel Acciari. Acciari put up 25 points (13 goals, 12 assists) in 67 games for the Penguins last season. He spent three seasons in Pittsburgh before signing this two-year, $5.6 million contract to join the Flyers. “Choosing Philly was an easy decision,” Acciari told the media on Tu...

Maybe it’s for the best Claude Giroux isn’t returning to the Flyers
Last Friday had huge news on two fronts. The Flyers, and everyone concerned with the team, are still a few days away from knowing the outcome of one.

After a report Friday indicated that former Flyers center (and current Sens forward) Claude Giroux decided to start another chapter in Philadelphia , those dreams were dashed Monday night. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman tweeted that Giroux and Ottawa were clos...

Ducks backed into a corner with Leo Carlsson offer sheet
The Edmonton Oilers and other teams in the Pacific Division should be sending flowers and chocolates to the Philadelphia Flyers front office.

Matvei Michkov is already putting in the work this offseason

It was one of the main talking points throughout the entire year — whether or not the last mediocre or bad performance was his last and he’ll turn the corner starting with the next game. It took a while for him to truly find his footing for various reasons but he did finish the season on a massive high as the Flyers’ leading scorer through the push into the playoffs.
