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 ...

*It continues to be Peak Rumors Season around here — and everywhere else, really — and this latest trade rumor has huge embarrassing failure written all over it. Danny, do not. [ BSH ]

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...

It feels like every week we heard that some team or executive was interested in Owen Tippett . It makes sense– he’s one of the fastest skaters in the league, one of the hardest shots , and was the team leader in goals with 28. He’s got all the ingredients to make an elite player on a team-friendly contract for years to come. The speedy winger doesn’t turn 28 until February of next season, so he’s squarely in his prime with what feels like another level to reach. All of this comes together to m...

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.

Usually, whenever we get the pleasure of talking about a new, exciting Russian prospect, there is an inherent wonder about the naturalization process that their game will have to undergo once they start playing in North America. Ilia Morozov is not one of those players.
Coming up through the American AAA system and the USHL for the two years prior to his NCAA debut, Morozov has been playing on North American ice for much of his development. He burst onto the scene this year with a v...
*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 ]

JP Hurlbert has a very interesting story. He is one of the case studies that people will point out as someone who is getting new opportunities in the new landscape for NHL prospects that has been created because of the NCAA-CHL agreement.
Now that prospects can play in both the CHL and the NCAA — since before a couple years ago, a prospect had to choose just one path since the NCAA deemed the CHL as “playing professional” because of the little allowance players were given — we’re seeing m...
Just as the Flyers have been working on chipping away at their remaining bits of business, so too has their affiliate down in Lehigh Valley. The Phantoms have a little less on deck to tackle this summer, but they’ve got one of their more meaningful bits taken care of early. That is, the team announced this morning that they’ve extended forward Zayde Wisdom to a two-year contract extension.

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...
*Game 4 tonight for those of us enjoying (is “enjoying” too strong a word? Consuming? Perceiving? Whatever) the Stanley Cup Final. Big game. Must win for those Canes. Anyhoo, remember how all of us wanted to find a way to trade for Robert Thomas? Turns out the asking price was a little… it was a bit much. [ BSH ]
*It’s getting to be high season for the rumor mill but it seems like the current crop of rumors is drying up completely, at least for us. Like this Dylan Larkin thing is...
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...
We’re getting into a bit of a trend here, and after spending some time digging into a project winger last time out, we’re diving straight into our next one.
After some dramatics delayed his move from Finland to North America, Oscar Hemming got in for a key second half of this season with Boston College of the NCAA. A winger with some real size and speed, Hemming presents as a prototypical power forward, and while this season didn’t leave him with a ton of runway to show the completeness o...
The Boys wrapped up its fifth and final season recently. Showrunner Eric Kripke has exposed us to a plethora of hilarious and horrifying moments during its run, starting out as a faithful adaptation of a crude parody of superhero comics and evolving into one of the more impactful critiques of modern American society. Jason and I are going to discuss our thoughts on the show as a whole, but let’s start with the end. Jaypo, what did you think of The Boys finale?
Jason : While I had my issue...
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...
*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 ]

We’ve crossed into the second half of the first round, and it’s time at last to check in with NTDP winger Wyatt Cullen.
Something of a later-developer, Cullen’s game took a massive step forward this season, and while he still has some areas in need of polishing up, the flashiness of his playmaking game and the upside that lies ahead for him has made for a very intriguing package, and has brought his rise up the major draft rankings to a meteoric rate.

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...
Yegor Zavragin, the Flyers bluechip goaltending prospect and their third-round pick (87th overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft, appears to be switching teams in the KHL. And the move should be for the better in terms of his development.
On Saturday, Zavragin was sent from his SKA St. Peterburg club to Metallurg Magnitogorsk (HC Metallurg) along with Yegor Zelonov. In exchange, Metallurg sent back Alexei Maklyukov.
