Flyers’ Rasmus Ristolainen is back on NHL trade boards

It’s completely unknown just how busy the Philadelphia Flyers are going to be this summer. They can be involved in a whole lot of trade discussions as they look to improve off of their surprising playoff appearance. Or, they might just sit back and let some prospects and young guys develop and head into next season comfortable with someone like Porter Martone being on the roster for all 82 games, something they didn’t get to have last year. But, one name has already appeared on a trade bo...

Adolis Garcia is trying to change. Should he be?

Opposition research: Roki Sasaki

They don’t hand out MVP awards for the NLDS. But I believe the most valuable player in the Phillies’ playoff series against the Dodgers in 2025 was Roki Sasaki.

2025-26 Player Grades: Bobby Brink eventually went over the edge

A few seasons ago, Flyers coach John Tortorella was reading Bobby Brink the riot act far more often than anyone would’ve preferred. Brink was trying to generate offense. Often it came at a price, namely cheating or not putting in the work in the defensive zone away from the puck. Tortorella quipped that Brink didn’t know how to spell the word “check,” let alone execute one. However, Brink turned a corner, and became one of the more dependable wingers on the Flyers. Along with Noah Cates and Ty...
