Philadelphia Flyers assistant general manager Brent Flahr spoke with the media Saturday afternoon after the 2026 National Hockey League Draft wrapped up in Buffalo. Flahr said the plan the scouting staff had going into the draft seemed to fall apart early on when the prospects they had targeted began being scooped up.
“Our draft board early on it was cleaned,” Flahr said regarding the two-day event . “We had a lot of teams calling trying to trade up to get our pick and it went radio silen...
It certainly feels like the Philadelphia Flyers are going to try to do something to change up their blue line — could that involve trading for Darnell Nurse from the Edmonton Oilers?
Nurse does have a full no-movement clause so he’s going to dictate where he ends up getting traded to after his time in Edmonton has almost certainly come to an end. And according to recent reporting, the 31-year-old defenseman has handed a list of just a few teams to the Oilers that he would be open to movin...

The Philadelphia Flyers could get aggressive this summer and it could involve getting the best defenseman to hit the open market since, well, Quinn Hughes less than a year ago.
Zach Werenski could be edging his way out of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 29-year-old elite blueliner is fresh off of a Norris Trophy win and by all accounts, is sick and tired of spending his career on a team that is rarely (if ever) in the playoff conversation. While it is expected that the big players in the l...
The Edmonton Oilers continue exploring the trade market for Darnell Nurse after the longtime defenseman requested a move earlier this month. While The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta has reported that he has four teams on his trade list — the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Bruins and Los Angeles Kings — another club has emerged […]

The first purpose of the NHL Draft is to get some young players in your organization and maybe get the next franchise cornerstone — or maybe get your giant 6-foot-8 defenseman that you hope is good enough to be a No. 4 — and improve the outlook of your team. The second purpose is having some good stories going on.
With the 53rd overall pick, the Philadelphia Flyers selected right-handed defenseman Brek Liske from the WHL’s Everett Silvertips. On the surface, it looks like a very good pick...
Don’t look now, folks, but it’s a run on goalies! After using their 62nd overall pick on Czech goaltender Martin Psohlavec, they took a bit of break until late in Round 4 and used their 120th overall pick to draft… another Czech goaltender.

After a wild — but not wholly unexpected — unfolding of events through the first round, we’re right back at it again today for the final six rounds of the draft.
