*We are just about to turn the calendar page to September, and it sure feels like things are beginning to ramp up already. We’re still a little ways away from things kicking off for the Flyers, but one of their most intriguing prospects in Maksim Sokolovskii is already kind of popping off in the OHL preseason, which is fun.

The most divisive thing within the Philadelphia Flyers fan base is whether or not this current rebuilding plan is going to work. Instead of going with the typical rebuild in the NHL, where a team trades just about everything valuable on their team or any player over the age of 25, to then absolutely suck for at least three or four seasons, draft very high to get elite prospects and then build their new team around that, the Flyers did something much more unorthodox.
The Flyers decided to ...
The Philadelphia Flyers are heading into the 2026-27 NHL season as one of the league’s youngest teams and are coming off their first playoff appearance in six years. That is, of course, the Flyers’ entire situation boiled down to its most concentrated form and looking at that anyone would be highly anticipating what this team is going to look like for the next several months.
Porter Martone, Matvei Michkov, Denver Barkey, and Alex Bump is the group that is going to be at the front of ever...
The Flyers will most likely bring a bevy of players with them to training camp. Some of them will be there for a few days, getting a taste of what a NHL training camp runs like, and enjoy the experience before heading back to junior, or Lehigh Valley. Others will survive the first few cuts and be on the bubble to surprise the organization. And then there are those who are guaranteed to be on the club barring a calamity or some season-ending injury.
There are a handful of players currently...

It ended up being a lackluster offseason for the Philadelphia Flyers, all things considered.
The Leo Carlsson offer sheet ended up being a swing and a miss by Danny Briere and the Flyers, and while perhaps fans can take some joy in forcing the Anaheim Ducks into a bind, that ultimately does nothing for the hockey team playing in Philadelphia.
After getting Matvei Michkov to North America earlier than expected in 2024, and landing Trevor Zegras in a trade last offseason — along with s...

The post Why the Flyers Shouldn’t Pursue Connor Hellebuyck After Trade Request appeared first on Philly Hockey Now .
If some NHL team out there during a season didn’t have to do any roster management and their front office basically just kicked back and put their feet up as all 23 players on their roster remained healthy and were good enough to never be questioned, that would be pretty cool. Unfortunately, players get hurt and players also suck so bad that they need to be replaced.
For the Philadelphia Flyers, some of their success last year can be attributed to staying relatively healthy. Tyson Foerste...
We have a new Flyer on top of the Under 25 hill. After two consecutive seasons seeing winger Matvei Michkov as the cream of the crop, Porter Martone is now Philadelphia’s top prospect under 25 years old. Martone had a whirlwind 2025-26, but finished it off in a way you couldn’t even write a script for. We take a look at what made Martone so darn impressive, and what has us salivating over what’s on the horizon in his first full rookie year.
No. 1: Porter Martone

The Philadelphia Flyers returned to the playoffs for the first time in six years last season without a true star skater.
Before we get into things, the definition of a “star player” isn’t black and white. It really is a subjective thing. However, we can take an objective look at a subjective list of rankings.
Over the course of August, NHL Network put out its rankings of the top 20 players at each skater position — center , winger , and defenseman — along with the top 10 goalies. The...
With training camp getting closer, and the season opener a little over one month away, it’s probably a good time to take stock regarding what Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere did (and did not do in one circumstance) regarding the roster. There were a few things that were essentially filling up some cupboards in terms of their American Hockey League affiliate in Lehigh Valley. But in other instances, Briere managed to get a lot of business done at a time when some other teams ar...
*Welcome to last weekend of August, fam. Meaning September is mere days away. And what happens in September? Hockey, baby! That’s what! Anyhoo, what better on a Friday morning than to go through every single Flyers prospect and think about where they’re going to play this season. That seems fun, no? [ BSH ]

The Philadelphia Flyers are no doubt going to have an interesting 2026-27 season. They could make the playoffs and build off of their overperformance last season, or take a slight step back as more and more young players take larger roles and we look towards the future.
Part of looking to that future is getting a good look on some key prospects, but where are these prospects going to be playing next season?
In some act of organization, we’ve decided to compile a list of every single ...
It’ll be an interesting, quasi-make-or-break season for the Russian winger after a 2025-26 that didn’t live up to some expectations.
Matvei Michkov is entering his third season in the National Hockey League. And it might just be the most important of his young, blossoming career. After a 2025-26 campaign that got off on the wrong foot, and concluded with consecutive healthy scratches in the playoffs, it’s imperative that Michkov wipes the slate clean and gets going in the right direction ...

Lots of press releases today. Here’s one from the Flyers: The National Hockey League, in conjunction with their United States media broadcast rightsholders, ESPN, The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) and TNT, announced today the national broadcast schedule for all 32 clubs for the 2026-27 regular season. Philadelphia will be featured on the national stage a […]

There isn’t much going on in the hockey world in August, but Flyers fans got good and bad news on Wednesday afternoon — and it’s the same piece of news.
The NHL released its national broadcast schedule for the 2026-27 season on Wednesday, with the Philadelphia Flyers being one of the teams featured the most.
The Flyers will be featured on the national stage a total of 19 times, 11 of which are home games and eight on the road. This is an increase of five games from their 14 national ...
To be consistently in the top-five of these rankings until aging off the ballot means that Tyson Foerster is expected to be one of the key pieces of this new core in Philadelphia. Danny Briere seems to think so, as Foerster signed a 56.8 million dollar contract with the maximum term allowed on the day he was eligible for the extension less than eight weeks ago. It’s a risk for a player who has just two healthy seasons in the league thus far, but the talent is worth betting on, and the best is ...

The Philadelphia Flyers season has not started yet. We’re still dozens of days away from rookie camp starting, and then a handful of days more until we actually get to watch NHL players on the ice at training camp to truly get a sense that the season is about to start. But, for one key Flyers prospect, he’s already getting in some games and looking pretty darn good.
Yegor Zavragin is a name that has become more and more popular among Flyers fans ever since he was drafted in the third roun...
*The Flyers’ coaching staff sat down with Jason Myrtetus the other day to talk about all kinds of things, but naturally, there was a lot of talk about the power play. How to improve it, specifically. Because it stinks. Smells bad. Real bad. Anyway they seem to be pinning a lot of hopes on Porter Martone to do this. [ BSH ]

NHL news: Hayes is 34 now. He played his last two NHL years for the Penguins but only featured in 28 games this past season and wasn’t used in the playoffs. It would have made for a semi-storyline if he was on the ice against the Flyers, who gave him a seven-year contract worth $50 […]

As we enter into the home stretch of the Top 25 under 25, we meet our highest ranked defender in the smooth skating, surprisingly solid, Jamie Drysdale.

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...
