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...
The Pittsburgh Penguins were one of the NHL’s biggest surprises in 2025-26, ending a three-year playoff drought after winning 41 games and finishing second in the Metropolitan Division. Although the campaign ended with a six-game first-round loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, it represented meaningful progress for a franchise that had spent the previous few years […]
The post Penguins rumors: Pittsburgh could re-sign Anthony Mantha under 1 condition appeared first on ClutchPoints .
It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Flyers are going to explore as many avenues as possible this offseason to try and upgrade their roster. Whether that is aiming as high as they can to nab a first-line center to solidify this forward group for the next few years as they push into being regular playoff contenders; or maybe just getting a solid defenseman who could be on the younger side, so that they can feel better about trading away Rasmus Ristolainen — which would also do the same playoff ...
The Philadelphia Flyers have locked in forward Jacob Gaucher for another season, agreeing to a one-year, two-way contract extension for the 2026-27 campaign. The deal carries an NHL cap hit of $850,000 and includes $280,000 in guaranteed money, with Gaucher earning a $250,000 salary while playing in the American Hockey League, according to PuckPedia. Gaucher, […]
The post Flyers sign center prospect to one-year contract extension appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Flyers are settled into their offseason already, but they’re still finding time to chip away at their smaller bits of business left on the docket. The most recent development for them comes with the announcement that they’ve re-signed center Jacob Gaucher to a one-year, two-way contract extension, which carries an average annual value of $850,000 ( per Puckpedia ) and covers the penultimate of his final two seasons before he hits unrestricted free agency.
OFFICIAL: We have signed forw...
With reports Thursday afternoon that longtime Detroit Red Wings center (and captain) Dylan Larkin is requesting a trade out of town , the Philadelphia Flyers might have found their top-line center essentially falling into general manager’s Danny Briere’s lap. But is it too good to be true? Are there some major red flags that come with a Dylan Larkin trade to the Flyers?
Of course, a few things would have to happen in order for Larkin to end up wearing the Flyers sweater for the next five ...
Gaucher appeared in four games with the Flyers in the 2025-26 regular season.
The Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights are the last two teams standing in the battle for the Stanley Cup this year, but the other 32 teams have their sights set on the offseason and how they can better themselves for the 2027 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Philadelphia Flyers were one of the 16 teams in this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs, and their odds somewhat reflect that for the 2027 Stanley Cup.

The Philadelphia Flyers have been linked to a few centers in trade rumors in recent weeks, and another center is reportedly demanding a trade from his team.
Elliotte Friedman reported on Thursday afternoon that Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin has requested a trade.
“There’s a lot to unpack here. First, should mention that no one would comment. Not Larkin, not agent Pat Brisson, not Red Wings Executive Vice-President & GM Steve Yzerman.
“Second, Larkin’s involvement i...
We’re just about hitting the true midpoint of the Community Draft Board, and next up, we’re welcoming into the mix defenseman Xavier Villeneuve.
A name that might be familiar to some of the prospect watchers around here, Villeneuve just wrapped up his third season in the QMJHL with Blainville-Boisbriand, where he was teammates with Flyers 2024 second-round pick Spencer Gill. Villeneuve put up a productive — if somewhat uneven — draft season, and has made a lot of fans for himself off of h...
We now know the dates where we will see all the current and potentially new Flyers prospects on the ice at the same time in a slightly competitive setting. It might feel like the playoffs just ended for this team but we have even more hockey just around the corner.
The Philadelphia Flyers will play their annual Rookie Series this September in Allentown against the New York Rangers. The team made the announcement Thursday regarding the two-game matchup which begins on Saturday evening, Sep...
Heading into his second full season as a Flyer, Jamie Drysdale was facing a bit of a crossroads. He wasn’t horrible in 2024-25 by any means, but he lacked the sort of high level play that was expected of him when he was drafted 6th overall in 2020. While he did serve as a consistent top-four defender throughout last season, he didn’t really get trusted with high leverage minutes in difficult matchups, and never seemed to fully gain the trust of John Tortorella.

Although the contract has not been officially confirmed or announced by the team, it appears that Philadelphia Flyers and goaltender Dan Vladar are going to be together for a while longer. Vladar’s two-year, $6.7 million contract has this upcoming 2026-27 season remaining, but indications are the team and player are set to announce a five-year contract extension when free agent frenzy rolls around on July 1. The exact details or cap hit have not been revealed, nor if there’s any clauses in the...
The Pittsburgh Penguins finished their first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia Flyers with two goalies on expiring contracts and a prospect in the AHL putting up impressive numbers.
Josh Yohe of The Athletic reported this week that Stuart Skinner is unlikely to return when he hits unrestricted free agency on July 1, that the organization is expected to re-sign Arturs Silovs as a restricted free agent, and that Sergei Murashov is regarded internally as ready to step into an NHL ro...
*Folks we aren’t even a week into June and all of the Flyers beats are already morphing into their summertime forms (people not writing any articles ever). BUT FEAR NOT. Broad Street Hockey doesn’t know what a day off is. Anyway the Flyers should resist the urge to take on another one of the Anaheim Ducks’ project players. [ BSH ]
*While we’re talking trades, the Flyers would do well to absolutely not trade Owen Tippett unless the return is undeniably worth the price. [ BSH ]
*Until ...
It’s safe to say that the Philadelphia Flyers hiring Rick Tocchet as the 25th head coach in franchise history was a polarizing move.
While some thought it was a good idea to bring in a player-friendly head coach after the ouster of John Tortorella, Tocchet was yet another former player joining the organization. It certainly didn’t seem like a move for a New Era of Orange.
Tocchet’s popularity wavered throughout most of the season, with some even wondering if the Flyers should conside...
There are a ton of rumors surrounding the Philadelphia Flyers right now. And while not all of them — or maybe none of them — will come to pass, there is one piece of news that has gone from rumors to reports to pretty much done.
That, of course, is a potential contract extension for goalie Dan Vladar.
Vladar is eligible to sign an extension in Philadelphia on July 1, one year after signing his two-year, $6.7 million contract with the Flyers in free agency.
Vladar had a career ye...

The Philadelphia Flyers and Anaheim Ducks have connected on a few trades in recent years.
First, it was the disgruntled Cutter Gauthier being dealt to Anaheim for Jamie Drysdale and a second-round pick. Then it was the Ducks’ turn to trade away a player needing a change of scenery, sending Trevor Zegras to the Flyers for Ryan Poehling, a second-round pick, and a fourth-round pick.
Both teams are probably pretty happy with how those deals have turned out so far. Drysdale and Zegras ha...
Heading into 2025-26, Flyers captain Sean Couturier hoped for a fresh start, turning the page after what was a rather unnerving relationship with former Philadelphia coach John Tortorella. Couturier was benched by Tortorella which caused its own mini-drama, and by the time the current Vegas coach was shown the door, Couturier probably would’ve volunteered to drive him to the airport. But the 2025 training camp started with new head coach Rick Tocchet and a new coaching staff, hoping to get the...
As the offseason comes into view for all teams but two, the rumor mill is starting the heat up, and the Flyers are right in the middle of it all.
David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period published an article recently that suggested that the Edmonton Oilers will be looking to acquire another winger to potentially play alongside Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl, and a name that’s been bandied about in potential talks is the Flyers’ Owen Tippett.
Tippett is coming off of a really...
