Latest news and updates about the Flyers
The Toronto Maple Leafs could be looking to make another move to bolster their crease with Sergei Bobrovsky emerging as a potential target, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. Last week, the Leafs made a trade that sent Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers for Emil Andrae, Samuel Ersson, and a 2026 third-round…
If there’s one date on the calendar that contains a lot of Flyers franchise-altering history, it has to be June 23. Over the last 15 or so years, Philadelphia has somehow made moves on that specific date. A handful of these over the years include the drafting of Nolan Patrick (bad), and years later Matvei Michkov (good). Then there’s the trading of Jeff Carter and Mike Richards within hours of each other, with Philadelphia signing Ilya Bryzgalov hours later that fateful day. Scott Hartnel...
On June 1st in 1961, Paul Douglas Coffey was born in Toronto, Ontario. Selected 6th overall by Edmonton in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft, the slick skating blueliner spent seven seasons with the Oilers before suiting up for eight others (PIT, LAK, DET, HAR, PHI, CHI, CAR, BOS). During his 21 year career, Coffey posted five 100+ point campaigns (1984, 1985, 1986, 1989, 1990), two 40+ goal
On May 26th in 2000, New Jersey Devils defenseman Scott Stevens decimated the oft-injured Philadelphia Flyers forward Eric Lindros with an open ice hit midway through the first period of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The hit represents Lindros' final on-ice moment as a member of the Flyers as he was kept from skating for six months, missed the entire 2001 season, and was ultimately
With the focus primarily on the upcoming NHL Draft and free agent frenzy next week, the Philadelphia Flyers announced their 2026-27 exhibition schedule on Monday. And it’s going to be much shorter than previous schedules, which just four games on the docket; of course happening due to the regular season being increased from 82 games to 84 contests. According to the schedule, the Flyers will play just four preseason games, and they are two home-and-home affairs with the Washington Capitals...
The NHL Draft is great for finding the cornerstones of your franchise and the future stars of your team at the very tippy top of it. Nailing down those top five picks to set your team up for many years of future success with a very good player leading it. All of that is great, but what might be even more exciting is taking advantage of other teams not really knowing just how good that smaller kid in Norway can be, or how there’s this underscouted team in the MHL and this guy you take in the si...
*Things certainly are heating up around here! A couple of teams that we’ve had on our radar as potential trade partners for the Flyers have seen some activity this weekend, as the Kraken made the move to pick up Mackie Samoskevich from the Panthers. [ ESPN ] *It’s Seattle’s Shane Wright that the Flyers have been sniffing around, we should clarify.

The Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup one week ago, and the trades have been flowing in ever since. The Philadelphia Flyers got things started by acquiring Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit for Emil Andrae, Sam Ersson, and a third-round pick on Tuesday. There have been a handful of trades since then, including Darren Raddysh to Toronto , but the first true blockbuster trade of the offseason went down on Sunday evening. The Ottawa Senators traded captain Brady Tkachuk to the Florida ...

It’s NHL Draft season so we’re going to do the only thing there is to do (other than extensively go over the top available prospects this year ), and that’s try to peer into a crystal ball and determine who might be the right pick for the Philadelphia Flyers with the picks they currently have. As of now, the Flyers have just four draft picks this year. They traded their third-round pick away in the Joseph Woll deal, their fourth-round pick as part of the Trevor Zegras acquisition, and the...

In case you haven’t heard, the Carolina Hurricanes have won the Stanley Cup. That’s super cool for a number of reasons. For starters, their general manager, Eric Tulky, used to write for this very website (broadstreethockey.com), which rocks. But on top of that, a whole bunch of former Philadelphia Flyers are living their dream of being a Stanley Cup champion. Shayne Gostisbehere, Sean Walker, and, of course, head coach Rod Brind’Amour are all relishing in the glory of winning the greatest tro...
The Philadelphia Flyers are going to be right in the middle of basically every single trade rumor about a good defenseman and a young, good center. It’s bound to happen. It’s two major holes that this team needs to fill whether it is one of their prospects developing into something like that in a few years, or going out and getting something in a trade. And, well, it certainly looks like they’re going to be trying to get a young center as soon as next week. According to a recent repo...

Since taking over the Toronto Maple Leafs, general manager John Chayka has made multiple moves both behind the Toronto bench along with their roster, the most significant of which has been the firing of Craig Berube and subsequent hiring of Jim Hiller, along with the trade of goaltender Joseph Woll to the Philadelphia Flyers.Meanwhile, Chayka […] The post Major Concern Revealed After Maple Leafs’ Extension For Darren Raddysh appeared first on HEAVY .
The Hurricanes acquired Deslauriers from the Philadelphia Flyers just ahead of March’s NHL trade deadline.
The Flyers don’t have the number one pick. They’re not in the top five, and are 15 (and nine) spots removed from the slots they had last year when they selected Porter Martone with the sixth overall pick, and traded up for Jack Nesbitt with the twelfth pick. Needless to say, unless they unload a handful of picks and prospects, they’re not going to be in the top five this upcoming 2026 National Hockey League Draft in Buffalo. However, like they did last year, that’s not to say they couldn’...

It’s becoming the worst kept secret that the Philadelphia Flyers are eyeing up free agent defenseman John Carlson. Unfortunately, there’s a new potential hiccup into them landing the offensive blueliner. With July 1 fast approaching, the rumor mill is churning and media around the NHL are starting to connect some dots of players to teams that just make sense. While general manager Danny Briere can’t quite yet say outright which players he is interested in acquiring via free agency, there ...

The Toronto Maple Leafs have already been among the NHL’s most active teams this offseason, making a blockbuster goalie-centered trade with the Philadelphia Flyers earlier this week before following it up by acquiring defenseman Darren Raddysh from the Tampa Bay Lightning in a sign-and-trade on Friday.

The 2026 NHL Draft is a week away, and the Philadelphia Flyers have one first-round pick to use on Friday night. While there is a chance they make a first-round trade for the third straight year, what we know right now is that Danny Briere & Co. own the 21st overall selection in the upcoming draft. It’s tougher to get a top-of-the-lineup player later in the first round, but teams can still find impact players. The Flyers have done that a few times themselves with the likes of Claude Girou...
John Chayka isn’t messing around. After trading Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to Philadelphia and hiring Jim Hiller as head coach, the Maple Leafs were back in the headlines on Friday morning, completing a sign-and-trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning for Toronto native Darren Raddysh. Naturally, that’s where the conversation started on the Friday edition…
Each player making it to the National Hockey League has their own road to get there. Most of the time it’s the junior ranks or NCAA, but others sometimes take a bit longer to develop. As a result, when they are of draft age, they might not be selected, and have the chance to re-enter the draft the following year. It might be complicated to explain, but essentially it boils down to this: if your are born anywhere from Jan. 1 to Sept. 15 of the calendar year, you have a three-year window to be d...
