Nothing is working right now for the Philadelphia Flyers. Rick Tocchet has the line blender out in full force, for better or worse (mostly worse), and that continued with the biggest shakeup of the season at Thursday’s morning skate.
We dug into the Flyers’ lineup changes a bit earlier, and one of the most notable changes is moving Trevor Zegras back to wing.
Zegras was effective late last season down the middle, even showing that he has the potential to be the Flyers’ first-line cen...
Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet has been searching the wilderness for some consistent lines that he could put out and lead to somewhat success. But with the team now with a 0-2-2 record to start the season, it appears that he is already hitting the panic button and going for the nuclear option when it comes to the lineup the Flyers will put on the ice.
Ahead of Thursday night’s matchup against the Senators in Ottawa, Tocchet unveiled a lineup that provided honest-to-God shock....
After a shaky start to the season, Philadelphia Flyers GM Danny Briere is turning to 31-year-old winger Michael Bunting as a potential stabilizing presence.
Ullmark appeared to have tweaked someting in a game against the Bruins this past Monday.
It’s another Philadelphia Flyers game day. Before we talk about that, we talk about the message that was sent by […]

The Philadelphia Flyers have had countless issues at the start of the season, and some of them started in training camp.
Sure, if things continue to get worse, we’ll dig deeper into the potential foundational issues with this rebuild, but let’s not completely overreact to a four-game sample size in the span of six days against some pretty good teams.
But for now, I’m going to look at a few things that have been a bit bothersome since the start of training camp. We started by looking ...
*The Philadelphia Flyers are still looking for their first win of the season (we’re in misery). But one player who showed up during Monday night’s loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning was Porter Martone. The young rookie showed the rest of his team how they can flip a switch. He may have earned zero points (a goal was taken away from him) but he was certainly playing with an edge that is missing throughout the lineup. [NBCSP]
*One player who could be adding a bit of that, and mainly becau...
Flyers rookie Alex Bump has a chance to refine game in AHL assignment with Phantoms.
The Philadelphia Flyers are off to a dreadful start to the season, being outscored 17-5 in four winless games. And while they added a bit of help on the offensive end with a free agent signing this week, there's still work to be done on the blueline. Several reports have them looking to add on the backline, preferably with size. Of course, if you're talking about size, 6'6" young star RFA Simon Edvisson would be "a great fit" in Philly, says insider Frank Seravalli. And they have been mentione...
The Philadelphia Flyers are on a desperate hunt to find a bona fide first-line center. But in the meantime, what is one way they could get by?
Will Michael Bunting signing with the Flyers encourage other NHL teams to look for unsigned veteran players?
The Philadelphia Flyers are in a world of hurt right now so they reached out into the shining light of peeling a player off the pile of remaining free agents, shrugged, and signed him with a hope that maybe he can do some cool stuff.
Michael Bunting has joined this Flyers team after a summer of not being able to find a home as an unrestricted free agent. Now, he has an opportunity to show that teams should have been banging his door down for an opportunity to sign him, all on a team that ...

The post Flyers Loan Alex Bump to Phantoms to Make Room for Bunting appeared first on Philly Hockey Now .
The Philadelphia Flyers have made the call. After an unfortunate training camp where the player never really showed what made us hopeful of his potential and a start to the season where he was already a healthy scratch, Alex Bump has been sent down to the AHL.
Announced by the team on Wednesday morning, Bump is going to now be with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and it could be for a little bit.

Going into training camp, you always want there to be some healthy competition. The Philadelphia Flyers didn’t have that this year.
Sure, there were battles among players to see where they’d slot into the lineup, but there weren’t really any questions heading into training camp. If you took a look at the Flyers roster on July 1 after they signed Noel Acciari, the 20-plus players on the opening night roster would’ve been the ones you predicted.
Part of that was due to a league-mandate...
Other teams are watching how the Flyers use David Jiricek. Frank Seravalli reports that teams are monitoring the 22-year-old's deployment.
One opposing pro scout was disappointed not to see him in the lineup for Philadelphia's first two games.
Seravalli called it "noteworthy" that there's intrigue in his game around the league, but he didn't report that Philadelphia is shopping him.
Jiricek was the sixth overall pick in 2022, and the Flyers got him from Minnesota on deadline day in March...

It wasn’t an earth-shattering move. It is extremely low-risk. And it could actually help Philadelphia. Hence, when Flyers general manager (and master tinkerer) Danny Briere signed unrestricted free agent Michael Bunting to a one-year, $1.2 million contract on Tuesday, it answered a few questions fans might have had.
For one, Briere isn’t about to stand pat and let the current four-game winless streak continue without trying something. As well, Bunting was one of the better unrestricted fr...
