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...

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.

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...

*The offseason rumor mill keeps on turning, and today we’re shifting our focus to the unfolding Auston Matthews saga up in Toronto, because it would seem that the Flyers are doing the same. [ BSH ] *And, of course, we’re still working to unpack the Flyers’ reported linking to Darnell Nurse. [ PHLY ] *The biggest topic of conversation, though, is the upcoming draft, and there’s still a whole lot left to dig into before we kick things off next week. And at the top of the list would be ...

The Philadelphia Flyers made a surprising run to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2026. More than this, they even won a series. The Flyers dominated the Pittsburgh Penguins for much of their first-round series. And as a result, Philly won its first postseason series in a non-COVID-affected season since 2012. Their postseason run ended with […] The post 1 player Flyers must sign in 2026 NHL Free Agency appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Philadelphia Flyers are on the hunt. General manager Danny Briere is crouching down in the bushes and ready to pounce on whatever first-line center becomes available for this team to take a major step. And now they’re in the stages of just waiting to see who comes up next. As we all know, the Flyers are missing that massive piece down the middle.

The Philadelphia Flyers made their first big swing of the offseason Tuesday, acquiring goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Samuel Ersson, Emil Andrae, and a draft pick. Per Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco , that trade could be the first of several moves for Philadelphia this summer, with center depth remaining the most glaring need left to address.

The Flyers made a big shift to their roster, they announced yesterday , with the move to ship out backup goaltender Sam Ersson and depth defenseman Emil Andrae (along with a third round pick) to Toronto in exchange for Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit. And while the shift in the goaltending situation — the extra stability that Woll can provide them over what Ersson has been able to provide, of late — is certainly the biggest boost and takeaway from this move, but the broader shakeup of the defense...
The Toronto Maple Leafs made their first trade of the offseason, sending Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers for Emil Andrae, Samuel Ersson, and a 2026 third-round pick.

*We are now just eight calendar days from the NHL Entry Draft so barring anymore spice from Danny Briere, that’s probably all anyone will be talking about. Not us, of course. We’ll also be talking about other stuff, like which teams we think would be most likely to make a trade for Rasmus Ristolainen.

It wasn’t even a year ago, and the Philadelphia Flyers were looking at a goaltending issue that was a major problem at the time, and moving forward. At his year-end interview in the spring of 2025, Flyers general manager Danny Briere acknowledged the goaltending issue was something that couldn’t continue. He had discussions with the trio of keepers — Sam Ersson, Ivan Fedotov, and Aleksei Kolosov — at season’s end that they needed to be better. Much better. Historically, for a team that ha...
After the Philadelphia Flyers made the first trade of the NHL offseason on Tuesday, acquiring goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit from the Toronto Maple Leafs, there is an innate feeling that suddenly a wave of moves are going to be made between now and the 2026 NHL Draft. So, why not think about some potential fits for arguably the likeliest member of the Flyers to be traded? Rasmus Ristolainen is not guaranteed to be traded before next season. With one year left on his co...
It wouldn't be a Penguins off-season without Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell surfacing in the rumor mill. Meanwhile, the Flyers could be interested in Oilers D-man Darnell Nurse.
The 2026 NHL Draft is just around the corner now that the Stanley Cup has been handed out.

Who are some draft-eligible players that people will be questioning why they weren’t taken dozens of spots hi...
