Thursday Morning Fly By: Sounding off
*Since he got his contract extension signed, it’s been all Trevor Zegras talk all over the place. Understandably, of course, as he’s a huge contributor to this team and it’s great to see him locked down with some term, and to have all of that done with basically zero drama. Which is, to say the least, a change of pace from his previous contract negotiations. [ BSH ] *There’s been a lot of maturing in his game that we’ve seen already, and it’s been a real treat to watch the player and role...
Phantoms re-sign captain Garrett Wilson
The heavy lifting needed to fill out the majority of their roster is already done and dusted for the Phantoms, but they ticked one more box this afternoon to ensure that a foundational piece of their lineup remains in place. That is, the Phantoms announced that they’ve forward Garrett Wilson, to a one-year extension. Welcome back, Cap 🫡 https://t.co/JaSi1q0ERi pic.twitter.com/ZE8G0OG1gq — Lehigh Valley Phantoms (@LVPhantoms) July 22, 2026 The team’s captain for the last three...
Trevor Zegras reacts to the Flyers’ failed Leo Carlsson offer sheet
The Philadelphia Flyers rattled the entire hockey world earlier this summer. By sending Leo Carlsson a historic, $90-million offer sheet, they picked up the millions of players and coaches and other people involved in the game and threw their head around to give them images of what a new NHL could look like. It was an exciting six days before the Anaheim Ducks eventually matched the offer sheet and kept their 21-year-old star center, but it certainly was a sign that the Flyers are trying ...
16 Flyers who graduated from our Top 25 Under 25 list
It’s that time of the offseason. The Philadelphia Flyers’ roster is fairly set, barring some wild blockbuster Danny Briere has in his back pocket while everyone else is at the cottage, we have started our annual Top 25 Under 25 series . The ballots are still being combed through and counted and we’re still doing some behind-the-scenes work, so let’s take today to reflect on what players are no longer eligible to be on the list, for various reasons. Trevor Zegras aged out Startin...
Trevor Zegras explains why this contract negotiation was completely different
Trevor Zegras became an instant fan favorite in his first season with the Philadelphia Flyers. The Long Island native returned to the East Coast and brought the sunshine of Anaheim with him. He put up 41 points in as many games to start last season, hanging up the phone on his former team to cap off the first half. Things were hit and miss from there, with Zegras and the Flyers getting hot again in March and April to make the playoffs, a first for the forward and a first for Philadel...
Wednesday Morning Fly By: Let’s get ranking
*It’s the most wonderful time of the year, everyone! That’s right, it’s BSH 25 Under 25 time. That wondrous time when we evaluate and rank every player in the organization under the age of 25. Everyone loves a ranking. [ BSH ] *This time around we are trying something a little bit different, by popular demand: you, dear reader, will get to participate in the ranking. So be sure to get yours in and let us know what you think of these youths! [ BSH ] *The latest guy to receive his cont...
Could Dylan Larkin be back on the Flyers’ radar after Detroit’s GM shakeup?
The Philadelphia Flyers’ seemingly never-ending search for a first-line center continues with Leo Carlsson enjoying his $90 million contract in Anaheim. It was a big swing by Danny Briere to try to get another Duck to fly the coop, but it was a short-lived six days of picturing Carlsson in a different shade of orange. The jury is still out on whether Trevor Zegras can be a first-line center , or a center at all, after a successful season in a hybrid role. He, of course, just signed a four...

5 Flyers with the least to prove heading into next season
A few days ago, we looked at the five Philadelphia Flyers who might be in the eye of the hurricane , or in the glare of the spotlight from the opening faceoff on Sept. 30 onwards. That’s not to say that only those five players need to prove themselves early and often, but with new contracts signed and extensions for some in the offing, they’re naturally going to get more eyeballs placed on them. However, on the other side of the pressure coin, there are a handful of players who don’t need care...
Introducing the Philadelphia Flyers Summer 2026 Top 25 Under 25
The offseason might be well and truly into full swing, but we’re still working hard to find enough to keep us occupied, lest the doldrums set in. With the season getting going a little earlier this year, we’re diving into the summer edition of our favorite series a little early, in turn. That’s right, it’s Top 25 Under 25 time! The 25 Under 25 is our check-in on the young talent within the Flyers’ organization, taking a look at guys from the NHL to juniors to overseas and elsewhere. Every...
Tuesday Morning Fly By: The crickets are chirping
*Y’all… nothing is happening. With Zegras and Drysdale locked up, we fear that Silent Season is upon us all. So prepare yourself for the next few weeks of writers trying to fill their pages with speculation and rumors and what-ifs and maybes. Like this rumor, about Connor McDavid wanting to come to play for your Philadelphia Flyers. [ Oilers Nation ] *And now, for a little speculation, we considered what Danny Briere might be able to do with the Boston Bruins as a trade partner. [ BSH ] ...
Jamie Drysdale reveals why he wanted to stay with the Flyers long term
Although they still have some business to attend to with the contracts of Hunter McDonald and Nikita Grebenkin, the last piece of negotiation for the Philadelphia Flyers this summer was with defenseman Jamie Drysdale. On Friday evening the 24-year-old blueliner inked a four-year, $26 million extension ($6.5 million average annual value), days after forward Trevor Zegras was locked up for the same amount of years but with another $10.5 million in his pocket more than Drysdale. And on Monday aft...
2 trades the Flyers can make with the Bruins before next season
There has been so much talk about the Philadelphia Flyers’ next move. After the Anaheim Ducks matched the Leo Carlsson offer sheet, now the Flyers are in some weird limbo where they absolutely went for it and wanted to get their No. 1 center by giving him $90 million, but coming up short. Now, their offseason has been more about slight improvement in key positions and getting some key players signed to contracts. But, what can the Flyers do now? Are we going to see anything before the end...
The 5 Flyers who have the most pressure on them heading into next season
There’s still about 10 weeks to go before the Flyers regular season begins Sept. 30 at home against Pittsburgh. Lots of things could happen between now and then. But if they don’t, and Philadelphia enters the season with essentially the lineup they have in mid-July, then there will be a few players who have a bit more to prove this year. Whether it’s a contract extension that has seen their value increase to the club, players who had somewhat disappointing seasons, or those who are starting fr...
Monday Morning Fly By: All wrapped up
*We’re pretty well settled into the offseason by now, but the Flyers are still chipping away at their remaining bits of business. They ticked another box before we hit the weekend, beating the clock on arbitration and getting Jamie Drysdale signed to a four-year extension. [ BSH ] *It’s an important piece to have gotten done, and all in all, it’s a tidy bit of business. [ PHLY ] *Elsewhere in the hockey world, another big contract was signed on Friday, as the Blackhawks got ...
Trevor Zegras has shown he can be the Flyers’ first-line center
The Philadelphia Flyers made Trevor Zegras the highest-paid player in franchise history, at least in terms of average annual value, with the four-year, $36.5 million contract extension announced on Wednesday night. Zegras played on the final year of a three-year, $17.25 million contract in his first season in Philadelphia, putting up career highs in goals (26) and points (67) while also getting six points (two goals, four assists) in the first 10 playoff games of his career. The swin...
Flyers, Jamie Drysdale avoid arbitration, agree to 4-year contract
Less than two days after signing Trevor Zegras to a new contract, the Philadelphia Flyers locked up another of their young restricted free agents. The Flyers inked defenseman Jamie Drysdale to a four-year, $26 million contract Friday afternoon, which carries an average annual value of $6.5 million. The new contract means the Flyers and Drysdale have successfully avoided salary arbitration, which was scheduled for Monday, July 20. “We’re excited to have Jamie remain a key part of our ...
Could Alex Bump be the odd man out of a Flyers lineup spot?
July has turned the corner to wind down, and the regular season will be here for the Flyers before we or they know it. With just a few bits of business left to take care of over these next couple of months, the Flyers all but set as the next new season approaches, and their projected lineup is already beginning to take shape. And even though the Flyers won’t be adding another forward into the mix after losing out on Leo Carlsson, their standing forward group is looking a little crowded, a...

What Danny Briere said about the Leo Carlsson offer sheet and Trevor Zegras extension
The following morning, after signing Flyers forward Trevor Zegras to a four-year, $36.5 million contract, Philadelphia general manager Danny Briere says he’s hoping for the winger/center to take much more of a “leadership” role over the course of the next four years. “It’s a nice feeling,” Briere said Thursday in a presser regarding both the contract extension to Zegras as well as the offer sheet to Anaheim center Leo Carlsson. “Obviously Trevor is a big part of our team, a big part of ou...

What Trevor Zegras’s extension means for the Flyers’ salary cap
One of the few remaining things on Danny Briere’s to-do list for the Philadelphia Flyers this summer was checked off on Wednesday night. Trevor Zegras put pen to paper on a four-year contract extension that carries a $9.125-million AAV, making him the team’s highest-paid player. And with that new label, how can that change things for the Flyers financially in the present and the future? Before Zegras inked his new deal, the Flyers had the most cap space in the entire NHL. A seemingly boun...
