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.

Yegor Zavragin, the Flyers bluechip goaltending prospect and their third-round pick (87th overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft, appears to be switching teams in the KHL. And the move should be for the better in terms of his development.
On Saturday, Zavragin was sent from his SKA St. Peterburg club to Metallurg Magnitogorsk (HC Metallurg) along with Yegor Zelonov. In exchange, Metallurg sent back Alexei Maklyukov.

Adam Novotny is a winger who has slowly started to get more traction as the season went on. While he was seen as a fun story as he followed a familiar path from Europe to the CHL and had some potential, during the second half of his campaign with the OHL’s Peterborough Petes, he started to get so much more attention and is now seen as a player who should at the very least go in the first two-thirds of the first round later this month.
While it’s not the most well-tread road, Novotny came ...
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 ...
It’s kind of inspiring, really, that Nick Seeler has turned himself into an every night NHL defenseman. He was out of the league when the Flyers gave him a call in 2021. All these years later, and it’s not a single shift that goes by with Seeler on the ice that he isn’t bruised or battered in some way. He performs a thankless job: the third-pair defensive defenseman, out to receive pucks in places they haven’t invented pads for until Travis Sanheim can catch his breath. Surely, the rest of the...
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 ...

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...
*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 ]

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...
We spent some time yesterday talking about another sizable winger option at the top of the class in Ethan Belchetz, and we’re going to keep the spirit of that rolling a little longer as we introduce our newest addition to the Draft Board in Oliver Suvanto, a sizable center out of the Finnish leagues.
A unique case in this draft, Suvanto skipped over the Finnish U20 level completely and jumped straight into a full time role at the top level in Liiga this season. It wasn’t a perfect year, b...
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...
As we get closer and closer to July 1, it’s looking likelier and likelier that Dan Vladar will be with the Philadelphia Flyers for the foreseeable future.
After impressing in his first season in Philadelphia, Vladar has just one year left on his contract at a $3.35 million cap hit.
He didn’t hide his enthusiasm when asked if he’d be open to signing an extension with the Flyers this summer. When the league calendar switches to next season on July 1, Vladar (and other signed players) w...
