When the Philadelphia Flyers selected Matvei Michkov at No. 7 overall in the 2023 NHL Draft, the organization was under the full impression that the young Russian would take some time to make it to North America. He did sign a five-year contract with SKA Saint Petersburg in the KHL, after all. That should have […]

Forward Matvei Michkov is reportedly leaving SKA and will be joining the Philadelphia Flyers for next season, according to Anthony Di Marco of The Fourth Period. Matvei Michkov reportedly has elected to be represented by CAA and will sign his entry-level contract with the Flyers. There has been no official announcement from the Flyers on […]

After making the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 14 of 15 seasons, the San Jose Sharks have missed the postseason festivities for five consecutive years. It has been a particularly painful rebuild, as the team finished 19-54 during the latest NHL campaign. There might finally be a blinding ray of light amid the darkness, however, now […]

The Philadelphia Flyers have a major opportunity ahead of them at the 2024 NHL Draft. They are working through a rebuild, despite their playoff contention this past season. And they own the 12th overall pick in the draft later this month. With this selection, they could add a high-end talent to their prospect pipeline. Where […]

The Philadelphia Flyers had quite the 2023-24 campaign. On one hand, it was rather successful given the circumstances. Philadelphia competed for a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs almost out of nowhere. Many expected the team to be near the bottom of the standings. And yet, they were in a playoff spot nearly all season […]

The Philadelphia Flyers are continuing to rebuild despite just barely missing out on the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The club looked like a lock to advance to the postseason after an excellent first three-quarters of the 2023-24 campaign, but things fell apart in the final weeks — the Flyers lost nine of their last 11 […]

Perhaps the hottest name on the NHL trade market ahead of free agency is Carolina Hurricanes center Martin Necas. The 25-year-old will be a restricted free agent on July 1 and there is every indication that the Canes have no problem trading his rights to another team. There have been several reports suggesting that the […]

Philadelphia Flyers top prospect Matvei Michkov fell to No. 7 in the 2023 NHL Draft largely because of the 19-year-olds commitment to play in the Kontinental Hockey League for three seasons. But based on a report from the Russia’s Sport-Express on Sunday, that might no longer be the case. “According to SE, SKA forward Matvey […]

The Philadelphia Flyers exceeded all expectations for about 90 percent of the 2023-24 NHL campaign. No one expected this team to come anywhere near advancing to the postseason, but led by a no-nonsense coach in John Tortorella and driven by some exciting young talent, the Flyers occupied the No. 3 spot in the Metropolitan Division […]

It was just under a month ago that Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov had his contract with CSKA Moscow terminated — and the 27-year-old already has a new deal. The Flyers signed the Russian to a two-year, $6.5 million extension on Tuesday, keeping him under club control until at least the end of the 2025-26 […]

For most of the 2023-24 NHL season, John Tortorella’s Philadelphia Flyers were one of the biggest pleasant surprises, solidly remaining in playoff contention despite lowly preseason expectations. The season ultimately ended in disaster and disappointment, however, as the team’s play down the stretch led to them sliding down the standings table and missing the playoffs […]

The 2023-24 NHL season has become disappointing in a hurry for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella has come under fire a bit over the last few weeks. The Flyers have struggled mightily as of late. And they no longer occupy a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs as of now. On Tuesday night, things hit a new low. Philadelphia fell to the Montreal Canadiens by […]

Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella has been making headlines on what seems like a weekly basis in 2023-24. He has taken a roster that was widely expected to miss the playoffs in a rebuild year, and has it on the verge of a postseason berth with under two weeks left in the regular-season. As […]

It’s rare for a team in playoff contention to get a boost toward the end of the regular season. With the trade deadline gone and the top free agents and buyout candidates off the market, teams can only get upgrades from within the organization. The Philadelphia Flyers are getting such an upgrade with goalie Ivan […]

Although Philadelphia Flyers bench boss John Tortorella is well-known for having a short fuse, one of the winningest head coaches of all time can still admit when he’s wrong. Tortorella was asked about backup goaltender Felix Sandstrom’s play after a 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Sunday, and the 65-year-old looked stunned by the […]

Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella made another controversial decision recently. First, he decreased the ice time of captain Sean Couturier. Then, he went a step further, making him a healthy scratch for two games. Philadelphia’s captain did return to the ice on Saturday. But he wants the past to remain in the past. Couturier […]

Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton wasn’t blind to what was going on. As the clock inched closer to 3 PM Eastern time on March 8th, he awaited news of a trade.

However, there was a move prior to that. The Avalanche acquired defenseman Sean Walker from the Philadelphia Flyers that same day. Colorado acquired […]

John Tortorella has a reputation for his temper tantrums and harsh words for officials and media members. While the coach of the Philadelphia Flyers has remained in control throughout the majority of the season, he received a game misconduct in his team’s 7-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday. The NHL further punished the […]

After shipping Sean Walker to the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday, the Philadelphia Flyers will look to replace him with Erik Johnson after acquiring the veteran from the Buffalo Sabres, per The Athletic’s Chris Johnston.

The Philadelphia Flyers are certainly in a unique position ahead of the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline. Philadelphia is a rebuilding team, focusing on the future rather than short-term success.

On the same day that Ryan Johansen was traded from the Colorado Avalanche to the Philadelphia Flyers, he was somewhat surprisingly waived on Wednesday afternoon, per The Athletic’s Chris Johnston.
