The Philadelphia Flyers are in a bit of a transition period. Not necessarily in their roster-building philosophy, as the team is continuing their rebuilding process. But they are in a transition period in their front office. Former Flyers star Daniel Briere is now the team’s new general manager. And he made quite the first impression […]

The Philadelphia Flyers have been one of the more interesting teams over the last 13 years in terms of playoff success. After making an incredible run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2010, the Flyers lost two tough second-round battles the following two seasons.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Joel Farabee had a bit of a disappointing season in 2022-23. The 23-year-old played a full 82 games for the first time in his career. However, he recorded just 39 points in those games. It’s rather underwhelming considering that two seasons prior, he scored 38 points in just 55 games. One potential […]

To say that expectations aren’t high for the Philadelphia Flyers’ 2023-24 season would be an understatement.

The Philadelphia Flyers are in the midst of a big-time rebuild and although they made a handful of signings throughout the first two weeks of NHL free agency, none of them really move the needle for Philly’s expectations next season.

At last year’s NHL Draft, we saw a few elite defensemen available for the taking. The New Jersey Devils selected Simon Nemec second overall. And the Columbus Blue Jackets selected David Jiricek with the sixth pick. It seemed this year, however, there wouldn’t be that elite blueliner in this class. But that perception began to […]

The 2023 NHL Draft is one week away, and there is a lot of intrigue around this class. This class is considered one of the deepest in recent memory with talent up and down the board.

The Detroit Red Wings made a ton of progress this past season despite missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Philadelphia Flyers were one of the worst teams in the NHL in 2022-23, and the team is undoubtedly about to go through a rebuild — but new general manager Daniel Briere wants to make that process as short as possible by shaking up his new team. He’s already making good on that claim after […]

Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere has not closed the door on trading goalie Carter Hart this summer.

The Philadelphia Flyers are open for business this summer, as evidenced by their trade of defenseman Ivan Provorov on Tuesday.

The Columbus Blue Jackets kicked off the NHL offseason in a massive way on Tuesday. Columbus acquired 27-year-old defenseman Ivan Provorov from the Philadelphia Flyers in a massive three-way trade.
