The Philadelphia Flyers and Minnesota Wild have pulled off one of the more interesting trades of deadline day, swapping young talent in a straight-up deal. Bobby Brink is headed to the Wild, while David Jiricek is going to the Flyers. Minnesota adds scoring help up front and Philadelphia is taking a swing on a former high-end defense prospect who still carries real upside.
Bobby Brink gives the Wild needed scoring depth
Minnesota gets a 24-year-old winger who ...
*Well that sure was a hockey game last night, huh? Low event hockey, baby. Psyched to watch this for the next two to three seasons. RECAP !
*Folks the smoke around Rasmus Ristolainen is THICK. Positively smothering. Let’s go, Danny B. [ BSH ]
*This will be GMDB’s third trade deadline with the Flyers, and we may be able to glean some things from the last two. [ Inquirer ]
*Along with the Risto rumors there is also a lot of talk of a Nic Deslauriers trade. Which is wild. Do that o...
It wouldn’t be the offseason if the Ravens weren’t linked to a veteran wide receiver. With DeAndre Hopkins set to hit free agency next week and Rashod Bateman coming off a disappointing season, Baltimore could benefit from adding another playmaking wideout to complement Pro Bowler Zay Flowers. The Ravens could have a shot at adding […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have not made a substantial trade yet this week, as we are now deep into the final 24 hours before the NHL trade deadline on Friday, but they seem to now be getting a whole lot of interest in their top trade chip — even more than just a day ago.
Rasmus Ristolainen is not certain to be moved, since his contract runs through next season and by all reports, the Flyers do not feel like they have to trade the 31-year-old Finnish defenseman, but now it certainly seems li...
Eagles News: Patriots, Ravens the Front-Runners The New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens have emerged as the most likely trade partners for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, with the Eagles willing to deal him only to AFC teams, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The Buffalo Bills also made preliminary contact with [...]
Riding high on a three-game winning streak, the Flyers are back on home ice tonight, set to face off against the Utah Mammoth for their final game ahead of tomorrow’s trade deadline. It’s the last game before a potential new normal sets in, depending on how tomorrow plays out, and the Flyers will be looking to make a statement and keep this streak rolling.

The Philadelphia Flyers look to be making some kind of move to their personnel between now and the trade deadline Friday afternoon. Signing an AHL veteran is the tell.
The team is about to sign Lehigh Valley Phantoms veteran Garrett Wilson to a National Hockey League contract. Wilson was placed on waivers Thursday by the Flyers. If he clears (and it’s almost a certainty that he will), then the forward will be signed by the Flyers on Friday. Before the club made an official announcement, S...
The wide receiver market is changing by the day, and with just under a week until the official start of NFL free agency, several of the moves have implications for whether the Eagles end up trading A.J. Brown. Eagles beat reporter Jeff McLane’s most recent report suggests that the team is only considering AFC teams […]
While the Rasmus Ristolainen trade rumors were flying, another Flyer was quietly linked to a potential deadline move.
Bobby Brink’s name has come up in passing as someone that the Flyers could dangle as means to improve other positions of need, but until recently, there were no specific discussions taking place that would lead anyone to think that Brink will be gone before the deadline.
But with the deadline a day away, Elliotte Friedman tossed out a theory that Brink cou...
It’s not easy to keep a Super Bowl team together. Prosperity is a marvelous, but difficult thing, to achieve in today’s NFL. Up until the 1990s, it was far easier for franchises to keep a Super Bowl roster intact. There was no salary cap or free agency until the 1990s. The seasons were much shorter […]
Is it on TV? It sure is. First pitch is at 1:05 PM on MLB Network. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? Yikes. As fun as it’s been watching Braiden Ward small-ball his way around the bases this spring, today’s lineup is absolutely brutal. And we don’t even have any fun WBC exhibitions […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Red Sox: Let’s talk about it.

Spring is a time for new beginnings. Flowers bloom. Creatures small and large emerge from their hibernation. Birdsong returns to sunny mornings. Statcast releases new data. I think that last one is the most beautiful of all. Baseball Savant just released new data on the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System for us to peruse. It’s got […]
There is endless talk about who the Philadelphia Flyers might trade before Friday’s deadline and what they could potentially get back in a deal. Whether it’s Rasmus Ristolainen, Owen Tippett, or Bobby Brink — a whole lot of Flyers have been talked about leading up to the very important day on the hockey calendar.
But one name that has been under-discussed is veteran forward Nic Deslauriers. And according to a recent report, he is likely going to be traded by the Flyers before the deadline...
Three Eagles participated in the NFL Scouting Combine over the past weekend – DE Quintayvious Hutchins, OLs Jude Bowry and Logan Taylor. Quintayvious Hutchins — Defensive End Overall assessment: 5.86 (29th out of 35) Q put in a respectable effort running an average 40 time and solid participation in on-field positional drills that emphasized his […]
Danny Briere has his fingerprints all over this Philadelphia Flyers rebuild — he is the general manager, after all. The former fan favorite has received mixed reviews during his nearly three years at the helm, but he’s set out a clear plan and is following it thus far.
So far this season, the most noteworthy transaction was signing Christian Dvorak to an unnecessary extension.
After overpaying on a one-year deal to convince Dvorak to sign in Philadelphia, the Flyers then bid against ...
The World Baseball Classic officially got underway last night with the first game in the Tokyo Dome that featured Chinese Taipei and Australia. There are a couple of lower-level Phillies prospects on Team Australia, but most of the names you would recognize won’t start official WBC play until tomorrow. Meanwhile, we still have plenty of […]
Oh, man, am I ready for the Spurs to be home. Probably not as ready as they are after all the time on the road, but excited all the same. The Rodeo Road Trip was a huge success and nearly perfect, sans the loss in Madison Square Garden. That said, following up the loss with […]
*Alright, we’ve made it to the last game before the trade deadline. Maybe the Flyers will win it! IT DOESN’T MATTER. [ PHLY ]
*Because sure they’ve hit a little hot streak. Their playoff chances are around 11%. Let’s not kid ourselves here, hmm? [ Inquirer ]
*You could describe it as a “tough call” for Danny Briere but it isn’t. This isn’t hard. Rebuild isn’t over, advance the rebuild, you’re not winning anything with this lineup. [ NBC Sports Philly ]
*But hey, maybe they’ll lo...
The Utah Jazz fell short against the Sixers, 106-102. For the most part, it was a duel between Keyonte George and Tyrese Maxey. George scored 30 points on 10/24 shooting from the field (41.7%) and 5/11 (45.5%) from three. It was very clear that Keyonte George was the equal of Tyrese Maxey, if not better. […]
The trade action around the NHL is heating up as we approach Friday’s trade deadline. We’ve got a bevy of deals sending large, right-handed defensemen to teams that need them, some shutdown centers have found a home, and a whole smattering of trades still percolating around the continent.
While the Philadelphia Flyers have not gotten themselves involved yet with an actual trade, there are countless rumors and reports about their players. Rasmus Ristolainen is suddenly one of the top defen...
The Spurs are back to their winning ways after a stumble in New York. They demolished the shorthanded 76ers in a 40-point blowout that saw eight players finish with 10 points or more. Among those 8 players, Victor Wembanyama was the closest to not reaching double digits. The big man only took five shots in […]
The Spurs knew the 76ers would be shorthanded coming into last night’s game in Philadelphia, with Joel Embiid out with an oblique strain and Paul George serving 25-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy. What they didn’t know was just how quickly and badly they would overwhelm a squad that still had All-Star Tyrese […]
