The Philadelphia Flyers still need finishing, and one insider believes a familiar name sitting on the open market could be the answer. Per NHL Network's Mike Rupp , Vladimir Tarasenko would be a strong fit in Philadelphia. "I think the Flyers are a team that needs more finishers," Rupp said. "Just like I talked about Patrik Laine not needing many opportunities to shoot the puck and score, Vlad Tarasenko is the same way. I'd like to see him in Philly. I think that would help them out."

The Flyers had a terrible power play, but not a great penalty kill. We take a look at what Tocchet-led teams have done in Tocchet's second year in comparison to his first year with Tampa, Arizona, and Vancouver.
The deal will carry an AAV of $912,500.
Out long national nightmare is over. We were all waiting with bated breath for just when the Philadelphia Flyers were going to re-sign all of their restricted free agents. We were pacing our respective living rooms. A trail has been deeply worn in all of our carpets and our family is concerned for us. We can’t stop fretting.
Well, thank goodness we can finally get some peaceful sleep. The Flyers have signed defenseman Hunter McDonald to a two-year contract, as announced by the team on Tue...
It was a productive year for number nine on the Top 25, Jack Berglund. The big left-handed center is up six spots from his winter ranking in early 2026 (and 11 spots from last August), helped by a big showing on the international stage and scoring his first AHL goal towards the end of the season. We thought we might get to see more of him in North America in the 2026-27 year, but he’s just been loaned back to his Swedish Hockey League club , Färjestad BK. Berglund should have a lot of confiden...

The Philadelphia Flyers' offer sheet to Leo Carlsson has made for a very difficult summer for Pat Verbeek and the Anaheim Ducks . After matching the $18 million AAV five-year offer for Carlsson, they are still faced with having to sign restricted free agent Cutter Gauthier. He of the 41-goal breakout season. The Ducks have reportedly offered Gauthier a 4-year deal with a $13M AAV. It has been flatly rejected by the player and his agent, Kurt Overhardt . Cutter Gauthier has re...
As the next season looms — just one month until the official opening of training camp — inflection points present, big and small, for team and players alike up and down the Flyers’ organizational ladder. Some have more to be made of them than others, and one of the players set to make a less perhaps slightly less publicized pivot is Flyers defense prospect Spencer Gill.
Gill, having just wrapped up his time playing in the QMJHL this past spring, is set to graduate up to the pros and...
Now we get it back to the Flyers: Stumbling upon this tweet stirred many emotions in me. The first one, of course, was amazement. It’s weird to see a Flyers goalie on any sort of good list. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in my life. My guarded, knee-jerk reaction was to think it’s […]

As soon as the Philadelphia Flyers selected center Jett Luchanko with the 13th overall pick at the 2024 NHL Draft, it was a controversial decision. Instead of going with the online consensus of defenseman Zeev Buium or Finnish center Konsta Helenius, the Flyers went with the speedy, detailed center out of Guelph. Unfortunately, it’s not looking to hot but there is a world where his stock goes back up to some previous hype levels fairly soon.
And now, he’s getting a slight demotion in our ...
With a great first impression, a strong playoff run, and a new five-year extension in his back pocket, Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar is having a good 2026. And it seems the NHL Network has given the netminder some kudos in his direction, putting him eighth in the outlet’s Top 10 goaltenders at the present time.
Vladar was praised for his consistency and stellar work, with him third in goals-against average overall (2.42) for goaltenders who played a minimum of 35 games. “It was a really im...

The internet is chock full of armchair GMs who salivate at the thought of acquiring their favorite players for their team, or trading for that one position on the team at its weakest. One mock trade we found online was for Philadelphia Flyers RHD Rasmus Ristolainen . No longer than namesake he used to be early in his career; he thrived under head coach John Tortorella, as a physical RHD with limited offensive upside. Last season, he played only 44 games, scoring 14 points (1 goal, ...

It’s August. We’re in the middle of the most dead period on the hockey calendar. Sure, Nikita Grebenkin got re-signed so there is at least something related to the Philadelphia Flyers to talk about, but we’re firmly in a time where we are just sitting here and waiting and thinking about training camp starting in over a month.
So, why not think of some possible transactions?
The Flyers might not make some trades before the season starts, but there could certainly be something going on...
The Pittsburgh Penguins made a big investment in their future, signing restricted free agent forward Ville Koivunen to an eight-year deal worth $4 million per season. Koivunen, acquired in the March 7, 2024 trade with Carolina that sent Jake Guentzel to the Hurricanes, had two goals and five assists in 39 games with Pittsburgh during the 2025-26 season.

In his first full NHL season, Nikita Grebenkin had four goals and 14 points in 55 regular-season games with the Flyers.
Although they did complete a couple of potentially beneficial offseason acquisitions, the Philadelphia Flyers made it a priority to extend the key players already on their roster. Longtime center-turned-general-manager Daniel Briere executed that organizational approach once more on Thursday, as he re-signed restricted free agent Nikita Grebenkin to a two-year, $2.2 million contract, per TSN.
