The Philadelphia Flyers are on the hunt. General manager Danny Briere is crouching down in the bushes and ready to pounce on whatever first-line center becomes available for this team to take a major step. And now they’re in the stages of just waiting to see who comes up next.

The Philadelphia Flyers made their first big swing of the offseason Tuesday, acquiring goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Samuel Ersson, Emil Andrae, and a draft pick. Per Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco , that trade could be the first of several moves for Philadelphia this summer, with center depth remaining the most glaring need left to address.
The Flyers have reportedly zeroed in on a trio of players from the Ottawa Senators t...
The Flyers made a big shift to their roster, they announced yesterday , with the move to ship out backup goaltender Sam Ersson and depth defenseman Emil Andrae (along with a third round pick) to Toronto in exchange for Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit. And while the shift in the goaltending situation — the extra stability that Woll can provide them over what Ersson has been able to provide, of late — is certainly the biggest boost and takeaway from this move, but the broader shakeup of the defense...
The Toronto Maple Leafs made their first trade of the offseason, sending Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers for Emil Andrae, Samuel Ersson, and a 2026 third-round pick.

*We are now just eight calendar days from the NHL Entry Draft so barring anymore spice from Danny Briere, that’s probably all anyone will be talking about. Not us, of course.

It wasn’t even a year ago, and the Philadelphia Flyers were looking at a goaltending issue that was a major problem at the time, and moving forward. At his year-end interview in the spring of 2025, Flyers general manager Danny Briere acknowledged the goaltending issue was something that couldn’t continue. He had discussions with the trio of keepers — Sam Ersson, Ivan Fedotov, and Aleksei Kolosov — at season’s end that they needed to be better. Much better.
Historically, for a team that ha...
After the Philadelphia Flyers made the first trade of the NHL offseason on Tuesday, acquiring goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit from the Toronto Maple Leafs, there is an innate feeling that suddenly a wave of moves are going to be made between now and the 2026 NHL Draft. So, why not think about some potential fits for arguably the likeliest member of the Flyers to be traded?
Rasmus Ristolainen is not guaranteed to be traded before next season. With one year left on his co...
