Maksim Sokolovskii would like everyone to know he’s very strong

This offseason has been all about Philadelphia Flyers fans wanting to see workout videos from one particular player so that he can bounce back from a disappointing sophomore season. It’s all we really care about as we’re still over a month away from training camp opening up. But what about a different young player in the Flyers organization getting his offseason workouts on video and then shared to social media? The Flyers’ selection of 6-foot-8 defenseman Maksim Sokolovskii at 27th overa...

Thursday Morning Fly By: 56 days of silence remain

*Remember when Claude Giroux wore number 56? Before he became a legend? Good times. Anyhoo, winning shootouts was a big part of the Flyers’ relative success last season, and this upcoming season there are a few more guys besides Trevor Zegras who might be able to help. [ BSH ] *We’re not very far from the aforementioned upcoming season — 56 days, in fact! — and there are still quite a few outstanding questions that need answering. By someone. [ Inquirer ] *One thing that’s g...

3 Flyers who should get more opportunity in the shootout

If you were to look at the all-time shootout goal leader for the Flyers, it probably wouldn’t surprise you it’s Claude Giroux with 30. Next up is his longtime partner on the ice in Jakub Voracek with 15. Sean Couturier (14), current Flyers general manager Danny Briere (12) and Mike Richards (11) round out the top five. Giroux hasn’t played with Philadelphia since March 2022. Voracek hasn’t since the end of the 2020-21 season. Briere? Well since 2012-13 when Philadelphia used one of their compl...

Wednesday Morning Fly By: 57 days ’til opening

*Decided counting down to preseason is dumb. We will now be counting down to opening night, which Alexa tells me is 57 days from today. Do not fact check this. Anyhoo, BSH continues to be the best website on earth and as such have looked into how much worse (or better!) the Flyers will be based on their Wins Above Replacement. [ BSH ] *Last year on opening night, Alex Bump and Denver Barkey were not on the roster. This year, they plan for that to be different. [ NBC Sports Philly ] *...

Flyers 2026 Top 25 Under 25, No. 19: Cole Knuble

From a prospect just getting started in his collegiate career to another wrapping up his for good, we move on to dig into the season and trajectory of Cole Knuble, who’s at quite the interesting inflection point in his career, staring down a full-time debut into the American Hockey League this fall. No. 19: Cole Knuble  2025-26 Primary League/Team: Univ. of Notre Dame (NCAA)  2025-26 Statistics: 9 G, 22 A in 36 GP Age as of 9/15/2026: 22 (7/1/2004) Acquired Via: 2023 NHL Draft – Roun...

Top-5 Philadelphia Flyers Prospects Named For 2026-27 Season

The dog days of summer are upon us in the NHL, and it's time to talk farm systems. Insert, the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers have one of the best prospect depth charts in the entire league, and are starting to mix in some young players to their veteran core, as general manager Daniel Briere has quickly become one of the more aggressive executives in the league. Recently, D aily Faceoff's prospect guru Steven Ellis released his top-five Flyers prospects heading into next season, and had this ...

How much WAR did the Flyers add and lose this offseason?

There has been an undying desire for people that analyze hockey, to summarize a player’s impact with one single number. Something you can point to and see whether or not a player actually did a lot of what contributed to their team winning games, or that they are actually a detriment to the team and shouldn’t be playing as much as they are (or at all). Obviously, in baseball we have WAR (Wins Above Replacement) and that is a sport that is a little bit easier to measure considering the spe...

5 Flames Takes: Have Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost ever been worth more?

Entering the 2025-26 season, Joel Farabee’s position within the Calgary Flames organization was … well, tenuous. Acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers midway through the 2024-25 campaign, Farabee finished the year with just three goals and six points in 31 games with the Flames, totals he described as “embarrassing” in his season-ending exit interview. And with…

Flyers prospect Jack Murtagh looking to rebound from rough freshman season

The Flyers certainly made some noise in the second round of last year’s draft, making a whopping four selections and leaning heavily into a particular archetype of player in that range, snapping up a group which collectively brings a good amount of size and energy, but also largely offered their fair share of promise of contributions on the offensive side as well. The Flyers got away with their handful of lottery tickets, and while each in that group would remain to some degree a longer term p...

Tuesday Morning Fly By: August is for the cottage

*Boy do I hope You People are ready for a few weeks of 3-4 link Fly Bys, because… hoo boy. No one is working. Not even Charlie, smdh. Know who is, though? WE ARE, BABIES. And we wrote about the single most important thing that will determine the Flyers’ ultimate success this season. [ BSH ] *We are already 1/5th of the way through our summertime 25 Under 25, and up next at number 20 is one of the 2025 draft picks who didn’t really score as much as you’d like in his first year at college. ...

Flyers 2026 Top 25 Under 25, No. 20: Jack Murtagh

Next up in our list is Jack Murtagh, a 2025 second rounder that disappointed in his freshman year at Boston University. Coming out of the US National Team Development Program in his draft year, the Flyers had hopes that Murtagh would find a way to translate his scoring to the NCAA level. That certainly isn’t what happened in his first year with BU, but the potential of Murtagh earns him a spot at No. 20 on the list.  No. 20: Jack Murtagh  2025-26 Primary League/Team: Boston Univ...

The biggest factor that will determine the Flyers 2026-27 season

The Philadelphia Flyers enter the 2026-27 season with higher expectations than last year. They’re looking at the playoffs not just as a possibility but as a given, although it’s not going to be easy to get there. They’re hoping goaltender Dan Vladar can repeat most of the numbers he delivered in his first year with the Flyers. Or at least come close to those statistics. And get Joseph Woll to pick up whatever slack might be there. They’re hoping for a healthy season from Tyson Foerster, a stro...

Monday Morning Fly By: One month to go

*The Flyers are set to open a pretty major next season in just under two months time, and a good portion of their success is going to hinge on how their young players fare. [ BSH ] *Porter Martone in particular has a chance to be a major driver of success for the Flyers as they move into this next phase. [ NBCSP ] *Speaking of Martone, he did some reflecting recently on the most embarrassing moment of his playing career. [ BSH ] *On a more serious note, we’re digging into what h...

Ranking the Flyers’ first-year players by expected impact next season

There hasn’t been a huge amount of turnover from the 2025-26 version of the Flyers to the one slated for training camp in September. There’s been a few guys put out to pasture, while others have entered the mix in the hopes they can help put the Flyers into the playoff hunt again and possibly put in a much deeper run. Obviously, had Leo Carlsson not had his offer sheet matched, it’s probably a safe bet he would’ve been topping this list quite easily. However, that’s not the case. What is ...

Porter Martone shares the most embarrassing moment of his career

Porter Martone looked like he could do no wrong when he joined the Philadelphia Flyers at the end of last season. The rookie put up 10 points (four goals, six assists) in his first nine NHL games, and then scored the game-winning goal in each of his first two postseason contests, finishing the playoffs with five points in 10 games. Martone is the favorite for the Calder Trophy this season, and he was the Flyers’ representative at the NHLPA Rookie Showcase in Chicago this week. E...

How Rick Tocchet’s teams have performed in their second season

In his first season behind the bench in Philadelphia, Rick Tocchet brought the Flyers back to the playoffs for the first time in five years. Now, with a full season in his system and another offseason to implement his vision, year two should provide a better indication of what his impact actually looks like. How have Tocchet’s other teams performed in their second season with him behind the bench? Team results Let’s start with the most obvious marker of improvement: team records. Fro...

Friday Morning Fly By: It’s Friday

*Folks we’re in the doldrums. In case you hadn’t noticed. But fear not, your BSH fam is still out here working hard in the content mines. As a result, you get a full report on the big signings the Flyers made for the Phantoms yesterday. [ BSH ] *We also have some thoughts on a few things the Flyers might be able to do to fix their stupid, heretofore unfixable power play. [ BSH ] *In case you were not aware of this fact, the Flyers have seven defensemen on the roster. Each and every o...

Flyers 2026 Top 25 Under 25, No. 21: Nathan Quinn

After profiling some Phantoms defensemen the past few days, we now move to the Q, where former sixth round pick Nathan Quinn has really surprised with his offensive level. An unheralded prospect taken with pick No. 164 in 2025, Quinn improved his stock within the Flyers organization with his offensive production with the Quebec Remparts, and earned the No. 21 overall spot on our Top 25 Under 25.  No. 21: Nathan Quinn 2025-26 Primary League/Team: Québec Remparts (QMJHL) 2025-26 S...
