The Philadelphia Flyers have struck out on a large portion of what they wanted to get done in the first few weeks of the NHL offseason, but there is a big possibility of them reuniting with longtime franchise legend Claude Giroux in free agency. It all makes sense. The Flyers could use a player like him — a faceoff specialist, someone who won’t want anything more than a one-year deal, a very solid playdriver, and someone great on a power play — but now they’re going to face some competition.

As the Flyers’ annual Development Camp has gotten rolling through this week, another opportunity has come to pass to see a wide variety of prospects, at a wide variety of places on their own developments — some prospects just looking to get their footing after being drafted last week, others working up thebranks and fine tuning their games, and, perhaps most critically, some with good NHL experience in the back pocket already, looking to continue to put in the work and serve as a good example ...

The Philadelphia Flyers are continuing to take care of business after free agency opened. Per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , the Flyers are working on a multi-year contract extension with young defenseman Jamie Drysdale that should land in the neighborhood of a $6 million average annual value.
"The Flyers are working on a multi-year contract extension with Jamie Drysdale," Pagnotta reported. "Not sure on timing, but should come in the 6M aav neighborhood whenever it gets done."

The Philadelphia Flyers made a serious push for the top defenseman on the free-agent market, but the money was not enough to win the day. Per Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff , the Flyers offered John Carlson more money than the Tampa Bay Lightning, the team he ultimately signed with on July 1.
"FWIW, I'm told the Flyers did offer more money for John Carlson," Di Marco reported. "He ultimately had his sights set on Tampa Bay."
Di Marco added that while he could not say for certain, he bel...
It has been one of the top storylines of the Philadelphia Flyers offseason, but now a couple days into NHL free agency, they have not yet addressed their desire to upgrade their blue line. General manager Danny Briere wants to make a significant improvement among their group of six defensemen and while he has certainly tried to do exactly that, it’s not happened yet for various reasons.
So, what if they then just move on to their next target and possibly the best defenseman that’s still a...
The Philadelphia Flyers have an opportunity to reunite with franchise legend Claude Giroux in free agency. But should they? Let’s comb through the case for and against bringing back the captain that was a part of our lives for so long.
As of Thursday, Giroux is without a team, and without a contract. The 38-year-old winger spent the last four seasons with Ottawa, and missed only one regular season game in that chapter of his career. That’s a rather remarkable stat considering how the body...
The Philadelphia Flyers are still doing some business the day after free agency opened. According to reports, the Flyers have locked up young defenseman Jamie Drysdale to a contract extension.
The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta dropped an important update on the contract negotiations between Drysdale and the Flyers. It surely seems like the team will show their commitment to the player, signing him to a long-term contract extension that will reportedly be around a $6-million AAV.
T...
The Toronto Maple Leafs were reportedly among the teams that expressed interest in signing Claude Giroux during Day 1 of free agency, according to Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch. Garrioch also listed the Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, and Colorado Avalanche as teams that reached out to Giroux on Wednesday, though he noted that it wasn’t a surprise…
The online world of Philadelphia Flyers fandom was in chaos on Wednesday night.

At the end of the first day of free agent frenzy Wednesday, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere re-signed goaltender Dan Vladar and winger Tyson Foerster to sizeable contract extensions, added some depth in fourth-line center Noel Acciari , and fleshed out the roster somewhat with players seemingly destined for Lehigh Valley. However, the big move or signing some had anticipated never materialized. As of Monday evening, John Carlson is not in Philadelphia. Nor was current Norris T...
Day One of NHL Free Agency is more or less in the books, and Claude Giroux remains a free agent.
This morning, Pierre LeBrun reported that there could be a reunion in Philadelphia as the Flyers were expected to be among the teams trying to sign Giroux in free agency.
Giroux took some time after the season to mull over his future before deciding to come back and play another season. However, that won’t necessarily be in Ottawa. While the Senators remain hopeful that they can come to t...
It’s been a busy opening to free agency for the Flyers, and while they knocked out their big bits of business earlier in the day — locking down key players in Dan Vladar and Tyson Foerster to long-term extensions — they closed out the day with an announcement of a handful of moves to bring a bit of added depth and stability to their AHL squad.
The Flyers confirmed the two moves already announced by the players’ agent, signing winger Danil Klimovich to a one-year, two-way contract, and for...
Both players are signed to two-way contracts.
The Philadelphia Flyers have had quite a few players on their wishlist this offseason, whether it be via free agency or trade.
They’ve been able to make some depth additions in net and up front, but the only change on the blue line has been a downgrade from Emil Andrae to Simon Benoit in the Joseph Woll trade.
However, they’ve also seen some of their targets go elsewhere or not include them on their trade list. Zach Werenski is one of the most recent names, although the Flyers could ...
Aston-Reese, an NHL veteran of nine years, has 102 career points in 416 games played.
The Philadelphia Flyers have been one of the more aggressive teams so far this offseason.
While general manager Danny Briere hasn’t made any bonafide blockbusters or groundbreaking moves — the Joseph Woll trade was nice –, the Orange and Black seem to be at least sniffing around most of the big names available on the market.
The Flyers are in need of a top-line center and a top-pair defenseman. Any time a player of that ilk becomes available, Briere should at least be checking in on ...
