When the Philadelphia Flyers signed perennial backup goalie Dan Vladar to compete for a starting job last summer, they couldn't have imagined it would turn out the way it did. Vladar proved himself to be a legit starter between the pipes, and was a huge reason the Flyers were able to surge into the playoffs for the first time in six years. Now, with only one year left on Vladar's two-year contract with a $3.35 million AAV, the two sides are close to a long-term extension. 👀 Per sou...

The Philadelphia Flyers are making a ton of trade calls trying to land a defenceman, and it turns out the Buffalo Sabres are quietly emerging as a trade partner. The Flyers have had trade interest in Bowen Byram for quite sometime, and word is general manager Daniel Briere has been in contact with the Sabres about a potential swap including Owen Tippett.

Darnell Nurse has played his final game in an Edmonton Oilers uniform.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek reported Thursday that Nurse has officially requested a trade, and Stan Bowman has essentially told the veteran defenseman the organization plans to move him this summer.
What followed was one of the more surprising developments of the early offseason for Philadelphia fans.
Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that league sources confirmed not only mut...

Although their season ultimately ended in disappointment against the rival Philadelphia Flyers, the Pittsburgh Penguins exceeded expectations and put together a far stronger campaign than many fans and analysts anticipated.

We’re continuing to chip away at our season reviews around here, but before we get too deep into dissecting the seasons of some of the Flyers’ top contributors, it’s worth taking a bit of an intermission to remind ourselves of all of the work that the supporting cast did around them.
The season is long, after all, and to keep the whole operation going, at times, contributions over the shorter term are required from players elsewhere in the organizational ladder. Some of these stopgap impa...

The Philadelphia Flyers have put Owen Tippett on the trade market. Tippett, 27, is signed through the 2032 season at $6.2 million AAV, and with the arrival of Porter Martone, Tippett's been pushed down the depth chart, and the Flyers could be looking to cash in on his strong season. The 27-year-old winger scored 28 goals and 51 points in 81 games last season, and owns a 10-team no-trade clause, so he'll have some say in the matter. Daily Faceoff's Matt Larkin recently had Tippett on his summer...
The Philadelphia Flyers are looking around in the trade market for a defenseman and according to reports are at least interested in Oilers blueliner Darnell Nurse. While it might initially make zero sense, there is a world where it’s a great trade for Philadelphia.
How quickly things change. Two out of the last three seasons, Edmonton defenseman Darnell Nurse was part of a team that went to back-to-back Stanley Cup finals, losing both times to the Panthers. Nurse, now 31, was eating up a ...
On the BSH Draft Board, we’re officially at the spot where the Flyers will pick on Friday, June 26: No. 21. The honor goes to Elton Hermansson on our draft board, a toolsy Swedish right winger who played the majority of the season with MoDo of the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan.
Hermansson is unquestionably in the second tier of this year’s Swedish draft class. Below Ivar Stenberg and Viggo Bjorck, Hermansson fits in a tier with defenseman Malte Gustafsson and Alexander Command in this c...
