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. The Penguins not only finished second in their division but also secured their first Stanley Cup Playoff berth since 2022.

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...

*Heck of a game last night, huh? The winning team is now just one single win away from the Stanley Cup. Very exciting! (Can you tell this is being written before the game has ended?) Anyhoo, in case you missed it, we got a little clarity on this whole Leafs’ pick situation that seems unnecessarily confusing because the NHL is ridiculous. [ BSH ] *The Dylan Larkin saga continues, and perhaps Dylan Larkin doesn’t think the Flyers are the best fit for him but SOMEONE does. [ Inquirer ] ...
The Philadelphia Flyers are interested in trading for Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse, who has asked for a trade this offseason. After weeks of rumors that Nurse may have played his game in an Oilers uniform, on Thursday, it became official when it was reported that the longtime Oilers defenseman has asked for a trade […] The post Philadelphia Flyers Interested in Trading for Darnell Nurse appeared first on HEAVY .
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...

Since the beginning of June 2025, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere has made nearly three dozen moves. The majority of those were contract signings, while the rest involved trading and, in one particular case, a waiver pickup. Some of those signings were signing fairly simple entry-level contracts. Meanwhile, some trades were also of the minor league variety, giving players a fresh start with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms or a place to develop and get playing time. Overall, Briere ...
The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to turn a corner. They made the Stanley Cup Playoffs and won a round for the first time since 2020, and general manager Danny Briere has the team on the track to contention. It’s another key offseason for Briere and the Flyers front office, and that starts with the NHL Entry Draft in Buffalo on June 26. In each of the past few years, the Flyers had multiple first-round picks heading into draft night, and plenty of picks on Day 2 as well. However, ...
When the Philadelphia Flyers dealt Scott Laughton at the 2025 NHL trade deadline, it already looked like a good deal by general manager Daniel Briere. They received Nikita Grebenkin as well as a 2027 first-round pick in exchange for the longtime Flyers forward, a fourth-round pick, and a sixth-round pick. There were conditions attached to that Leafs’ first-round pick, though, and unless you’ve been living under a rock in recent months, you know how complicated things have gotten with that...
The Philadelphia Flyers are going to look for upgrades in certain positions. That’s one of the most obvious statements we can make — as a team that entered the playoffs and actually won a round, will obviously look to improve themselves to get back to that point (and maybe win two rounds) next year. But one of those areas in need of improvement for the Flyers is their blue line and they could be sniffing around a certain Edmonton Oilers defenseman that needs a new home. Darnell Nurse has ...

When the Philadelphia Flyers signed Christian Dvorak to his one-year contract last July 1, the idea was the Flyers were putting a short-term bandage on what looked like a significant problem. The center depth would still be an issue moving forward, but at least the Flyers had some semblance of an immediate answer to help Sean Couturier and Noah Cates carry the workload. The price of $5.4 million AAV was considered a bit steep, particularly for a guy who registered 33 points in 82 games la...
The 2026 NHL Entry Draft is going to be here before we know it. The scouting combine took place in Buffalo this past weekend, and we’re starting to get some post-combine mock drafts based on the information learned there. How much that information ultimately ends up factoring into teams’ decisions or not is another story, but the Philadelphia Flyers have been consistent in drafting based on at least one combine test. The Flyers have the 21st overall pick in this year’s NHL Draft. Aft...
