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...
The Flyers’ longer term goaltending situation is getting complicated. With reports coming down that an extension for Dan Vladar is effectively already in place , it’s clear that the Flyers feel that they really have something in their new starting netminder, but beyond that, the situation is less certain. The backup role is not quite settled, and the Flyers have a couple of prospects in Aleksei Kolosov and Carson Bjarnason who are still chipping away at it in the AHL, but don’t look nearly rea...

It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Flyers were in deep trade talks with the St. Louis Blues about center Robert Thomas before last year’s deadline. They need to get a top-line center somehow and Thomas was seen as a fairly perfect fit. But now we know exactly what St. Louis wanted in return and there’s a reason why the deal didn’t happen.
On paper, Thomas really is the perfect fit for the Flyers. He’s a 26-year-old, right-handed center that can skate extremely well and has regularly put...
Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reported Thursday that Dylan Larkin has requested a trade from the Detroit Red Wings , and within hours the Philadelphia Flyers emerged as one of the potential landing spots.
Two team sources confirmed to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Mike Sielski that the Flyers have strong interest in Larkin.
The caveat arrived just as quickly. Larkin is not currently believed to consider Philadelphia among his top preferred destinations.

Detroit Red Wings center and captain Dylan Larkin’s trade request has drawn league-wide attention, but his destination options appear highly constrained due to his full no-movement clause, which gives him authority over where he can be dealt. Larkin has provided Detroit with a “short list” of acceptable teams, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. […]

The 2026 NHL Draft isn’t starting for a few weeks but we might as well skip the whole process because we know who the Philadelphia Flyers are going to be selecting with the first-round pick at 21st overall already. They’re just making it so obvious.
Saturday was the final day of the 2026 NHL Draft Combine, as all the top prospects came down to Buffalo to speak with any team remotely interested in them, hop on a bike, lift some weights, make some jumps, throw up a little bit in a garbage c...
The Philadelphia Flyers have been linked to quite a few potential trade targets recently. After the team bolstered its center depth by adding Trevor Zegras and Christian Dvorak last offseason, they’re now focused on getting a pivot who can play atop the lineup, or at least has the potential to do so.
We’ve talked about Mason McTavish, Mat Barzal, and Matty Beniers over the last week or so, but those all went to the side on Thursday afternoon when it was reported that Dylan Larkin is reque...
The Philadelphia Flyers made strides as a team this past 2025-26 season, snapping their playoff drought and winning a series against the Penguins in round one. Although the sweep to Carolina might have left a bitter taste, it was a season with a lot of promise and positives. Some of those pluses came in the form of recognition by the Professional Hockey Writers Association (PHWA) and others around the league who gave some nods to Flyer players (and a coach). While the Flyers are still looking ...
This week, the NHL is holding the Draft Combine as a showcase of the draft class’ skills and physical traits. Typically, this is a week where we start to get an idea of what players are on each team’s boards, as the players that the teams speak with are often made public. The Flyers are no different, as we’re starting to get an idea of the players the Flyers may like at No. 21.
According to the Inquirer’s Jackie Spiegel, here are a list of the players the Flyers met with at the Comb...
Every single team in the NHL follows the same path from taking their foot off the gas just ever so slightly to rebuild — in an either tear-it-all-down sort of way or just making some key trades to set them on the right course — but it is the end result that truly matters. Some period of not being competitive at all, to varying degrees, which is then hopefully followed by a longer stretch of time where the team is competitive and potentially even contending for the Stanley Cup.
The Philade...

The Pittsburgh Penguins were one of the NHL’s biggest surprises in 2025-26, ending a three-year playoff drought after winning 41 games and finishing second in the Metropolitan Division. Although the campaign ended with a six-game first-round loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, it represented meaningful progress for a franchise that had spent the previous few years […]

It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Flyers are going to explore as many avenues as possible this offseason to try and upgrade their roster. Whether that is aiming as high as they can to nab a first-line center to solidify this forward group for the next few years as they push into being regular playoff contenders; or maybe just getting a solid defenseman who could be on the younger side, so that they can feel better about trading away Rasmus Ristolainen — which would also do the same playoff ...
The Philadelphia Flyers have locked in forward Jacob Gaucher for another season, agreeing to a one-year, two-way contract extension for the 2026-27 campaign. The deal carries an NHL cap hit of $850,000 and includes $280,000 in guaranteed money, with Gaucher earning a $250,000 salary while playing in the American Hockey League, according to PuckPedia. Gaucher, […]

The Flyers are settled into their offseason already, but they’re still finding time to chip away at their smaller bits of business left on the docket. The most recent development for them comes with the announcement that they’ve re-signed center Jacob Gaucher to a one-year, two-way contract extension, which carries an average annual value of $850,000 ( per Puckpedia ) and covers the penultimate of his final two seasons before he hits unrestricted free agency.

With reports Thursday afternoon that longtime Detroit Red Wings center (and captain) Dylan Larkin is requesting a trade out of town , the Philadelphia Flyers might have found their top-line center essentially falling into general manager’s Danny Briere’s lap. But is it too good to be true? Are there some major red flags that come with a Dylan Larkin trade to the Flyers?
Of course, a few things would have to happen in order for Larkin to end up wearing the Flyers sweater for the next five ...
