3 bold ways to fix the Flyers’ power play next season
You don’t have to be a hockey expert to know that the Philadelphia Flyers need to improve on the man advantage. They’ve been one of the worst teams on the power play year over year, no matter the personnel or coaching staff. It almost seems like a curse at this point. Last season, the Flyers converted on a league-low 15.7% of their power-play opportunities. That was somehow an improvement over the prior year when they went 15% on the power play, and 12.2% the year prior. Since the 20...
Insider Projects Matvei Michkov's Next Contract AAV
It was a tough sophomore season for Matvei Michkov with the Philadelphia Flyers. So much so, that some around town were even suggesting a trade could be in order, until GM Danny Briere shut down the talk shortly after their season ended. But if the 21-year-old Russian is sticking around after his entry-level contract expires at the end of next season, what could it cost the Flyers? That's the question that was asked of Flyers insider Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff . After ...

Rick Tocchet reveals what impressed him most about Matvei Michkov this summer
It’s nearly the end of July, but there’s no shortage of things to talk about surrounding the Philadelphia Flyers this week. That’s partially due to Matvei Michkov, who draws eyes no matter what he’s doing. This time, it was another Michigan goal in the KHL “Match of the Year” charity game in Russia over the weekend. Michkov still thinks a Michigan goal in the NHL is ahead of him, and everyone marveled at his lacrosse-style tally as part of a hat trick in that game. That includes...
Flyers 2026 Top 25 Under 25, No. 22: Ty Murchison
Going from one defenseman knocking on the door for a spot as Rasmus Ristolainen’s potential future replacement to another, we turn to check in with fellow Phantoms defenseman Ty Murchison. Having just wrapped up quite a promising, albeit brief, rookie season in the AHL, Murchison made quick work of adjusting to the professional game and certainly made himself some fans in the organization along the way. There’s still another gear left for him to hit, but he’s acquitted himself well, and m...
Jamie Drysdale opens up about Zegras friendship, Michkov drama, and Carlsson offer sheet
Jamie Drysdale has emerged as an important piece of the Philadelphia Flyers. The bar was set high when he was acquired in the Cutter Gauthier trade in January 2024, and after a year and a half in Philadelphia, Drysdale had a bit of a breakout campaign last year. Drysdale scored a career-high eight goals and tied a career-high with 32 points in 78 games last season. That production and his defensive development helped him earn a four-year, $26 million contract extension this summer. ...

Did the Flyers do enough to keep up in the Metropolitan Division?
The true dog days of the NHL offseason are here. Only a handful of impactful players remain unsigned, and the rumor mill has slowed to a crawl. As July comes to a close, it’s a good time to look back on what teams have done so far this offseason. We all know what the Flyers have done, but how have the rest of the teams in the Metropolitan Division fared this summer? Let’s take inventory of each team’s biggest additions and subtractions in an attempt to figure out where the Flyer...
How Flyers starting goalies have historically fared in their second season
When he was signed last season, nobody could’ve fathomed how big of an impact Dan Vladar had on the Flyers. Originally considered to be competition for Sam Ersson, Vladar worked his way into a long-term extension while also making Ersson quite disposable. He was remarkable in year one. Now, that year is over and done with, and the second year is all that matters. Over their history there have been 67 Flyer goaltenders. But there have only been a select few to have essentially been the pro...
Wednesday Morning Fly By: Gonna put the Mich in Michigan
*Matvei Michkov scored a Michigan in a charity game and now he can’t stop talking about it. We love a laser-focused king, don’t we folks? [ BSH ] *Evidently Matvei passed up vacation to focus on his training and some Noted Experts seem to think that ought to be enough to get Rick Tocchet off his back. Maybe. We’ll see. [ Yahoo ] *Now what do we always say summer is for? That’s right, class. Summer is for lists. Like this one, of guys we think the Flyers should consider bringing in on...
Flyers 2026 Top 25 Under 25, No. 23: Hunter McDonald
After a pretty volatile rookie season in the American Hockey League, defenseman Hunter McDonald worked through the bumps of a slow start to the season to turn himself into one of the Phantoms’ more dependable defenders by the time the end of the season rolled around — and earned himself a bit of time up in the NHL, joining the team for a road trip in January and then making his proper debut in the final game of the regular season, as a result. The state of his stock in relation to the res...
Matvei Michkov will keep trying to score a Michigan in NHL: ‘I believe it’s still ahead of me’
Matvei Michkov has yet to score on a Michigan attempt in the NHL, but he hit another one over the weekend in Russia. The Philadelphia Flyers winger was once again a part of the “Match of the Year” charity game at SKA Arena in Saint Petersburg, alongside other NHL stars like Alex Ovechkin, Artemi Panarin, and Mikhail Sergachev. Michkov trained with these Russian stars leading up to the game over in his home country. It was his second straight year participating in the charity match, a...
Flyers prospect Brek Liske is building a more versatile game
With the Flyers’ drafting of defenseman Brek Liske in the second round of this year’s draft, the circle became full. Liske’s lifelong Flyers fandom is well-documented , and his landing in this organization has made for, no doubt, a nice moment, and one which has opened the door for quite a bit of reflection. Liske returned to the Flyers practice rink to get his first bit of work in as a member of the organization last month, turning to the next page in his career, but also bringing to min...

5 free agents who could make sense for the Flyers on PTOs
Flyers general manager Danny Briere has done a lot of business this summer. Aside from the attempt to get Anaheim’s Leo Carlsson, pretty much everything else he’s done has come off looking like a win. Tyson Foerster, Dan Vladar, Trevor Zegras, and Jamie Drysdale will be with the club for the next little bit after contract extensions to the quartet. As well, he most likely upgraded the backup goaltending position with Sam Ersson leaving, and former Leafs keeper Joseph Woll arriving. Simon Benoi...

Tuesday Morning Fly By: 55 days
*Nothing is happening so might as well start counting the days between us and the first (preseason) game of the year, eh? According to me counting on my fingers and then asking Alexa to confirm I know how to count, we are 55 days away from puck drop. Matvei Michkov, for his part, has been doing his best to make sure he’s ready to go, and he told us all about it.

Flyers 2026 Top 25 Under 25, No. 24: Max Westergård
The Philadelphia Flyers have a bounty of wingers who are on the smaller side, but overcome their lack of physical height in the way that they approach the game with some aggressive forechecking and the ability to move around the ice well enough. So, how about another one? Max Westergård comes in at No. 24 of our 2026 Top 25 Under 25 ranking after an impressive first season as a Flyers prospect. No. 24: Max Westergård 2025-26 Primary League/Team: Frolunda HC U20 (U20 Nationell) 2025-...
Matvei Michkov details offseason training, return timeline to Philadelphia
Almost every single Philadelphia Flyers fan is heading into next season with some sort of anxiety. It can be about how the team did not make any obvious upgrades over last season’s roster and now they’re heading into a more competitive Eastern Conference. The Flyers might even end up not being favored to be even close to making the playoffs. While that is a genuine concern, it doesn’t match the level of anxiety that we all have when it comes to what Matvei Michkov is going to look like at...
