The Philadelphia Flyers have one foot in being a somewhat competitive hockey team and the other foot still in a rebuild. While they are coming off a surprisingly successful season, making the playoffs and even winning a round, they aren’t going to be going all-in on this current roster and think that they’re just a couple pieces away from hoisting the Stanley Cup in the not-too-distant future.
It’s a difficult dance to perform and it’s extremely unorthodox in this modern NHL. We’re so use...
After making the playoffs for the first time since 2019-20, the Philadelphia Flyers had a headline-grabbing—yet ultimately tame—offseason. Their record-setting offer sheet attempt at Leo Carlsson was matched by the…
*You’ll be shocked to learn that the BSH Photo Library, courtesy of the great Heather Barry, contains zero pictures of Luke Glendening. He’s so dynamic! Anyhoo, yesterday we talked about Corey Pronman’s latest ranked list, and today we bring you some detail about the Flyers that appeared. [ BSH ]

The Philadelphia Flyers have agreed to terms with forward Nolan Foote on a one-year, two-way contract.
We’re in the dog days of August, and we have yet another ranking that is generating some discussion.
Corey Pronman, the senior NHL prospects writer for The Athletic, released his list of the top NHL players and prospects aged 22 or under as of Sept. 15, 2026.
Pronman notes that his ranking is based on who he thinks will have the best NHL careers, so players like Zach Benson, who already has 101 points in 211 NHL games, may be ranked lower than you’d think. That also is an attempt to ...
Foote spent 2025-26 with the Florida Panthers and their AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers.
On July 1, 2025, Dan Vladař signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers. On July 1, 2026, he did this same thing; this time, a 5-year extension. Our Justin Giampietro…
The fit between Philadelphia and underdog identity has been hand in glove for decades. This is a blue-collar city. A pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps mindset. You’re never afraid to back down and you carry yourself with a grittiness that can’t be matched. But with this comes an overarching theme that we aren’t supposed to get the job done. […]

The Philadelphia Flyers still need finishing, and one insider believes a familiar name sitting on the open market could be the answer. Per NHL Network's Mike Rupp , Vladimir Tarasenko would be a strong fit in Philadelphia. "I think the Flyers are a team that needs more finishers," Rupp said. "Just like I talked about Patrik Laine not needing many opportunities to shoot the puck and score, Vlad Tarasenko is the same way. I'd like to see him in Philly. I think that would help them out." A Power ...
The Philadelphia Flyers took care of some internal business on Tuesday, as the team announced they've re-signed Hunter McDonald to a two-year contract extension. OFFICIAL: We’ve signed defenseman Hunter McDonald to a two-year, two-way/one-way contract worth an average annual value (AAV) of $912,500. #LetsGoFlyers — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) August 18, 2026
The 24-year-old defenceman is inked to a two-way deal that sees his NHL average annual value land on $912,500. McDonald's a homegr...
The Flyers had a terrible power play, but not a great penalty kill. We take a look at what Tocchet-led teams have done in Tocchet's second year in comparison to his first year with Tampa, Arizona, and Vancouver.
The deal will carry an AAV of $912,500.
Out long national nightmare is over. We were all waiting with bated breath for just when the Philadelphia Flyers were going to re-sign all of their restricted free agents. We were pacing our respective living rooms. A trail has been deeply worn in all of our carpets and our family is concerned for us. We can’t stop fretting.
Well, thank goodness we can finally get some peaceful sleep. The Flyers have signed defenseman Hunter McDonald to a two-year contract, as announced by the team on Tue...
It was a productive year for number nine on the Top 25, Jack Berglund. The big left-handed center is up six spots from his winter ranking in early 2026 (and 11 spots from last August), helped by a big showing on the international stage and scoring his first AHL goal towards the end of the season. We thought we might get to see more of him in North America in the 2026-27 year, but he’s just been loaned back to his Swedish Hockey League club , Färjestad BK. Berglund should have a lot of confiden...

Anyhoo, while we’re talking counts, we’ve reached the top-10 of this year’s 25 Under 25 and up first at the bottom is Jett Luchanko. A guy who never inspires too much debate, right? [ BSH ]

The Philadelphia Flyers' offer sheet to Leo Carlsson has made for a very difficult summer for Pat Verbeek and the Anaheim Ducks . After matching the $18 million AAV five-year offer for Carlsson, they are still faced with having to sign restricted free agent Cutter Gauthier. He of the 41-goal breakout season. The Ducks have reportedly offered Gauthier a 4-year deal with a $13M AAV. It has been flatly rejected by the player and his agent, Kurt Overhardt . Cutter Gauthier has re...
As the next season looms — just one month until the official opening of training camp — inflection points present, big and small, for team and players alike up and down the Flyers’ organizational ladder. Some have more to be made of them than others, and one of the players set to make a less perhaps slightly less publicized pivot is Flyers defense prospect Spencer Gill.
Gill, having just wrapped up his time playing in the QMJHL this past spring, is set to graduate up to the pros and...
Now we get it back to the Flyers: Stumbling upon this tweet stirred many emotions in me. The first one, of course, was amazement. It’s weird to see a Flyers goalie on any sort of good list. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in my life. My guarded, knee-jerk reaction was to think it’s […]

As soon as the Philadelphia Flyers selected center Jett Luchanko with the 13th overall pick at the 2024 NHL Draft, it was a controversial decision. Instead of going with the online consensus of defenseman Zeev Buium or Finnish center Konsta Helenius, the Flyers went with the speedy, detailed center out of Guelph. Unfortunately, it’s not looking to hot but there is a world where his stock goes back up to some previous hype levels fairly soon.
And now, he’s getting a slight demotion in our ...
With a great first impression, a strong playoff run, and a new five-year extension in his back pocket, Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar is having a good 2026. And it seems the NHL Network has given the netminder some kudos in his direction, putting him eighth in the outlet’s Top 10 goaltenders at the present time.
Vladar was praised for his consistency and stellar work, with him third in goals-against average overall (2.42) for goaltenders who played a minimum of 35 games. “It was a really im...

The internet is chock full of armchair GMs who salivate at the thought of acquiring their favorite players for their team, or trading for that one position on the team at its weakest. One mock trade we found online was for Philadelphia Flyers RHD Rasmus Ristolainen . No longer than namesake he used to be early in his career; he thrived under head coach John Tortorella, as a physical RHD with limited offensive upside. Last season, he played only 44 games, scoring 14 points (1 goal, ...
