[ BSH ] *Alright but really, here are some players the Flyers might want to think about targeting now that the free agency window has opened.

Latest report reveals what a Darnell Nurse trade would cost the Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers want to upgrade their blue line and are looking down several avenues at several defenseman that they can acquire to do so. One of those defensemen is Darnell Nurse and now we know more of what the trade talks between the Flyers and the Edmonton Oilers are like, and what a future trade could look like. We know that the Flyers are interested as much as one team can be when getting a player that their current team so desperately wants to get rid of. We know that Nurse...
Flyers’ Nikita Grebenkin returns to the ice
It’s been a long journey, but it seems the Flyers forward Nikita Grebenkin has finally turned a corner. We recall, Grebenkin took an upper-body injury all the way back in their game against the Sharks on March 21, and while the initial timeline for his return was a manageable 7-10 days, that endpoint came and went without further update, and before we knew it, they had reached the playoffs, then the regular season, without so much as a sign of him taking part in a rehab skate. The of...
Report: Flyers re-sign Carl Grundstrom to one-year deal

Although the team has yet to make it official, the deal means the forward will be part of the Flyers mix when training camp begins in September.

Reasons why the Flyers should think twice about trading for Zach Werenski
The Flyers are reportedly interested in Zach Werenski, the current Norris Trophy holder. But does acquiring the defenseman come with some possible risks? We take a look.
5 former RFAs the Flyers should target in free agency
The NHL offseason is in full swing and with every passing day comes a new deadline for a team to file something or submit something to the league, or just make a decision with a certain type of player. On Monday, all 32 teams had to send qualifying offers to their restricted free agents to keep their rights — the Flyers sent qualifying offers to just four of their 10 restricted free agents . Those players that did not receive qualifying offers are now unrestricted free agents but are much youn...
Tuesday Morning Fly By: Get ready to get silly
*Development camp kicked off yesterday and we’d like you to get to know the 11 kids who got an invite this year. [ BSH ] *And now that you’ve gotten to know the New Guys, we’ve got five players we think are worth keeping an eye on as this week’s camp rolls on. [ BSH ] *Looking back on the draft one last time (probably not the last time), some Noted Experts chose their favorite pick from each round and, believe it or not, your Philadelphia Flyers make an appearance.

Maksim Sokolovskii is already showing off at Flyers Development Camp
It was the first day of Flyers Development Camp on Monday and it felt good again to see hockey being played again. Even though it’s been a shorter break than we’re used to, seeing actual skates on ice with pucks and sticks instead of thinking about hypothetical trades or reading the latest trade boards or listening to the latest trade rumors. Actual hockey, sort of. In the first instances of development camp, one prospect certainly stood out though: Maksim Sokolovskii. While not ever...
Report: Flyers qualify just 4 RFAs as 6 players head to free agency
The Philadelphia Flyers announced they’re extending qualifying offers to four players. Meanwhile there are six other players in the organization they haven’t. As a result, those six players will become unrestricted free agents. Although the team made the announcement prior to the 5 p.m. Eastern deadline, reports indicated the following players weren’t receiving qualifying offers : Karsen Dorwart, Christian Kyrou, Tucker Robertson, Brett Harrison, Artem Guryev, and Phil Tomasino. As a resu...
Which Flyers RFAs will get qualifying offers and which could leave?
The Philadelphia Flyers need to send a qualifying offer to all of their restricted free agents by 5:00 p.m. on Monday or else those players will then head into unrestricted free agency and be free to sign with whatever team they want. It’s essentially an NHL team checking a box saying “We want to keep you around, let’s continue our contract negotiations into the summer”. This year, the Flyers have a total of 10 restricted free agents they need to send these qualifying offers to, and not a...
Meet the 11 players invited to Flyers Development Camp
The Philadelphia Flyers are hosting their annual development camp this week. It’ll be the first instance where we get to see the newly drafted players on the ice wearing orange and black, seeing who pops and who could be more of a long-term project. We’ll also see some more established prospects like Porter Martone, Denver Barkey, and Alex Bump get to give some of their sage wisdom to the younger (albeit not by that much) players. But, what might be the third or fourth most fun thing at d...
5 players to watch at Flyers Development Camp
After a long and busy weekend of drafting, the Flyers are diving right into it this week, gather their prospects new and old for an equally busy week of action at Development Camp . The Flyers will have some of their exciting big name pieces still participating in this camp — guys like Porter Martone, Denver Barkey, and Alex Bump, who have some meaningful NHL experience under their belts, and who can still learn some things from this camp, to be sure, but who are also players we can reaso...
Monday Morning Fly By: The picks are in
*That’s another NHL Entry Draft in the books, and if nothing else, Danny Briere made sure people noticed what the Flyers were doing. The first move the Flyers made on Friday night was to trade back from 21 to 27 in order to pick up a couple more late round picks and to select, rather predictably, the largest 17 year old to ever live. [ BSH ] *Post first round, Briere explained what he was thinking when he did the thing everyone expected him to do. [ BSH ] *Here’s what the scouting co...
Leafs might have ruined a potential Rasmus Ristolainen trade
The Philadelphia Flyers have a hot commodity in defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. According to multiple reports, several teams are giving general manager Danny Briere a ring to see what they need to give up to pry the big Finnish blueliner away from Philadelphia. Unfortunately for us and for the Flyers, those inquiring teams just got a whole lot of leverage. The Flyers’ reported asking price, ever since Ristolainen trade rumors started to percolate once again at the last trade deadline,...

How experts graded the Flyers’ 2026 NHL Draft class
With six picks over the weekend at 2026 National Hockey League Draft, the Philadelphia Flyers didn’t wow too many people, but they didn’t seem to be the bottom dwellers when it came to drafting quality prospects.

Everything Brent Flahr said about the Flyers’ 2026 NHL Draft class
Philadelphia Flyers assistant general manager Brent Flahr spoke with the media Saturday afternoon after the 2026 National Hockey League Draft wrapped up in Buffalo. Flahr said the plan the scouting staff had going into the draft seemed to fall apart early on when the prospects they had targeted began being scooped up. “Our draft board early on it was cleaned,” Flahr said regarding the two-day event . “We had a lot of teams calling trying to trade up to get our pick and it went radio silen...
Report: Darnell Nurse wants to be traded to the Flyers
It certainly feels like the Philadelphia Flyers are going to try to do something to change up their blue line — could that involve trading for Darnell Nurse from the Edmonton Oilers? Nurse does have a full no-movement clause so he’s going to dictate where he ends up getting traded to after his time in Edmonton has almost certainly come to an end. And according to recent reporting, the 31-year-old defenseman has handed a list of just a few teams to the Oilers that he would be open to movin...
Flyers select Max Laatikainen with 213th overall pick in 2026 NHL Draft
And that’s a wrap! The Flyers closed out their 2026 Draft with one final selection, grabbing one more defenseman in Max Laatikainen. 🔶 WELCOME TO PHILLY! 🔶 With the 213th overall pick in the 2026 #NHLDraft , we are proud to select defenseman Max Laatikainen. pic.twitter.com/297y60HtvV — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) June 27, 2026 This Finnish defendseman breaks, in a way, from the mold that the Flyers have set elsewhere in this draft class, as his profile is more that of a...
Roundtable: Would you trade Matvei Michkov for Zach Werenski?
The Philadelphia Flyers could get aggressive this summer and it could involve getting the best defenseman to hit the open market since, well, Quinn Hughes less than a year ago. Zach Werenski could be edging his way out of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 29-year-old elite blueliner is fresh off of a Norris Trophy win and by all accounts, is sick and tired of spending his career on a team that is rarely (if ever) in the playoff conversation. While it is expected that the big players in the l...
Flyers select KJ Sauer with 136th overall pick in 2026 NHL Draft
The Flyers closed out their fifth round by selecting their first forward of this draft so far, picking up center KJ Sauer out of the Minnesota high school system. 🔶 WELCOME TO PHILLY! 🔶 With the 136th overall pick in the 2026 #NHLDraft , we are proud to select forward KJ Sauer. pic.twitter.com/RXVpZVbVEv — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) June 27, 2026 Sauer is a bit of a weird case, having missed much of this season with injury — and looking like he was still feeling some li...
Flyers just drafted the biggest Flyers fan ever
The first purpose of the NHL Draft is to get some young players in your organization and maybe get the next franchise cornerstone — or maybe get your giant 6-foot-8 defenseman that you hope is good enough to be a No. 4 — and improve the outlook of your team. The second purpose is having some good stories going on. With the 53rd overall pick, the Philadelphia Flyers selected right-handed defenseman Brek Liske from the WHL’s Everett Silvertips. On the surface, it looks like a very good pick...
Flyers select Marek Sklenička with 120th overall pick in 2026 NHL Draft
Don’t look now, folks, but it’s a run on goalies! After using their 62nd overall pick on Czech goaltender Martin Psohlavec, they took a bit of break until late in Round 4 and used their 120th overall pick to draft… another Czech goaltender. 🔶 WELCOME TO PHILLY! 🔶 With the 120th overall pick in the 2026 #NHLDraft , we are proud to select goaltender Marek Sklenička. pic.twitter.com/mJMmfxHyWo — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) June 27, 2026 And while Psohlavec presents as a bit...
