Report: Flyers sign Nolan Foote to a one-year contract
The Philadelphia Flyers have not yet made it official but reports indicate that the team has signed forward Nolan Foote to a one-year contract. The deal most likely will see Foote begin the season in the American Hockey League to play with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. The #LetsGoFlyers signed 25 y/o F Nolan Foote to a 1 year two-way contract NHL: $850K Minors: $300K Rep'd by Kurt Overhardt @the_team_hockey https://t.co/jj6TQ5l3E0 — PuckPedia (@PuckPedia) July 3, 2026 The contrac...
Flyers face competition from Oilers in Claude Giroux sweepstakes
The Philadelphia Flyers have struck out on a large portion of what they wanted to get done in the first few weeks of the NHL offseason, but there is a big possibility of them reuniting with longtime franchise legend Claude Giroux in free agency. It all makes sense. The Flyers could use a player like him — a faceoff specialist, someone who won’t want anything more than a one-year deal, a very solid playdriver, and someone great on a power play — but now they’re going to face some competition. ...
Porter Martone is building his leadership role at Flyers Development Camp
As the Flyers’ annual Development Camp has gotten rolling through this week, another opportunity has come to pass to see a wide variety of prospects, at a wide variety of places on their own developments — some prospects just looking to get their footing after being drafted last week, others working up thebranks and fine tuning their games, and, perhaps most critically, some with good NHL experience in the back pocket already, looking to continue to put in the work and serve as a good example ...
Friday Morning Fly By: Back to the waiting game
*Flyers GM Danny Briere made some comments about their projections and expectations for next season that seemed to ruffle some feathers, but maybe we should reel some of those bad feelings back in an really unpack those quotes and the Flyers’ situation. [ BSH ] *The Flyers wrapped up a nice bit of business in the first day of free agency, even if it didn’t come with a huge and flashy move made right from the jump. [ PHLY ] *That big move might still be coming, as we watch the unfoldi...
Report: Flyers interested in trading for Morgan Rielly
It has been one of the top storylines of the Philadelphia Flyers offseason, but now a couple days into NHL free agency, they have not yet addressed their desire to upgrade their blue line. General manager Danny Briere wants to make a significant improvement among their group of six defensemen and while he has certainly tried to do exactly that, it’s not happened yet for various reasons. So, what if they then just move on to their next target and possibly the best defenseman that’s still a...
The pros and cons of bringing Claude Giroux back to the Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers have an opportunity to reunite with franchise legend Claude Giroux in free agency. But should they? Let’s comb through the case for and against bringing back the captain that was a part of our lives for so long. As of Thursday, Giroux is without a team, and without a contract. The 38-year-old winger spent the last four seasons with Ottawa, and missed only one regular season game in that chapter of his career. That’s a rather remarkable stat considering how the body...
Report: Flyers close to signing Jamie Drysdale to multi-year extension
The Philadelphia Flyers are still doing some business the day after free agency opened. According to reports, the Flyers have locked up young defenseman Jamie Drysdale to a contract extension. The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta dropped an important update on the contract negotiations between Drysdale and the Flyers. It surely seems like the team will show their commitment to the player, signing him to a long-term contract extension that will reportedly be around a $6-million AAV. T...
Danny Briere’s controversial comment on Flyers’ offseason shouldn’t be controversial
The online world of Philadelphia Flyers fandom was in chaos on Wednesday night. As Flyers general manager held a press conference after doing a bunch of deals in the first few hours of NHL free agency and said one little sentence that served as a spark for thousands of people to let out their emotions about the team overall. In the very final question of his 18-minute media availability, after combing over the contract extensions of Tyson Foerster and Dan Vladar, adding a veteran like Noe...
Thursday Morning Fly By: Moves were made
*That’s day one of free agency in the books, and the Flyers did some stuff! Maybe there weren’t any big spicy meatballs, sure, but they did some stuff. The first thing we heard about we kinda already knew they did. [ BSH ] *Next up was Tyson Foerster, who GMDB inked to a nice long extension. [ BSH ] *Outside of locking up these two important roster pieces for the foreseeable, it was all depth moves for Danny Briere’s front office yesterday. Added a bit of depth down the middle with a...
Danny Briere explains why the Flyers didn’t make a blockbuster move as free agency opened
At the end of the first day of free agent frenzy Wednesday, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere re-signed goaltender Dan Vladar and winger Tyson Foerster to sizeable contract extensions, added some depth in fourth-line center Noel Acciari , and fleshed out the roster somewhat with players seemingly destined for Lehigh Valley. However, the big move or signing some had anticipated never materialized. As of Monday evening, John Carlson is not in Philadelphia. Nor was current Norris T...
Report: Flyers are still in the mix to sign Claude Giroux
Day One of NHL Free Agency is more or less in the books, and Claude Giroux remains a free agent. This morning, Pierre LeBrun reported that there could be a reunion in Philadelphia as the Flyers were expected to be among the teams trying to sign Giroux in free agency. Giroux took some time after the season to mull over his future before deciding to come back and play another season. However, that won’t necessarily be in Ottawa. While the Senators remain hopeful that they can come to t...
Flyers add organizational depth, sign Jack Studnicka, Cam Dineen
It’s been a busy opening to free agency for the Flyers, and while they knocked out their big bits of business earlier in the day — locking down key players in Dan Vladar and Tyson Foerster to long-term extensions — they closed out the day with an announcement of a handful of moves to bring a bit of added depth and stability to their AHL squad. The Flyers confirmed the two moves already announced by the players’ agent, signing winger Danil Klimovich to a one-year, two-way contract, and for...
Flyers reportedly ‘pushing hard’ for John Carlson with Darnell Nurse off board
The Philadelphia Flyers have had quite a few players on their wishlist this offseason, whether it be via free agency or trade. They’ve been able to make some depth additions in net and up front, but the only change on the blue line has been a downgrade from Emil Andrae to Simon Benoit in the Joseph Woll trade. However, they’ve also seen some of their targets go elsewhere or not include them on their trade list. Zach Werenski is one of the most recent names, although the Flyers could ...
Flyers’ reported interest in Mavrik Bourque made no sense
The Philadelphia Flyers have been one of the more aggressive teams so far this offseason. While general manager Danny Briere hasn’t made any bonafide blockbusters or groundbreaking moves — the Joseph Woll trade was nice –, the Orange and Black seem to be at least sniffing around most of the big names available on the market. The Flyers are in need of a top-line center and a top-pair defenseman. Any time a player of that ilk becomes available, Briere should at least be checking in on ...

Report: Flyers sign Danila Klimovich to a one-year deal
The Philadelphia Flyers did some bigger business with Dan Vladar, Tyson Foerster and Noel Acciari on Wednesday during free agent frenzy. However, they also managed to do some adding to their pipeline by signing former Vancouver Canuck prospect, forward Danila Klimovich to a one-year deal. The team hasn’t yet made the announcement official, but Klimovich’s agent Dan Milstein tweeted the news. Congratulations to Danila Klimovich on signing a 1-year NHL contract with the Philadelphia #LetsGo...
Flyers add veteran forward Noel Acciari on two-year deal
The Philadelphia Flyers have actually signed someone on the first day of free agency. The gates have opened and general manager Danny Briere has swooped in to add some more depth to this roster as they look to make it back to the playoffs once again. According to multiple reports, the Flyers have signed center Noel Acciari to a two-year contract, which carries a value of $2.8 million.

Report: Flyers sign Tyson Foerster to long-term extension
The Philadelphia Flyers were expected to do a bit of contract business with the extension to goaltender Dan Vladar. What many weren’t expecting was an eight-year extension to winger Tyson Foerster that begins in the 2027-28 season. According to multiple reports, the Flyers are locking up the 24-year-old forward for the long term and betting big on his talents. He was slated to be a restricted free agent next summer and is entering the final year of his two-year bridge deal. A couple ...
Flyers re-sign Dan Vladar to 5-year, $27.5 million deal
It had been speculated for some time, but the Philadelphia Flyers made it official today: goaltender Dan Vladar is going to be here for a while. The Flyers confirmed a five-year, $27.5 million extension for the Czech netminder on Wednesday. The news comes on first day they could confirm that Vladar will be paid $5.5 million AAV (average annual value) once the last year of his current two-year $6.7 million deal ($3.35 million) concludes at the end of this season. According to reports , the five...
Report: Flyers pursuing Claude Giroux reunion in free agency

[ 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.

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
