We’re rolling on through these report cards, and now we’re talking about the forwards! Just a quick note, we won’t be talking about every single forward that dressed for a game this season, that would just be madness. So, if they played fewer than 10 games, or were traded out of the organization entirely (my…
New week, new installment of Phantoms report cards. We talked about the first half of the defense corps last week, and we’ll be rounding things out today. Let’s get right into it! Zach Palmquist. 66 GP, 3 G, 11 A, 14 P Grade: D Palmquist was brought in to start this season and he came…
Oh how the tables have turned for the Flyers’ two first-round picks in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Okay well Jay O’Brien was probably always going to be a bit behind Joel Farabee, but a forgettable NCAA freshman year has put the former Thayer Academy standout falling back in the Flyers’ crowded prospect pool while…
Back in August of 2018 when the Philadelphia Flyers invited the lanky, Russian defenseman to take part in their rookie camp, little did anyone know that just a few weeks later they’d be signing him to an entry level contract. But after a strong showing in rookie – and subsequently training – camp, Yegor Zamula…
To kick off our annual tradition of the top 25 under 25 in the Philadelphia Flyers organization, we look to Sweden and defenseman Linus “The Hog” Hogberg. The 2016 fifth-round pick may have slipped one position from our winter rankings, but that says more about the added depth in the prospect pool than the skill…
In August, we talk about prospects. The BSH 25 Under 25 is an exercise we take part in twice a year here at Broad Street Hockey, wherein we rank and take a long look at the best young (under the age of 25, to be precise) talent in the Flyers’ organization, whether they’re on the…
[Update: the poll is now closed to new entries. Thanks to all who participated and enjoy the 25 Under 25! Original post below.] It is extremely The Offseason up in here. We are in the desert of hockey news, waiting desperately to see which RFAs will end contract stalemates and which old guys will be…
There’s something to be said about consistency. After just barely missing out on our Top 25 Under 25 two summers ago, forward and current Ohio State senior Tanner Laczynski burst onto the scene with a great sophomore season and found his way to No. 19 in our mid-season rankings in the winter of 2018. The…
Back in 2013 when Paul Holmgren made Samuel Morin the Flyers first round pick, many had their doubts and knew this would be a project type of player. Well, that has proven to be the case and then some. It feels like Morin has been on this team forever and yet not at all at…
Well, folks, the Flyers seem to have found themselves their starter for the foreseeable future in Carter Hart, and that means we’re done talking about goalie prospects for the rest of forever, right? That’s how this works, right? Uh, not quite. With the Flyers having Brian Elliott under contract for one more season, they aren’t…
