We wrap up this year’s Community Draft Board with an offensive defenseman out of the WHL, Tanner Molendyk. At 5’11 176 pounds he isn’t the biggest guy, but he makes up for this with his incredible skating ability. Molendyk started the season with most people thinking he was a sure fire first round pick. As…
It’s all anyone can talk about just hours away from the first round of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft: Where will the Russian phenom Matvei Michkov go in the first round. Well, according to at least one reputable source, it seems like we know that Michkov will not go lower than seventh overall on Wednesday…
Last week the Flyers announced their “new era of orange” by … scoring their jersey release video with Jim Jackson goal calls from the 90s. As disingenuous as “new era” may be, I guess I can tip my cap to marketing. As long as this era doesn’t include Mambo No. 5 like that one did….
After a few futile years, Chuck Fletcher’s leash was lengthened even further and the former Flyers general manager dug the organization’s hole a little deeper last summer. Fletcher’s failures in Philadelphia will long affect the Flyers – and they’ve already caused a snag in one transaction that we know of. Over the weekend, it was…
The 2023 NHL Draft class has been heralded as one of the best we have seen in a very, very long time. But what has been missing from the first 30 or so picks has been a true pest. A teenaged prospect that despite not even being fully developed as a hockey player just thrives…

After what felt like weeks but was in reality only a couple of days of reports and speculation and rumors, the Philadelphia Flyers have finally actually traded center Kevin Hayes to the St. Louis Blues. The Flyers are sending Hayes to the Blues with 50 percent of his salary retained in exchange for a 2024…
Most of the defensemen we have discussed and the reputable scouts have at the top of the 2023 NHL Draft class are more well-rounded than we typically see. Because of just how much talent is at the center position and at forward overall, the blueliners that are going to be selected in the first round…
*Shout out to Noah Cates for receiving both Calder AND Selke votes at last night’s NHL Awards, which everyone definitely knew was happening last night! *Anyhoo, happy Draft Day Eve!! Big day tomorrow. Maybe a big day today if some of these rumored trades pop off. Anyway, you’re coming to our party tomorrow, right? [BSH]…
We’re clocking in for our final week of the Community Draft Board! Can you believe how far we’ve come! If you’d believe it, we’re back again with another tie, and we’re kicking things off with Bradly Nadeau, a high-scoring winger from a familiar Penticon Vees club, of the BCHL.
