It seems we’ve survived the storm that was the opening day of free agency, and we’ve got a lot to work through here, folks! The Flyers made eight signings on Monday, and the Phantoms chipped in four of their own, which all works out to a whole lot of new faces that we could be…
The other day we got to check in on the 2016 draft class (insert link to Johan’s second article), but its crazy to think we are now two years removed from the 2017 NHL Entry Draft (you know, when the Flyers moved from 13th to 2nd in the draft lottery). The Flyers drafted some kid…
*Dev camp is over. The frenzy of July 1 week has come and gone. The other camps are for weeks. It’s going to be boring for a bit here in Flyersville, methinks. Seems like a good time to revisit the 2016 draft class, no? [BSH] *Matthew Strome is making the jump to the AHL and…
Ron Hextall and Chris Pryor were extremely busy during the Draft in 2016. The Flyers originally held the 18th overall pick but they traded that pick and the 79th pick to the Winnipeg Jets for the 22nd pick and the 36th pick. With the two picks the Flyers received from the Jets trade, they selected…
*AMERICA!!!!!!! ahem. Anyhoo, not much happening in hockey this week. Big news for us was the not-shocking news that Scott Laughton filed for arbitration.

*Summer is slow and all but, remarkably, People Online are still talking about whether or not Sean Couturier is a legitimate 1C. What a time to be alive. Anyhoo, a few days ago we took a look at the front half of the Flyers’ 2016 draft class. Now let’s talk about what we should expect…
The offseason content rolls on even if the offseason action has slowed. The gang dives deep into development camp observations and discuss the possibilities of some youngsters filling the void in the current bottom-six forwards. Joel Farabee, Morgan Frost, German Rubtsov, Isaac Ratcliffe are all discussed at length. What’s going on with Wade Allison as…
*If you’re still struggling to find something to be excited about re: this Flyers team, try thinking about the fact that we are finally going to see all of these talent prospects get to prove themselves in the NHL. [BSH] *Meltzer, with a post-dev camp look at what it will take for the Flyers’ more…
*Bored yet? Whatever; the Flyers still need to sign Ivan Provorov and Travis Konency, so that’ll happen at some point. Eventually. Hopefully. Here’s what is up with that.
