While they were wrapping up their draft goings-on this past Saturday, the Flyers apparently snuck a minor move in under the radar, as they gave restricted free agent defenseman Mark Alt a one-year, two-way contract extension. The contract was first reported and confirmed on Saturday night by capfriendly.com, which says that the deal will pay…
Back in April, days after the Flyers’ season ended, we wrote about the 10 biggest questions facing the Flyers this offseason. From Brayden Schenn’s contract to an R.J. Umberger buyout to the draft to free agency, there’s a lot to wonder as we ask how Ron Hextall plans to get this group from the fringe…
After adding two-way center German Rubstov to the organization in the first round of the 2016 NHL Draft, Ron Hextall was faced with a new task on Saturday. Ten picks remained, and Hextall’s aim would be to stock an already-impressive pipeline with fresh talent. The stated goal of Hextall and the Flyers prior to the…
It’s Emancipation Day in the Netherlands Antilles, and that means it’s time for NHL Free Agency! As always, the free agency period — and thus, officially, the 2016-17 NHL year — kicks off at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT, and it’s expected to be a busy one as always, even if the Flyers…

They chose to be mostly quiet, adding bottom-six forwards Dale Weise and Boyd Gordon along with a host of players who will likely spend the 2016-17 season in the AHL. With the unrestricted free agency period…
Monday afternoon was the deadline for NHL teams to extend qualifying offers to restricted free agents under their control, and the Philadelphia Flyers did just that with five players: Brayden Schenn, Nick Cousins, Brandon Manning, Petr Straka and Jordan Weal. That leaves two RFAs without qualifying offers: Derek Mathers and Brandon Alderson. Both will now…
Free agency is mostly in the rearview mirror. The NHL Draft came and went. The national hockey reporters are on their yearly vacations. Even the early July prospect development camps are finished. It’s almost time for the uneventful days of summer on the hockey calendar to begin. But for fans of the Philadelphia Flyers, there…
The Flyers, as usual, will be making quite a few appearances on national television next season. NBC Sports announced the 2016-17 national broadcast schedule for the United States, and the Flyers are on it 20 times. That’s second-most in the league behind the Chicago Blackhawks, who will appear 21 times on national TV. The Flyers…
