Imagine, as a Flyers fan, that you’re presented with an opportunity to write about your favorite team for the best Flyers blog on the internet. Well, you can stop imagining, because that opportunity is right here in front of you. Broad Street Hockey is hiring writers to help cover the Flyers this offseason and beyond….
We previously looked at the Atlantic Division and there is a ton of potential there for Flyers to find players if the free agent waters prove to be unfruitful. The Metropolitan Division might be a different story. In-division trading is always a tricky thing between rivals, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t hold out…
Yet another goalie joins the fray! Today, the Flyers announced that Kirill Ustimenko has agreed to his entry level contract. The Russian (Belarusian born) U-18/20 international currently plays in the MHL (Russian Junior League) for Dynamo St. Petersburg where he posted a 0.927 % save percentage in 46 appearances (stats via elite prospects). He helped…
This is Part One in a four-part series looking at each division and their respective teams to determine a single player the Flyers should be realistically targeting this offseason. This list won’t include any team’s potential unrestricted or restricted free agents for an obvious disclaimer. Agree, disagree, have no comment? Please leave a comment below,…
Recently, I’ve put out two articles detailing the cases for and against Morgan Frost and Isaac Ratcliffe making the Flyers directly from juniors. However, today I wanted to look at some of the players we’ve seen in action before, but who we wouldn’t say are “on the Flyers”. I’ll be grading out whether or not…
Now that we’ve covered the Atlantic and Metro, let’s switch over to the Western Conference and see what the Central Division might be able to offer in a trade for our Flyers. Do I mention all the logical choices? Please tell me how I’m wrong in the comments below. Colorado Avalanche Tyson Barrie has been…
Traditionally, quantifying the quality of competition that a player faces has been done through one of two ways. The first being based on ice time, and the second being based on on-ice metrics like Corsi and Expected Goals. While neither are without flaws, each way of evaluation gives us useful tools to separate those who…
Don’t hate the Flyers, hate the division. There are a ton of reasons why the Flyers haven’t had more success over the past few years, but one at the very top has been just how darn good their division has been. From the days of the Atlantic to the Metropolitan to date, the Flyers have…
As we head into Flyers General Manager Chuck Fletcher’s first offseason at the helm of the club, we’ll take a look at just what he could have up his sleeve in order to put his stamp on the roster. Fletcher’s predecessor, Ron Hextall, did leave the Flyers’ new boss a pretty well stocked cupboard full…
We’re finally at Part Four of this series after looking at all of the Atlantic, Metro and Central Divisions this past week. The Pacific has potential fruit to bear, but certainly at a cost. Vancouver Canucks Folks, I’m a bit stumped because there isn’t a whole lot here. You aren’t getting Bo Horvat, Elias Pettersson…
