We’re less than a month away from the NHL Draft in Vancouver, which can only mean one thing. (It actually means several things, but, well … OK?) It’s time, once again, for the SB Nation NHL mock draft. Every year, using the expertise of our 31 site managers across the SBN network, we go through…
After a disappointing 2016-17 season in which the Flyers missed the playoffs, their fortunes, and the team’s trajectory, changed in the offseason when they were handed the #2 pick in the 2017 draft. The result of that event, Nolan Patrick, has split the fan base. There are those who plead patience with the 20-year-old center,…
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 already sinking well into what’s primed to be a very long off-season for the Philadelphia Flyers. With the playoffs nearing their end and staring down the Stanley Cup Final, we look on jealously, as we are wont to do around this time, and spend some time reflecting on the season and just what went…
All anyone has been able to talk about with this year’s NHL Entry Draft, and for good reason, has been the dynamic duo of American Jack Hughes, and Finland forward Kaapo Kakko. The two will undoubtedly go first and second overall on June 21 in Vancouver and will most likely be instantaneous or shortly thereafter…
We have a little less than a month until the draft, and to help everyone get through this lack of Flyers-related news we’re asking you, the Broad Street Hockey community, to think back on the 2018-2019 season (yikes, our apologies) and create a collective rating for each player. We’ll be submitting our own ratings as…
After starting the season in the form they did, it was always assumed that the Flyers would be selling at the trade deadline. Along with a conditional fourth round pick in the 2020 NHL draft, the Flyers received Ryan Hartman in the deal that sent Wayne Simmonds to the Nashville Predators. The former first round…
Back at the end of May, we made our pick for the Flyers in the SB Nation NHL mock draft, grabbing BCHL forward Alex Newhook with the 11th pick. That was scheduled to be the Flyers’ only pick of the first round, so why are we bringing it back up? BECAUSE WE HAVE A TRADE…
We’re just about one month away from the opening of free agency, and this also means we’re a month away from teams being able to get truly diabolical and drop offer sheets on their opponents’ good, young RFAs. Now, we know that GMs are cowards—we haven’t seen an offer sheet since what feels like the…
There’s going to be a lot of talk over the next couple of weeks leading into the 2019 NHL Draft as to who the Flyers should take at 11th overall. And to be fair, I think there’s going to be a lot of quality talent available at the 11th pick, such as some of the…
