We’re back, and we’re still talking offer sheets. Earlier this week we talked about Kasperi Kapanen, and what it would look like if the Flyers were to bring in a depth player like him. Now, we’re moving on to look at a player up a tier. How do we feel about a Matthew Tkachuk? Like…
Another day, another Phantoms recall to give a season review. After a pretty stellar start to the season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, which saw him record 28 points in his first 22 games, Phil Varone earned himself a call-up to the Flyers. *Movie trailer voiceover voice* It was a big opportunity given to a…
I have one burning question for you, the readers of Broad Street Hockey, and it demands answering: what were you doing in 2003? For many of you, this is a question you aren’t interested in answering, because it reminds you of the horrific passage of time and the fact that we are all inching a…
This year, we’ve learned quite a lot about Travis Konecny. He further cemented his chemistry on the top line with Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier (his most common linemates, occurring 27.1% of the time), and was a key supplementary piece to that line. However, while he showed consistency throughout the year, when given his own…
Today we wrap up our look at the risers and fallers within the top 30 for both the North American and European skaters rankings with a look at who dropped in the final Euro rankings. There are plenty of intriguing prospects at the top of the European ranks, even if they fell a few spots…
In what was undoubtedly the final year we’ll see Michal Neuvirth in a Flyers jersey, the 31 year old goaltender just played seven games in another injury plagued campaign. Did he at least play well in those final seven games in orange and black? Well … not exactly. By The Numbers Basic Stats GP SV%…
The Flyers have traded for Kevin Hayes, perhaps filling a huge need down the middle for the club. BREAKING: We have acquired forward @KevinPHayes12 from Winnipeg in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. https://t.co/LhPG1pvcmP — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) June 4, 2019 Hayes, 27, is an unrestricted free agent on July 1st,…
When Scott Laughton was drafted back in 2012, the hope was there he could be sort of a Mike Richards replacement with his great defensive abilities and emerging offensive talent. The Oakville, Ontario native was the 20th overall pick in the draft and after a few years of not really having a solidified role on…
The Philadelphia Flyers goaltending situation last year was anything but stable, but among all this craziness there was one good thing that came out of it and that’s Carter Hart. He started the year with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, and as a first time pro he struggled to some extent during the start of the…
As our own Maddie Campbell explored earlier, the Kevin Hayes trade and (potential) signing could have an interesting ripple effect. The addition of a legitimate 2nd line center relieves pressure off of the young Nolan Patrick, allowing him to step into the 3C role. In turn, this also cements Scott Laughton’s role as the 4th…
