The US National U18 team has a lot of really good prospects this year with the likes of Jack Hughes and Cole Caufield leading the way. Another really good prospect is the Bedford, NY native Trevor Zegras, who is projected to go early in the first round. Lets have a look and see if he…
The Philadelphia Flyers have nine draft picks in next week’s 2019 NHL Entry Draft. They entered the offseason with ten, but general manager Chuck Fletcher decided to flip a fifth-round pick to the Winnipeg Jets for Kevin Hayes’ signing rights in an attempt to fill a roster need. In his pre-draft press conference yesterday with…
Two years ago the Flyers were fortunate enough to see the ping pong balls fall their way and vault up the draft to select No. 2 overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. The prize ended up being Nolan Patrick, and while the jury is still out on the center after his second NHL season,…
The major focus on the USA Hockey program this season has been of course the projected first overall pick for seemingly two years now, Jack Hughes. However, there’s a lot more talent in the USA Hockey pipeline, and one of those names is Alex Turcotte. The 18 year old Wisconsin Badger-commit was a force this…
This year, as in all drafts, there are some skaters who have taken a huge step forward with their respective clubs. From scoring 48 points in 68 games in his first juniors season, Arthur Kaliyev went on to score 102 points, good for 6th in the OHL, and in fact seven behind current Flyer prospect…
Claude Giroux has arguably been one of the biggest comeback stories in the NHL. Just two short years ago, the collective fan base was fearful that the Flyers’ Captain was in serious decline. In the 2016-17 season, Giroux totaled just 58 points, his lowest total since 2009-10 (excluding the lockout shortened season). Fans were rightly…
It’s almost that time, folks! We’ve been digging into some options and talking a lot about this upcoming draft (and will be talking even more about it in the days to come!), but we should also take a few moments to dig back into past drafts. Because, if you haven’t noticed, we have a whole…
According to the team, Philadelphia Flyers’ prospect Matej Tomek will play the 2019-20 season with HK Dukla Trencin in Slovakia’s Tipsport Liga, the nation’s highest level of ice hockey. This will be the goalie’s second time leaving an NCAA program in an attempt to garner more playing time since the Orange and Black selected him…
Peyton Krebs is an interesting case in this year’s draft. His ability as a forward is perhaps masked by the team he plays for. With the Kootenay Ice, he’s not had a lot of talent to play with, and therefore, his stat line does not look as impressive as Morgan Frost or Isaac Ratcliffe. However,…
In his first stint in Philadelphia, James van Riemsdyk failed to live up to the lofty expectations placed upon him as the number two overall pick. In his return to the Flyers this season, he lived up to the expectations and posted a strong yet injury shortened campaign. The forward proved to be the goal…
