With the preseason still months away, there has been plenty of discussion with the Flyers NHL roster pretty much locked except for the third line right wing. A lot of that discussion involves who will be playing on what line for the wingers, and especially for the second and third lines. The first line would…
As of the 16th of July, in the year two-thousand and nineteen, the Flyers have not reached an agreement with either Travis Konecny or Ivan Provorov on a new contract. However, today, they did re-sign somebody whom they hope will contribute next season. The Flyers announced this afternoon that they signed Nicolas Aube-Kubel to a…
There’s a bit more excitement about the Flyers heading into 2019-20, but there’s also a massive elephant in the room —and a familiar one to the franchise. Yep, we’re gonna talk about goaltending. On the surface, there shouldn’t be an issue here given that prodigal son Carter Hart burst onto the scene a year ago…
Update: I replaced the Winnipeg Jets example with the Carolina Hurricanes because of a miscalculation regarding their arena capacity. They hit 100% attendance on average and the capacity used was for concerts which is different from hockey games. Last week, I wrote an article detailing the Flyers’ salary cap situation and how the outlook may…
While the Flyers were able to sign one of their remaining restricted free agents on Tuesday —Nicolas Aube-Kubel— it was a signing from another team that really caught our eye. That would be the Capitals announcing a two-year, $3.35 million deal for Jakub Vrana. The “bridge” deal as it’s come to be known, gets the…
Well, gang, we’re past the midpoint of the month of July, and Ivan Provorov still doesn’t have a contract. This probably isn’t what we were expecting–the initial hope by both player and team was that they would have a contract done by May, and then Provorov would go to join the Russian team to play…
Not too long ago we looked at a few breakout candidates for the Flyers in 2019-20, but there’s one player who should be in for a big season that doesn’t fall under that category.

Slowly but surely, the Flyers are tying up their final loose ends. The team locked in another RFA, changed leadership, and the gang is left wondering what that latter event means for the identity of the team. And since it’s summer, and the gang is a little bored, they dive into the ridiculous things that…
*If the Flyers are going to be a different team this season, they’re going to need Kevin Hayes to be the center depth they’re hoping for. [Flyers] *If you’ve been wondering what Michal Neuvirth has been up to, it’s your lucky day! Looks like he’s been given a tryout with those Toronto Maple Leafs. It’s…
Chuck Fletcher has a Minnesota bias. It’s an idea that we’ve been tossing around, positing as fact all off-season, but now that things seem to be quieting down, it seems an appropriate time to investigate this. Is this true? What exactly does this Minnesota bias entail? And how prominently is it presenting? The first piece…
