Back in 2013 when Paul Holmgren made Samuel Morin the Flyers first round pick, many had their doubts and knew this would be a project type of player. Well, that has proven to be the case and then some. It feels like Morin has been on this team forever and yet not at all at…
Well, folks, the Flyers seem to have found themselves their starter for the foreseeable future in Carter Hart, and that means we’re done talking about goalie prospects for the rest of forever, right? That’s how this works, right? Uh, not quite. With the Flyers having Brian Elliott under contract for one more season, they aren’t…
Poor Cam York never had a chance. OK, that’s a bit of an overstatement. Flyers fans seem more than willing to give the newest big-name defensive prospect to enter their system the time to show what he can be. And his placement on our rankings shows that our panel is already impressed, based on what…
In the 2017-18 season, Wade Allison was one of the fastest-rising prospects in the Flyers system. He started his season with 30 points in 22 games, and looked to be a strong candidate to win or at the very least be in contention for the Hobey Baker Trophy. Then, Allison went down with a torn…
While fans were clamoring for the Flyers to take in impact scoring forward — and one in particular— with their first-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, the team instead opted to take a high-end defenseman with their pick and find a forward later on. GM Chuck Fletcher would do just that, trading back…
We talked about Felix Sandstrom last week, and the state of the Flyers’ goalie prospect pipeline, and this wasn’t too long ago, so we’re not going to recycle the same “the Flyers have a starting goalie already so we don’t care about goalie prospects anymore BUT WAIT MAYBE WE SHOULD” joke and just get right…
After being “Hak’d” for most of the first half of the 2018-19 NHL season, the second half is where Oskar Lindblom shined. The 2014 fifth round draft pick has turned himself into one of the better draft finds this team has had in recent memory, and could very well be due for a breakout season…
When the Flyers drafted Joel Farabee last year, it looked like an extremely good pick that was going to pay major dividends. Since then, all the first round pick has done is almost average a point per game in his freshman year on a not-so-good Boston University team, and score five points in seven games…
The 2017 NHL draft was a special one for the Flyers. They jumped from the expected 13th overall pick to the 2nd overall, grabbing Nolan Patrick. They also were able to draft Morgan Frost with the pick they acquired in the Brayden Schenn trade. Patrick has now become an established NHL center with potential to…
We’re nearing the fall and the start of a brand new hockey season, and we’re pretty excited and also just about ready to start talking about this coming season. But wait, not so fast! We still have some feelings about last season and we need to work through those first. That’s closure. Or something like…
