Yesterday, we began to attempt to answer the question of what a potential contract extension with Ivan Provorov would look like. Provorov is eligible to sign a new deal with the Flyers this coming Sunday, and it wouldn’t at all be surprising for Ron Hextall and the front office to lock down the guy that…
For the second time in three seasons, Carter Hart has won the Vaughn Goaltender of the Year award. Hart was also a finalist for the CHL Player of the Year award; that award went to Alex Barre-Boulet of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in the QMJHL and Tampa Bay Lightning prospect. Carter Hart is the first goalie…

The other day I wrote about the Flyers’ goaltending situation and argued for keeping the status quo, that bringing back both Brian Elliott and Michal Neuvirth was the best thing for GM Ron Hextall and the team at this juncture. On second thought, screw it. Let’s blow this whole thing up, gang. This is a…

Brandon Manning started the 2017-18 season as a spare part on the Flyers defense, but injuries opened a door and he seized a spot in the regular rotation and PK, and even saw time on the 2nd PP unit. He was shredded by much of the fanbase because he was mistake prone and often placed…
Our goal with the 2018 SBN Mock Draft was to provide an entertaining, and somewhat realistic, experience for our readers and for ourselves. That led to us being active in discussing trades with numerous other SBN blogs. We completed three deals, and the last one was certainly the biggest. We (on behalf of the Flyers)…
Free agency begins this coming Sunday, July 1, and the Flyers could be active in any number of ways leading up to and after that time as they try and build on a roster that’s moving in the right direction but still may need some help to really take the next step forward in a…
