Ladies and gentlemen, the Valtteri Filppula experience has now lasted 101 games. The Finn was acquired from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline two years ago to slot in as the Flyers’ third-line center, but the results have been less than stellar to say the least. Ron Hextall knew he was getting a declining player…
Where do you see yourself in five years? Many of us have probably asked or been asked that question at some point in our lives. Five years has become the arbitrary future timeframe through which we’re often asked to try and plan our lives. It’s a period of time in which a lot can change,…
It’s never too early to think about potential line combinations, right? With the news of James van Riemsdyk’s return to Philadelphia on 5-year contract worth $35,000,000, the Flyers have their new (old?) top-6 winger, and more importantly, will be bringing in the type of player they so desperately need – a volume shooter. Coming off…

Before we begin, a quick disclaimer: John Tavares is almost certainly not going to play for the Philadelphia Flyers next season or in any other season of his career. What follows this paragraph is almost exclusively wishful thinking and dangerous conjecture. … OK, we got that out of the way? Cool, let’s daydream. One of…

Petr Mrazek’s time in Philadelphia was brief, mildly frustrating, and it was over before it could really start. For the last few seasons, Mrazek has been touted as a player who had the potential to be a number one goalie in the NHL, but was never able to fully beat out Jimmy Howard in Detroit….

Among the Flyers’ top free agent needs is penalty kill help, speed, and adding scoring to the bottom six. And luckily for Ron Hextall, there’s one free agent on the market this year that can provide all three: Michael Grabner. Not only is Grabner one of the NHL’s fastest skaters, but he’s also scored 27…
