At the NHL draft last summer, the Flyers had six picks in the first two rounds alone.For this draft, they’re slated to make just four picks total over the seven rounds.That doesn’t mean the draft is no longer important to the Flyers, who are coming off a big step in their rebuild. For the first time since 2020,
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The Flyers have had some success with fifth-rounders from the Minnesota high school level.They’ll hope Kent Sauer adds to it.The club selected the 6-foot-3, 202-pound center Saturday out of Andover High School at No. 136 overall in the 2026 NHL draft.Sauer, who also goes by KJ, had 25 points (eight goals, 17 assists) in 15 games for Andover before playing five games with Lincoln in the USHL.

He had two assists in six games.The 6-foot, 185-pounder had a goal and an assist in five games
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The Flyers took another goalie Saturday on Day 2 of the 2026 NHL draft.They selected Marek Sklenicka in the fourth round at No. 120 overall. The 17-year-old played for the WHL’s Seattle Thunderbirds this season.In the second round at 62nd overall,

He was ranked No. 17 among international goalies on
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The Flyers went with another defenseman to open Day 2 of the 2026 NHL draft Saturday.In the second round at 53rd overall, the club selected Brek Liske, a 6-foot-1, 190-pounder from the WHL’s Everett Silvertips.

VOORHEES, N.J. — The Flyers are bringing back Carl Grundstrom on a one-year, $1 million contract.The deal was announced Wednesday.Grundstrom was set to become an unrestricted free agent. The 28-year-old forward gave the Flyers a solid lift in a bottom-six role after starting last season with AHL affiliate Lehigh Valley. He was somewhat of an afterthought when he came to the Flyers in the October trade that
The Flyers got an up-close look at Noel Acciari in the first round of the playoffs.Now they have him on their roster.The club agreed to terms with the bottom-six forward on a two-year, $5.6 million contract.

Danny Briere set off some fireworks before the Fourth of July.The Flyers on Friday tendered an offer sheet to Ducks center Leo Carlsson. The offer is a five-year, $90 million deal, which has an average annual value of $18 million.That would require four of the Flyers’ first-round draft picks over the next four seasons as compensation.In the next seven days, Anaheim has a chance to match that offer if it wants to keep Carlsson. The 21-year-old restricted free agent
When a team embraces a rebuild, so much is made of the timeline.How long will this take? When will it all fruit into victories and maybe even a parade?As Danny Briere has stewarded the Flyers’ rebuild, he has never disclosed a firm timeline. And that has been a wise approach. Why should he pin himself into a corner by offering a prediction?“I wish I could give you a timeline, but I’d be lying to you,”
Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale, two of the Flyers’ restricted free agents, filed for salary arbitration ahead of Sunday’s 5 p.m. ET deadline.Zegras and Drysdale are the Flyers’ most notable RFAs. As expected,

The Leo Carlsson hype in Philadelphia ended with a thud Thursday.The Flyers’ five-year, $90 million offer sheet to the restricted free agent was matched by the Ducks. So Carlsson will stay in Anaheim as the NHL’s highest-paid player with an $18 million average annual value.Danny Briere, who took a

The Flyers will kick off the 2026-27 regular season Wednesday, Sept. 30, when they welcome the Penguins to Xfinity Mobile Arena.It will be the earliest the Flyers have ever opened the regular season. It will also be the first time since 2022-23 that they’ve started the season at home.The game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT. It’ll be a rematch of the Flyers-Penguins first-round matchup from last season’s playoffs.
The headline for the Flyers and general manager Danny Briere this offseason will be: “Ducks match Flyers’ offer sheet for Leo Carlsson.”And while that’s the main story, there are many layers to the statement, as well as intentions of the Flyers’ front office that show a turning point, and even perhaps the end of the “rebuild” era.All you have to do is go back to Briere’s pre-draft media availability at which he discussed the Flyer
Trevor Zegras turned his career resurgence into a payday.The 25-year-old forward agreed to terms with the Flyers on a new four-year, $36.5 million contract Wednesday night. The deal has a $9.125 million average annual value, making Zegras the highest-paid player on the Flyers’ roster.The contract has a limited no-trade clause in Years 3 and 4, according to a source.Zegras was a restricted free agent with a

The Flyers probably had no concern about Dan Vladar meshing with a new backup goaltender.Part of the reason they didn’t waste any time signing Vladar to a long-term extension was because of his team orientation.“Tremendous leader,”
With all the travel, all the places and people, it would be hard to blame Jett Luchanko if he felt more like a nomad than a hockey player the last two seasons.Consider this: Luchanko played in Philadelphia, Allentown, Guelph, Brantford, Ottawa and St. Paul. That was for five teams at various levels, from the NHL to the AHL to the OHL and the world junior championship.All as a teenager.“It’s definitely a little bit exhausting sleeping in a different bed a lot,
Danny Briere crossed off his second-to-last restricted free agent of the offseason.The Flyers agreed to terms with Nikita Grebenkin on a two-year, $2.2 million contract Thursday night. The deal has an average annual value of $1.1 million. Grebenkin will remain a restricted free agent when the contract expires after the 2027-28 season.The 23-year-old winger had four goals and 10 assists in 55 games last season,
Jack Berglund won’t be in the Flyers’ North American picture this season until the end of it.The center prospect will play on loan for Farjestad BK in the SHL, Sweden’s top pro league. The 20-year-old had another year on his contract with Farjestad and wanted to honor it, according to a source.Farjestad is Berglund’s hometown team and he feels he has some unfinished business there after the club’s playoff exit last season. He should have a big role
Patrick Sharp and John LeClair both saw Porter Martone at Michigan State.And both were impressed.But the club’s hockey ops advisors did not expect the 19-year-old to do what he did when he joined the Flyers.“He was well-prepared for pro hockey,” Sharp said this month at development camp. “But for him to step in in the middle of a playoff chase and be an impact player right away with the great players we had on the Flyers, to be counted on in the p
Macklin Celebrini got paid Wednesday.And he can probably thank Danny Briere for some of it.The Sharks’ 20-year-old superstar center signed a five-year, $94 million contract extension. The deal, which doesn’t start until the 2027-28 season, has an $18.8 million average annual value, the highest figure in the NHL.The contract is awfully similar to the five-year, $90 million offer sheet
