For many years under the leadership of Bobby Clarke and Paul Holmgren, the organization often traded draft picks to get what they wanted for the main roster for the here and now. Even though many picks were traded, some were kept and used by the Flyers with varying degrees of success. Obviously not every draft … Continue reading Top 5: Flyers Prospects That Didn’t Pan Out
Top 5: Players The Flyers Skipped Over in the Draft
Drafting outside of the first fifteen to twenty picks in the NHL is a crapshoot, but there are a times the Flyers would like a do-over. Organizational drafting before the Ron Hextall-era was not a pleasant experience. In the 109 picks from 2000 to 2014, only 47 played for the team. Five of those 47 … Continue reading Top 5: Players The Flyers Skipped Over in the Draft
Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Nashville Predators
As a late-90s expansion draft team, and more often than not a playoff contender, It's no surprise some strange players have suited up for the Nashville Predators over the years.

Top 5: Flyers Reunited with the Team
Sometimes the second time is the charm. Whether their first stint in Philadelphia was less than impressive, or they were brought back via trade or free agency because they meant so much to the franchise the first time, returning players are always welcomed back to the Flyers organization they once called home.

Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Buffalo Sabres
Since their inception in 1970, the Buffalo Sabres organization has seen many changes. They have gone through 19 head coaches, eight general managers, and eight owners, and with that many different schools of thinking, there were bound to be some random players that suited up for the Sabres over the years. Number 5- Raffi Torres … Continue reading Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Buffalo Sabres
Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Arizona Coyotes
The Arizona Coyotes have been somewhat of a "dumping ground" in the NHL. They are a team that often takes on contracts of veteran players from teams around the league who are looking to clear some cap space. Older players typically have a big cap hit, but a small actual salary, perfect for a cash-strapped … Continue reading Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Arizona Coyotes

How The New Prospects Will Help The Phantoms
The Flyers organization has recently been touted for their prospect depth. And while that still remains true, there was a bit of a gap at the professional level during the 2019-20 season. With almost every high-level prospect now in the NHL, it left a huge hole for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Top prospect Morgan Frost … Continue reading How The New Prospects Will Help The Phantoms
The All-Time Heritage Series: Team Greece
We all know the powerhouses of international hockey: Canada, Russia, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, and the United States. These nations have put together impressive squads with and without NHL players throughout their storied histories. But imagine for a moment the teams that are not hockey powerhouses. The ones that play without the bright spotlight … Continue reading The All-Time Heritage Series: Team Greece
