Philadelphia Flyers: Short Sighted Positives vs Long Term Rebuilding

There's nothing wrong with winning. For some reason, there's a section of the fanbase that believes if you don't celebrate like they won the Cup every time they win a regular season game against the Coyotes, you don't want the Flyers to win at all.

The Cost of the Flyers Acquiring Elias Pettersson

Atop the Philadelphia Flyers' wishlist heading into the 2024 offseason is a high-end, offensively-dynamic top center to jumpstart the team's offense.

Sam Reinhart is a pending unrestricted free agent, Trevor Zegras may be able to be had via trade, and 34-year-old Steven Stamkos has … Continue reading The Cost of the Flyers Acquiring Elias Pettersson

Are the Philadelphia Flyers Actually Rebuilding? The Trade Deadline will Finally Give Some Clarity

The 2023-24 Philadelphia Flyers season has been a tale of two different sides of the same story. The team has finally gained its footing after a miserable free fall for much of the last three seasons, but it has led to a very "ready, fire, aim" kind of feeling as the overachieving group has overshot … Continue reading Are the Philadelphia Flyers Actually Rebuilding?
