The Philadelphia Flyers 2024-2025 Season: Progressing Towards Lord Stanley's Cup

[Maverick426h]

Also, to my point about even strength scoring. We've scored 180 goals, just behind playoff teams like Toronto, Edmonton, Los Angeles and Carolina. How amazing is that!? Lol

And for God's sake, load up that top power play unit!! We should have the talent to score with Konecny, Michkov, Tippett, some growth from Drysdale and a big forward in front yet to be named.

Flyers GM Briere open to trading draft picks, looking to make team better now

The Flyers have seven draft picks in the first two rounds this June at the 2025 NHL Draft. It sure sounds like they will not use them all.

Unless there's an absolute stud then I say don't waste the picks you have, stockpile a few more and then use it next draft to get the kid you were referencing earlier.

That's a great thought, but nobody drafting #1 overall with a generational talent on the board is gonna just trade that pick away. Danny B has to steal a player from another team or two here eventually. A player they have given up on that is still young and with a lot of potential.

This could be an option and yes it can be done but we would have to give up a lot to get it done. Probably a lot more than we would be comfortable giving up. IMO Our best chance of getting McKenna would be tanking again next year and hope for a lucky ping pong ball. From what ive heard from Danny B i dont think he has any plans on tanking next year. We could always get lucky though and hope a GM out there is as bad as Hextall.

I would think the current bottom dwellers will be the same bottom dwellers next year. All are in “rebuild” mode. No one is going to give up the next McDavid. Tanking is the only option to get the #1 next year.

Give away everyone 25 now.

Owen Tippett should've had 30 goals and 55-60 points this season based on his trajectory. Well, he's only at 19 goals and 39 points. Ouch!! No excuses either. This dude is freshly 26 years old with already 341 games of Nhl experience. You got paid too, my man. Where is the damn production!?

This is a guy that shows immense talent on occasion and then nothing special for 3, 4 or 5 games. If he's not gonna be a 30 goal scorer, we got ripped off in that extension. I think he will be, but it has to happen asap.

He's the kind of guy that could be good on a good team but why bother on a crap team?

Pretty good outcomes so far today in terms of lottery odds. Let’s hope Seattle can beat the Sharks in the late games.

The West really knows how to tank.

Hope the Flyers can figure out how to get 50 points next year.

Realistically Flyers at the best they can do now from bottom up. Need to stay there at #4

The Flyers are so far removed from this wprld but it is a good Hockey story for sure. Ovechkin gets by Gretzky's record, a record that has been in place since 1999.

Alex Ovechkin scores goal No. 895 to break Wayne Gretzky's NHL all-time goals record

Alex Ovechkin scored his 895th career goal, breaking the NHL record held by Wayne Gretzky since 1999.

The coolest thing is he scored the goal in the same number of games as Gretzky played.. How crazy is that ?

The scariest thing is that he trails Gretzky in assists by 1200......

Im not sure but i think Gretzky played most of his career with a redline and the two line pass rule, something Ovi never had to worry about.

Perhaps now the Capitals can focus on actually winning hockey games instead of setting up OV to break the record...Lol

OV has 7 goals in his last 7 games, but they lost 5 of those games.

They need to wake up fast or they will get taken out by a hungrier team early in the playoffs.
