The Philadelphia Flyers 2024 Off Season Thread

[eaglesnut]

I think Ed Snider was to blame on this one if I remember right. After Bob had a rough playoff he came out pretty strongly in public saying the Flyers wouldn't have a goaltending problem again and that they'd be active trying to acquire the best goalie available.

Bryz and his agent had all the leverage. Bryz was also apparently a headcase. And so they continue to pay his ass for 3 more seasons . Good thing it was a compliance buyout..

What might be the more egregious Panthers related error is the Flyers interviewed and then passed on Zito in 2019 to hire Fletcher

I agree Ed was a huge part of fucking this up.

If they folded Ed's team when he died, we'd have a better hockey team in this city right now. It should have happened. Fuck Comcast.

Flyers chairman Ed Snider sheds light on Sergei Bobrovsky trade: 'He wasn't going to re-sign with us'

Sergei Bobrovsky told Flyers management that he wouldn't re-sign with the organization to be a backup goalie during a time in which the Flyers were committed to Ilya Byrzgalov.

Well at least some Flyers have a Cup.

3 days until the draft!!!!! Woooohooooo!!!

But then sports are over

McDavid had 42 points in the playoffs. That would've been 5th on our team for the year.

Reinhart had 27 PPG for Florida this season.

As a team, the Flyers scored 31 PPG.......

It's embarrassing, but I think it's safe to say that Michkov is going to cure a lot of our power play sickness. He gives us some elite level offensive skill that we just have very little of right now.

Couturier is going to bounce back too and that will help everything.

"It’s not that we did not like Bobrovsky,” Snider said. “The whole thing was a fiasco. We can't look back. What happened, happened, and here we are.”

He was right about that lol. After signing Bryz there was no way Bob was going to stick around. Bryz was signed for 9 years, by the time he moved on Bob would've been an old guy too.

I liked having Snider as the owner for the most part. Dude wanted to win as much or more than the fans. It worked to have a competitive team year in and year out, until the cap. He never did make the adjustment to the cap world and the Flyers suffered as a result.

Which Flyers players does Michkov’s arrival affect the most?​

Looking at the depth chart on right wing, it’s safe to assume that Garnet Hathaway will occupy a spot on either the third or fourth line. That leaves Cam Atkinson and Bobby Brink.

Atkinson is probably as good as gone. He didn’t score a goal in his final 23 games, and could get bought out as soon as Thursday, when the window opens for teams to do that — unless Daniel Briere gets creative and finds a way to move him, thereby getting his entire salary off the books by next summer. Brink is a pending restricted free agent who needs a new contract, but that shouldn’t be an issue.

If Konecny gets signed to an extension, as is still the likeliest outcome, the Flyers’ top-six wingers for the foreseeable future could be Konecny, Michkov, Tyson Foerster and Owen Tippett. That’s a decent group to keep building around, as all of them have 30-plus goals per season potential.

Only until September 22nd when preseason starts. A couple of trips to Florida and maybe an island or 2 and it will be here before you know it.

Sennecke, a big winger set to ‘explode offensively,' will be on Flyers' radar

Beckett Sennecke, a big winger set to “explode offensively” next season, should be on the Flyers’ radar at No. 12 in the 2024 NHL draft.

There's also a 6' 6" player LeTourneau available towards the end of the 1st round.

But, perhaps we've suffered enough with players like Isaac Radcliffe.....

I personally think we need a center at the 12th pick.

I just post these so our board can get a look at who is out there.

2024 Flyers Mock Draft: Making all 9 selections in 7 rounds

The 2024 NHL Entry Draft is just days away and the Philadelphia Flyers have 9 total picks. We went pick-by-pick and made the selections for them.

Very high praise for his 2nd round pick. Camparing Freij's ceiling to Yemenchuk.. Does this guy know a a lot or is he crazy.

It depends on if we take a forward at 12 i think we may be looking at defense at 32.

Just my opinion but who really knows.

If Atkinson gets gone is there a way for Briere to hide Risto on the deal and not tell the trade partner??!! lol.

That's a blatant lie, I didn't watch a minute of it!

If Drysdale is healthy this coming season and secures a spot on the top unit, he may offer up a boost to the power play as well.
