The Philadelphia Flyers 2024 Off Season Thread

Camp opening ….. over / under on days until Coots is announced injured ?

I'm rooting for him, I hope he can gain back at least 75% or more of his playing back, if not I hope he's man enough to do the right thing as I think he would.

Pshhh. The dude has been dealt a pretty shitty hand over the last several years and I don't think much of it is his own fault. So, let's shit on him again?...Lol

This guy is probably still our best all-around player when he is healthy, so I'm rooting for him to bounce back, and I think he absolutely will. This isn't Ryan Ellis 2.0 and there is no real reason to think that either.

Despite improved outlook, Flyers believe ‘nobody can be too comfortable'

Last year, the Flyers were “a land of opportunity.” Is that still the case this time around as the club opens 2024 training camp?

Top Flyers Trade Destinations for Alexei Kolosov

With Alexei Kolosov apparently deciding against reporting to Philadelphia Flyers training camp, general manager Danny Briere and Co. are left in a bind. On one hand, the Flyers think very highly of Kolosov as a player and want him to honor the contract he signed last offseason. On the other...

If you sign a contract, then don't honor it, you should have to sit out for the remainder of that contract until it's over with no pay.

Ducks make Gudas 9th captain in franchise history

The Anaheim Ducks named veteran defenseman Radko Gudas the ninth captain in franchise history Thursday.Gudas is the first player to wear the "C" for the Ducks since Ryan Getzlaf retired at the end of the 2021-22 season. We're proud to announce Radko Gudas as the ninth captain in Ducks...

It feels like Gudas should be retired by now, but at 34, he's not quite as old as I had thought.

Our first preseason game is Sunday afternoon at 3 pm against the local team here in Virginia.

I agree 100%, my good man.

Deslauries-Poehling-Hathaway

York-Sanheim
Zamula-Ristolainen

In practice this morning. So that leaves something like...

Tippet-Frost-Michkov
Farabee-Cates-??? (Luchanko or Barkey?)

Seeler-Drysdale


As the NHL-ish groupings?

Lots of depth everywhere, except for in net, because of the Hart/Kolosov mess. Some decent players are going to not dress and some won't even make the roster.

Probably this:

Foerster - Couturier - Konecny
Tippett - Frost - Michkov
Farabee - Laughton - Brink
Cates - Poehling - Hathaway

York - Sanheim
Seeler - Drysdale
Zamula - Risto

Ersson - Fedotov

Deslauriers and Johnson not dressed. Ellis and Johansen on IR. Everyone else with the Phantoms or back to whatever league they were playing in.

I would be very surprised if its Luchanko as he only turned 18 about 3 weeks ago.

There will be tons of young guys to call up from the Phantoms in case of injury, but he isn't one of them. Definitely too young.

I got lucky that the game was on the NHL network and i was able to watch.

They really played with their B team but they won the Calder cup last year so most of them will be pros.

Brink was excellent with 2 goals both back hand shots in which 4 of 6 were from the back hand.

Farabee was all over the place in the offensive end

Luchanko played very well with 2 assists. H is way better than i thought he'd be on the defensive side of the puck in the 2 games I've seen him play.

Both goalies looked really solid . Ersson DNP.

We had 2 PP goals Welcome to Philly Matvei Michkov.

Frost played excellent on the offensive end 2 goals and an assist not so much in our own end.

We played without Couts ,TK,Laughton, Foerster and most of our defense

Didn't get a chance to watch either preseason game, thanks for the recap! Most of what I read was Brink was fantastic, Frost/Michkov showed some chemistry, and Luchanko was better than expected for a barely 18 year old. All of those things are really good news. I would love to see Luchanko light up the OHL this year.

Got crushed by Montreal last night, but road preseason games typically have a lot of non-NHL guys and that's what the roster looked like to me last night too.

Hoping to catch some of the game on Thursday. Also hoping Michkov plays in it. I want to get a look at this guy.

Yes we did get crushed last night but it was a second game of a back to back. Why they have back to backs in preseason ill never know.

I didn't see last nights game but from the looks of the box score it was a 1-0 game in the 3rd and that scrub Petersen let in 4 goals on 12 shots.

Nice to see Couts back and play 17 plus minutes.

Also everyone's favorite defenseman is back and it looks like Risto played a pretty good game.
