The Philadelphia Flyers 2025 Off Season Thread

[Maverick426h]

Well, the Leafs appear to be cooked. The defending champs are still the champs until someone knocks them off. Carolina should get their shot next. That will be a war, for sure.

Its not the end of the world as only Sanheim really developed under Shaw .

Ya, not the end of the world. But Risto and Seeler certainly qualify is having developed under Shaw. Albatross of a contract and journeyman 6/7 dman to legit top 4 guys. And Drysdale seemed to be heading a good direction.

But, not the end of the world. Hopefully those guys don’t regress and others (York) benefit from a different voice.

Feels like another year of “the leafs should probably blow it up” offseason on tap. But I guess we’ll see what the 3rd brings.

Well that's all in the rear view mirror now. In Danny B we trust!

If either Dallas or Florida or both win their conference finals it will be the 6th year in a row that a no tax state makes it to the cup.

Since 2020 there has been 7 out of the 10 teams in the cup were from a no tax state and we could have 2 more this year.

Something has to be done about the advantages these teams have.

Wouldn’t we need to correlate free agent signings to no tax states ? And also see how many free agents signed for less money to go to a no tax state - but then equalize for the state income tax ? The other thing that would be interesting to see is if the list of teams players will go to in limited NMC’s overwhelmingly favor no state income teams.

This is fun. Some beat writer needs to do an investigative report.

So teams in no tax states

Tampa
Florida (Miami)
Dallas
Vegas
Nashville
Seattle

Arguably also higher living desirability.

Yeah, abolish the income tax. Don't need it. Does nothing for me. They fund the government with printed money they pretend to give to banks.

NHL Mock Draft 2025: Predicting all 64 picks of the first two rounds with Pronman and Wheeler

How will the first two rounds of the 2025 NHL Draft shake out? Corey Pronman and Scott Wheeler alternate picks in this mock.

www.nytimes.com

#6 Jake O'Brien C
The Flyers strongly consider center Brady Martin and winger Porter Martone here, but O'Brien's smarts come the closest to matching Matvei Michkov's, and they bet on that pair working in sync.

#24 Jack Nesbitt C (6' 4")
In one fell swoop, the Flyers rebuild their pool's center depth. O'Brien, Jett Luchanko and Nesbitt give them their potential top three Cs of the future.

#25 Logan Hensler RHD
Hensler slides, but it ends here as the Flyers use their third pick of the first round on the 6-2, mobile puck-mover who was up and down as a freshman.

#36 William Horcroff C 6' 4"
The Flyers add more size with Horcoff, betting that a positive second half at Michigan and U18 worlds is sign of things to come. He's got pro attributes for an NHL bottom six.

#40 Ivan Ryabkin C
The Flyers can afford to take a swing with their bevy of first-round picks and they take a big one on the talent of the mercurial and frustrating Ryabkin. They've taken three Russians in the last two drafts as well, so he'll have some countrymen in the organization.

#45 Eddie Genborg LW
A true throwback Flyers type of pick, Genborg is one of the most physical players in the draft while also having a strong athletic toolkit and some offensive touch.

#48 Nathan Behm RW
Philly adds Behm, who was a riser in the first half. While he regressed a little in the second half, he's still a pro-built 6-2 winger who scored 30-plus goals in the WHL this season and makes sense for the Flyers.
