The Philadelphia Flyers 2025 Off Season Thread

[lasgop8]

I need a job that pays millions and have no responsibility for the outcome of my work.

I agree with this 100%. Seems like all professional athletes have that job.

The latest mock from the Athletic:

James Hagens​

Commentary
If Hagens gets here, I think the Flyers like him and would consider taking him. Same goes for Desnoyers, whose well-rounded game and smarts could really support and complement Matvei Michkov. But Desnoyers isn't going to be there. If Hagens isn't, I think they lean Martin over Jake O'Brien here in terms of the other centers (though they did take O'Brien to dinner in Buffalo). The pull of a center, and a player like Martin, is real in this range.

Flyers Trade Rumors: 3 Rangers Trade Targets That Make Sense for Philadelphia

This is not said about these two NHL teams all that often, but the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers would be perfect trade partners if the latest Rangers trade rumors are true.

sports.yahoo.com

I would make this trade as Cullye is a big bruising forward that can score.

This is the most ridiculous post you have ever put up. Please see if you can have Retro delete it.

How so? You're saying the coach, who is the ultimate leader of the team, provides the system and style of play the team will use and has the power to bench those not conforming, is NEVER responsible for the team losing. How can that level of leadership not be held accountable for results, but the guy with 0 actual power and just some fancy stitching on his shirt is responsible for how the rest of the players play?

Cmon this is ridiculous now. Players play and decide outcomes on the ice 100% of the time. Done with this nonsense.

Philadelphia Flyers Should Avoid This Potential Ducks Trade Target

The <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/philadelphia-flyers">Philadelphia Flyers</a> are still well positioned to execute a blockbuster trade for a top center this summer, but one popular potential trade target on the Anaheim Ducks isn't worth all the hype.

Jake O'Brien possesses the skills that the Flyers need

Jake O'Brien is not regarded as the top center in this draft, but he has some of the skills that would be an asset to the Flyers.

Flyers mock draft 2.0: Could James Hagens be the game-breaker the Flyers have long coveted?

While Hagens would check the center box at No. 6, the Flyers could add some size and grit with their other two first-round picks.

Sure. And G and Coots did everything they could to drag the carcasses passed off as teammates to success and still got the blame for failures because they aren’t good enough leaders. By you in particular. That is what is nonsense.

Will Flyers grab prospect with ‘really, really unique' combination at No. 6?

Brady Martin is a center you want on your team. Will the Flyers want him at No. 6 in the 2025 NHL draft?

Trade Rumors: Flyers Make Sense for a Stars Forward

On top of taking Trouba's full hit a few months ago. Anaheim single-handedly bailing them out of cap hell. And they have Gauthier.

Ducks might need to be your #1 most hated team soon.

Edit: Shit, they have Vatrano and Strome from the Rangers too.

Marchment is turning 30 in one week. That's a hard pass.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, I agree on passing on Marchment. Don't need to bring older players.

 

[Maverick426h]

Yea, I agree on passing on Marchment. Don't need to bring older players.

He's probably a great fit for us, but that's only if we're competing right now (and we aren't). That and he's on an expiring contract next season. So yeah, we could maybe get him cheap and enjoy him for a season, but then what!? We're not in prime position to rent a guy for a season or sign a 31 year old to an extension either. It would be a bit of a weird move for us unless we flip him at the deadline. Even then, he's probably taking ice time from one of our youngsters for most of next season.

For what it's worth, the dude didn't have a very flattering playoff run (statistically) either. 1 goal and -5 in 18 games played. I'd say the Stars needed more out of guys like him to have a real shot at winning the Cup.

The Ducks are suddenly kind of old now in spots. Kreider, Killorn and Gudas are all 34+. Vatrano, Strome, Trouba and Gibson are all 31. The rest of the roster is young. Idk wtf they are trying to do...Lol
