    Dave Hakstol impressed by Nolan Patrick, affirms his chance to make Flyers

    Brayden Schenn ‘shocked' by trade, leaving Flyers with ‘mixed emotions'

    Not a rebuild: Flyers getting younger but how much of an impact will young players have?

    CHICAGO – Perhaps the Flyers‘ most perplexing takeaway from this weekend’s NHL draft is what’s going to happen to this roster next fall on the wing. To that end, who exactly is going to make up for the 25 goals Brayden Schenn delivered last season? Think 29-year-old Jori Lehtera is capable of that? The Finnish swing forward has never scored…

    Cayden Primeau ecstatic to join Canadiens' goaltending fraternity

    CHICAGO – Keith Primeau was hoping the Flyers didn’t pick his son in this NHL draft. “The Flyers have drafted a number of goaltenders the last couple years,” Primeau said. Which is why general manager Ron Hextall did him an unknown favor by sending his final pick – No. 199 in the seventh round – to Montreal on Saturday afternoon. Hextall didn’t...

    Ron Hextall doesn't make move for veteran goalie; Steve Mason ‘still in the mix'

    CHICAGO — While the Flyers picked up a young first-round centerman in Nolan Patrick — who many feel will be in their lineup this season — at this weekend’s NHL draft, they returned home with one major dilemma unresolved. They still don’t have a veteran goalie to pair with Michal Neuvirth next season. The draft is usually a pretty good place to piece together a...

    Flyers move up to draft Isaac Ratcliffe, who is ‘going to be a force in the future'

    CHICAGO — Isaac Ratcliffe was the biggest player in this year’s NHL draft at 6-foot-6, though a little light at 200 pounds for that frame. He plays like Wayne Simmonds at the net with a physical edge and he’s a left winger, too. How badly did the Flyers want him? So much so, they moved their second-round pick (44) along with...
