The Good: .65 ppg, not bad considering his avg ice time of only 15:56 pg with a high of 21:54 and a low of 8:30, not counting 2 healthy scratches (which I still don’t understand??) Most goals in a game: 2 (twice) Most assists: 3 Most pts: 3 Multiple pt games: 10 Most shots: 8 Avg Shots pg: 2.00 PPG: 6 Good on face-offs: 10x 100% in a game, only 1 game under 50%

The Bad: Avgs more hits than blocks pg: .365 vs .269 (neither of these are great) +/-: -14 (high: +4, low: -4) Highest PIM: 14, shows fight though!

The ugly: Averages just under 1 giveaway per game (.96)

his giveaways are his biggest problem that I can see but he is so young and learning, hopefully these go down and his takeaways go up!

Regarding the HSs: the game prior “Mike” had 1 pt., 1 shot, 1 Blk, 1 Takeaway with no hits or giveaways (rare for him) and 100% face-off. Game-wise it doesn’t make a lot of sense…maybe it was just the first away game in a bit so Torts bided his time…

Hopefully his ice time will increase, if they want to score, as his highest ice time games coincided with ones in which he scored points.

His end of season numbers are taking a hit as all Flyers players are during this scoring drought.

Hey all, I will be going to my first game on Thursday and would like to receive a warmup puck. I contacted meigray and they said they do not have a pick program with the flyers. Is there anything I can do? thanks!

Thought this was interesting!

Starts at 34:00 on today's podcast

"Danny Briere was on the Philly broadcast and he basically confirmed with everybody it's said that they're clearing cap room and they're going big game hunting. Like, they're really going to try something either this - you know, it's interesting, I had a couple of guys tell me that the new cap numbers, there's going to be offer sheets this summer. It worked for the Blues. You know, they may not make the playoffs this year but the Blues got two players who are really going to help them for a long time and they think more teams are going to do this and the Flyers have a lot of room. Now everybody has a bit more cap room, so I'm not sure if teams are going to be in a better chance to protect themselves against them, but I think - Briere basically came out and said the Flyers are going to be a team to watch."

Who is playing their best hockey, or living up to their potential?

Or maybe take someone like Porter Martone or Michael Misa.

While I thought when the season started Philly could be a playoff team I think the way this is trending is best for the organization longterm.

They are the 2nd worst team in the east. Might be the worst with buffalo looking better lately & our recent trade + pending Risto and maybe Laughton deals (assuming they do those)

Tippett is out. Frost/Farabee gone. Michkov looks toast physically. Has no juice/gas in the tank. TK is the only guy who can create consistently on the team right now. We have legitimately the worst C group I've ever seen.

When they deal risto it'll be a massive blow to the Dcore. A bigger one than most expect IMO.

The 2nd half should be focused on bringing up guys like Andrae, Grans, Ginning, MacDonald, Tuomaala, Wisdom etc. See who's worth keeping moving forward.

They currently have the 9th pick. only 2 points out of having the 6th pick & only 5 ahead of Buffalo who's picking 4th

Picking top 5 + having two other 1sts & four 2nds is unbelievable ammo to do whatever they want. Trade/trade up (from the 20s) or simply stack the system.

With my powers of deduction i believe the only way to get the goals flowing is to reduce prices beyond what they were before the change.

Risto not on bench. Has he been traded.

I believe the trade was a win win. The Flames got 2 guys who may pan out (probably not though) and the Flyers got exactly what they wanted. Cap room, and a defined top 6 group of wingers. If we're being honest, Farabee didn't fit into that group. The 2 top LWs will be Tippett and Foerster and the top 2 RWs will be Konency and Michkov. Frost was not a good player and a middle 6 center isn't so hard to acquire.

As for the return, it could solidify the 3rd line wingers with Brink and Pelletier. Kuzmenko is really a non issue with this trade since he'll be off the books next year anyway. And the 2nd is a nice throw in.

Could they have gotten more? Maybe. But I don't think so. Briere tried with Farabee and every team wanted retention. Getting out from under that contract of a 3rd line winger is a win in its own right. Frost might have had a bit more value, but a 2nd seems fine for him. If Pelletier works out, this could be a great return for them.

Obviously there is the center issue, but it didn't necessarily have to be addressed with this trade. Realistically they have 3 3rd line centers and no 1st or 2nd. (Maybe you could argue Cates is playing his way into a 2nd line center role). With a defined set of wingers, Brieres focus could now truly be only on centers while maybe keeping on eye on some top end D.

Keep every single pick unless they help you get a center. Potentially use some to trade up to get a center you like in the draft.

“One thing we’re seeing is for rentals it’s a 1st rounder. Draft guys aren’t crazy about this draft so that’s why teams are willing to do it.”

The Flyers have been hyping up 2025 for the past year or two. Now months before the draft, the league is signaling that the depth of quality prospects might be relatively shallow.

Got this in an email from Comcast Spectacor today. Truly one of THE hats of all time. You can only get it by purchasing a ticket package to the March 6 Jets game.

This hat might be my new white whale of Flyers merchandise.

Well, Briere finally did a thing! Thursday night, the Flyers traded Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jacob Pelletier, a 2025 2nd round pick and a 2028 7th round pick. Although the return is a bit disappointing, there's some past chemistry between Kuzmenko and Michkov to be untapped, and opening up cap space and adding picks allows for more flexibility for moves in the future. It definitely seems like this trade is the start of Briere taking another step in the rebuild.

In other news, JT Miller was traded to the Rangers, Marcus Pettersson was traded to the Canucks, Granlund and Ceci to the Stars.

I don’t see Kuz on the pregame lineup, anyone know why?

Welp. Pulled this off a reliable IG page today.

Have been thinking of grabbing one, kind of hard to find any sites with his jersey on it, any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

What do you think the lines would be once Pelletier and Kuzmenko get here?
