What trades do you think danny should explore.

I am very very high on tk and Floridas 1st+ for the 2nd or 3rd overall and taking demidov. I see demidov dropping like michkov did .

Would be crazy having michkov and demidov on the same line. Maybe bring in a Russian center 🤔 Then take the 12th and hope ignla drops

2nd round snag another goalie

We're in the slow part of the offseason right now where all there is to do is watch other teams play playoff hockey and wait, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening. Reports out of Russia this week have started speculation that Michkov may end up leaving his KHL deal early, and could have him arriving in NA as early as next season. Would he crazy to see him in the orange and black next year.

What's everyone's favorite Mexican food?

My wife tried to order a flyers sippy cup from target for our 1 year old. This is what came instead 😑.

In addition, which UFA would help the PP the most?

I have opened 300 UD series 2 and this is the only Flyer card I have pulled.

So it’s a shot in the dark and I’m really just looking for opinions. A Family Friend of mine is a custom home builder and is currently under contract building a house on the Jersey shore for Brady Tkachuk. Now I know that doesn’t mean anything for now, but I do find it interesting that a guy based in Calgary is building in the vicinity of two metro teams. He also is playing alongside Giroux so could that be a possibility that he has his eyes on leaving Ottawa for someone in the metro? I think he would be a great asset to pick up if the contract and money made sense. Thoughts?

Not really a surprise. Tocchet was always gona win it anyway

I've been back and forth about what I want the Flyers to do with him. On one hand, he's probably my favorite player on the roster, great player, all star, etc.

On the other hand, he's probably just entering a 4-ish year window of his prime and is due for a massive raise. His trade value will never be higher.

EDIT: What do you think he could fetch in a trade this summer or pre-draft and what do you think his next contract looks like?

My heart says sign him, but my gut says he doesn't fit the timeline and his next contract will hurt when the Flyers are really looking to be contenders.

Flyers need to back up the brinks truck.

And do we wanna do that? Obviously Toronto needs to mix things up. It gets rid of one of their core players and brings in a new one with a lot more grit. The right side for the Flyers would be Marner Michkov and Brink. This would essentially put the cost of Marner as roughly 2 firsts and maybe a 3rd (assuming Konency would get us a 1st and 3rd if traded for picks). I'm up in the air with the idea as Marner has notably been quiet in the playoffs and the cost is pretty high. He would likely want 11-12m too whereas maybe Konency gets 9-10.

Reports earlier this season were talking about the system/style of play the Flyers had and how Michkov would fit into it. Transition hockey, odd-man rushes, heavy shot blocking in our zone leading to going the other way. When it wasn't working, the thing we lacked was the scoring touch, the finish (most of the time). And by the end of the season it was very obvious how exhausted they were from how much of this and how often they had to accomplish this in order to generate offense when you lack that reliable finish. TK was great at it but if he could shoulder that in every game of an 82+ game season he'd have a hundred goals.

Now put Michkov and more of our prospects in there, and we still have TK, Tippett, Foerster, etc. and it's not like free agents don't exist in the years beyond next, on top of them

It's way too goddamn easy to be deflated from the way this season ended, so keep it in mind - the last 10-20 games of the season were an exhausted team lacking scoring talent, before that, just go back and watch the turnover- and transition-driven style they were playing and catch yourself every time you say/think "Damnit, if only we had the finish." If they finish on more of those and get the powerplay going, it's less exhausting, it's more exciting, and it means good things

It's only a matter of time

That's all. I just want to hockey again.

After yesterday's excitement with the news of this interview, I woke up today and wanted to re-read the interview to see if there was anything to reconsider.

After re-reading it, I am even more confident than I was yesterday that this is leading towards Michkov coming to NA. Hopefully I don't jinx it.

• Why would Medvedev even give an interview suggesting any of this unless it was leaning towards Michkov leaving?
• Medvedev says that are going to talk about the options with Michkov. Do we really think Michkov's preference is anything other than playing in the NHL ASAP, with more talent, with better minutes, making more money?
• "Maybe a change of environment will make it easier to adapt" just sounds like Medvedev coming up with an excuse for the inevitable.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of SKA Alexander Medvedev, in an interview with Match TV, did not rule out the possibility that forward Matvey Michkov would go to the NHL club Philadelphia this summer.

Michkov was selected by the Flyers in the first round, 7th overall, in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.

— Matvey Michkov has a two-year contract with SKA. But he really wants to go to Philadelphia. Will the club release him from St. Petersburg?

— I think it’s better to leave like Ovechkin or Panarin. When you have already established yourself in Russia, and you are not going to North America to travel between the NHL and AHL. We must not forget that Matvey experienced a terrible tragedy, losing his father, who was also a mentor for him, being by his side all the time. It’s hard to play psychologically, be it Sochi or Moscow, where everything reminds you of this loss. Maybe a change of environment will make it easier to adapt.

— Change to St. Petersburg or Philadelphia? Avangard released Ivan Miroshnichenko in the same situation.

— Unlike the situation with Ivan Fedotov, we are in contact with Philadelphia. The Flyers management does not even hide their desire for Matvey to come to them and try his hand at the NHL. But if you go earlier, then you need to have a clause in the contract that if Philadelphia is tempted to send him to the AHL, he will have the right to return. But it’s too early to talk about this, because legally Michkov is under a contract with SKA. And Philadelphia sent us their assurances that they would not commit any violations of contractual rights.

— Nikolai Kovalenko has such a clause that he can return to the KHL by the end of December if he is not given a chance in Colorado.

— This is a fairly common move, and there is nothing terrible about it. But still, for a mask wearer to go to the NHL... You can try, of course. But how many cases were there when the guy didn’t play! There are more than a dozen such names. They left early and were unable to open up. And when we returned to Russia, we didn’t even play at home.

We understand that Matvey is a great talent. This is not even worth discussing. I think we will talk about all the options, first of all, with him. And we will also talk with the leaders of Philadelphia, with whom we have very good relations. There is understanding, and you will be patient. I think that the decision on Michkov will be no later than the end of June,” Medvedev told Match TV.

Last season, 19-year-old Michkov scored 41 (19+22) points in 47 matches for Sochi.

Not to beat a dead horse, but dang it's great to hear JJ call other games. As much I wish he was calling for The Flyers right now, it's great to hear him doing this for other teams. Call me bias, but he has to be the best commentator I've heard for the playoffs so far.

The Flyers will get one of the following seven picks depending on how the Panthers and possibly Stars and Rangers finish in the playoffs.

Pick 26: Panthers lose in Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. Stars and Rangers don't advance to Conference Finals.

Pick 27: Panthers lose in Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. One of Stars or Rangers don't advance to Conference Finals.

Pick 28: Panthers lose in Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. Stars and Rangers both advance to Conference Finals.

Pick 29: Panthers lose in Eastern Conference Finals. Stars lose in Western Conference Finals.

Pick 30: Panthers lose in Eastern Conference Finals. Any other remaining team but Stars lose in Western Conference Finals.

Pick 31: Panthers lose in the Stanley Cup Final.

Pick 32: Panthers win the Stanley Cup.

T's on television even but now

I love seeing him on the national stage! I hope he keeps getting deeper into the playoffs.
