The Philadelphia Flyers just recorded their second win in November for the 2026-27 National Hockey League (NHL) season. Unfortunately for their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, this is one more win than the Phantoms have recorded.
The Philadelphia Flyers enter the stretch of November still searching for traction. Sitting at 5-10-6 through 21 games with only 16 points, the club ranks near the bottom of the Eastern Conference and remains well outside the wild-card picture.
TSN: Philadelphia Flyers GM Daniel Briere said that Matvei Michkov didn’t make a trade request, and Pierre LeBrun adds, that he doesn’t think there is any immediate plan for the Flyers, but where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
We all love the nostalgia of sports, fondly remembering players and teams from when we were younger. It’s what makes sports fun and cross-generational, something we can pass down.
People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.
It’s why the Philadelphia Flyers didn’t choose a tear-it-all-down rebuild in 2023. It’s why they held on to Scott Laughton at the 2024 Trade Deadline. And why they added in the 2025 offseason, months after finishing last in the Eastern Conference.
The Philadelphia Flyers and Matvei Michkov have been the focus of trade rumors over the past few days, with a report coming out recently that Michkov would be open to a fresh start and could become a prime trade candidate moving forward.
Philadelphia Flyers star Matvei Michkov has spent the week at the center of trade speculation. However, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman believes Flyers general manager Danny Briere will take the exact opposite approach.
If you were a hockey fan from the mid-1990s to about 2010, two of the most consistently dominant teams in the NHL were the Detroit Red Wings and the Philadelphia Flyers.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
The "Michkov Controversy" is pretty much consuming every Flyers fan's mind right now. And here's the thing: is there a controversy? Daniel Briere has said there has been nothing said to him or the rest of the Flyers Administration.
The Philadelphia Flyers took Cutter Gauthier with the fifth-overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. It’s one of the few absolute slam-dunk picks by the Flyers organization in the 21st century.
With the speculation surrounding the Philadelphia Flyers, there will be plenty of trade chatter and scenarios tossed around. The Flyers are struggling.
It was recently reported by Kevin Weekes that Philadelphia Flyers’ young star Matvei Michkov has requested a trade out of Philadelphia. While the reporting has been disputed by others like ESPN’s Emily Kaplan, I still believe that where there’s smoke there’s fire, and the Chicago Blackhawks need to be in on this opportunity.
The Philadelphia Flyers are off to a rough start in the 2026-27 campaign. Philadelphia has sunk to a 5-10-5 record in the early going. Though they are coming off a win, there seems to be a lack of positivity in the City of Brotherly Love.
Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere denied a report about forward Matvei Michkov’s alleged desire to leave the city of brotherly love during a news conference Wednesday.
The purported Matvei Michkov trade request chatter has quickly grown into a monster no one could have really fathomed. But then Kevin Weekes dropped his bombshell report about Michkov requesting a trade, and the entire NHL stopped spinning for a second.
Heading into the 2026-27 season, there was a sense of optimism surrounding the Philadelphia Flyers. The team just made the Stanley Cup Playoffs, making it as far as the second round.
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen will take a second pass at putting a nagging hand injury behind him. The injury, sustained on October 3rd, originally held Ristolainen out of nine games.
The Philadelphia Flyers made the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season. Philadelphia even won a playoff series. It was a remarkable campaign for a franchise that had suffered some brutal outcomes in the last few years.
