Things are (awfully) going well for Christian Dvorak in Philadelphia. The center has rediscovered the offensive touch he had in junior: D-vo has scored 19 points in 28 games this season… and is on track for a 55-point campaign if he can keep up the pace.
In Week 5 of the Philadelphia Flyers‘ 2025–26 season, they moved to an 8–5–2 record, good for a wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference. For this edition of Flyers News & Rumors, we’ll look at Christian Dvorak‘s trade value, Owen Tippett‘s slump, and check in on some Lehigh Valley Phantoms prospects.
Last year, the Canadiens were a tight-knit group. Christian Dvorak may have left for Philadelphia, but the guys in the dressing room haven’t forgotten who he was and what he brought to the club on the ice, as demonstrated yesterday when he wasn’t replaced in the Power of Friendship celebration.
Christian Dvorak has never been a bad hockey player, but in Montreal… he’s been known as a guy who wasn’t blessed with huge offensive potential. The center has been able to produce a little (around 30 points per season) and has shown flashes here and there.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
Since the end of last season, we’ve seen a few Canadiens players come to town, but two players from the 2024-25 roster changed addresses when the free agent market opened.
The Canadiens have acquired the services of Joe Veleno. He will earn $900,000 over one year on a one-tier contract. This means the club has added depth at center.
The Philadelphia Flyers, who have not been to the Stanley Cup Playoffs since 2020, are banking on the latest moves from general manager Daniel Briere that their drought could soon come to an end.
The Vancouver Canucks had a huge need at centre coming into free agency, and now we know how close they were to landing a big veteran name with Christian Dvorak ultimately shunning them to sign with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Christian Dvorak has signed a big contract with the Flyers. In fact… The former Habs player signed a contract that will pay him a lot of money next season.
One of the hottest commodities on the free agent market on July 1 this year was a top-six centre, with several teams on the hunt to bolster their offence this summer.
The Canadiens lost the services of Christian Dvorak today. Daniel Brière and the Flyers signed him for one season at $5.4 million. The Habs wouldn’t have given him that kind of money.
Today, the Canadiens lost two important players. And here, you’ll understand that I’m talking about Christian Dvorak and Joel Armia. Both veterans played on the Habs’ bottom-6… and ultimately, their respective departures mean that there will be changes in Martin St-Louis’ line-up next season.
The Philadelphia Flyers have made a flurry of additions in NHL Free Agency, the most notable including the signings of center Christian Dvorak and goaltender Dan Vladar, general manager Danny Briere announced.
The Philadelphia Flyers have signed two-way forward Christian Dvorak to a one-year deal worth $5.4 million. The 29-year-old left-handed centre spent the past four seasons with the Montreal Canadiens and had 12 goals and 21 assists for 33 points last season.
The Philadelphia Flyers are one of the first teams to strike first in free agency. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Philadelphia Flyers have signed forward Christian Dvorak to a one-year contract.
Christian Dvorak has no contract for next season. We don’t necessarily expect him to be back in Montreal either. The center is likely to test the free agent market, and the chances of him leaving are there.
While there’s a lot of talk about the players the Habs might target on July 1, we shouldn’t forget that the club also has free agents in the making on its roster.
The Montreal Canadiens made the playoffs for the first time since losing in the 2021 Stanley Cup Finals. Still, the Canadiens were eliminated in five games by the Washington Capitals.
In a few short games, Montreal Canadiens forward Christian Dvorak has gone from an arguable Professional Tryout (PTO) signee for some team short on veterans next fall to potentially having earned a multi-year deal once he becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1… maybe even with the Habs.
Even though the Canadiens are in the midst of a playoff race, Christian Dvorak's situation is sparking discussion. Many are wondering if he'll finish the season in Montreal or if Kent Hughes will trade him before the trade deadline.
Well-known insiders Frank Seravalli and Pierre LeBrun have recently revealed that Kent Hughes is currently active on the market. A top-4 defenseman is indeed in his sights.
The Montreal Canadiens announced forward Christian Dvorak’s season is over. The 27-year-old tore his pectoral muscle and will undergo surgery on Friday, ruling him out for the remainder of the schedule.
