ParticipantDisagree. You have a 2nd pair and 2 bottom pairs. Easily in the bottom 10 in the league. Time will teel what they have in JD. Going to be interesting to see what they do with him in terms of re-signing him. His play one will hope will dictate what they do.
They have nothing on the horizon to get even remotely excited about. Nothing.
The Flyers are still a cut well below the Top D groupings in the league which, not surprisingly, are the defenses for the top teams in the league. You’re overestimating the rest. Flyers were 8th in the league in fewest shots allowed last year. It’s a curious stat considering their overall record, but . . . there’s something there. Of course they could just forfeit all the games this season and try again next year.

They were the #1 shot blocking team in the league while simultaneously being one of the worst puck possession teams in the league. In short, they sucked at hockey but were very good at getting hit with pucks. Torts hockey folks!

I’m not sure where you are going with this? You talked about the Flyers stats last year so i talked about the coach last year.
But i can talk more Torts if you would like.

Sullivan on Torts : I want you to reveal yourself to the players and the other coaches. I want you to show the John Tortorella that I know, that my wife knows, that my kids know, that your kids know, that you don’t show the world very often.
Of course after that Torts went on to abuse York, refuse to talk to the captain of his team, quit on his team and generally be a pain in the ass for everyone. I guess he didn’t bloom.
DB’s best bud folks! Really makes you wonder about his decision making.

This also just in: 19 guys with the team this year played for the Flyers last year.
He’s a complicated man but no one understands him like his woman. John Shaft? No, John Tortorella. Nice to see Sullivan coaching Torts up. Again, he’s gone and the Rags will finish worse than the Flyers this year.

Why do you think the Flyers are a better team than the Rangers?

After Shesterkin, who is absolutely better than either Flyer goalie, Fox and Gavrikov on D and Penarin, they have nothing. Literally nothing. They can’t draft. It’s killing them.

Seeing a lot of the pundits have a three-way battle between the Flyers, Penguins, and Rangers as to who finished at the bottom of the Metro.

Don’t count out the Islanders. The only locks to finish ahead of the Flyers in the Metro I see are WSH, CAR and NJ. The Negadelphians I see here are really overestimating the majority of the league.

remove the flyers top 4 players ( MM, Tk, Sanheim, ?). what do they have?
October 8, 2025 at 2:34 pm #40365FlyerFrank
Participantremove the flyers top 4 players ( MM, Tk, Sanheim, ?). what do they have?
Young players with upside and not overpaid, sagging vets like Zibanejad, Miller and Trocheck.

flyers are the gold standard.

ParticipantThey have so many wingers in the organization, I could see Briere trying to trade a winger for a Dman. It will have to be a Zegras type trade, which the Flyers will hope to win. Byram in that regard makes sense. Rumor has been Briere with interest in Brandt Clarke. I am very concerned about the Oliver Bonk injury. Just two more weeks before he is ready to go, well have not heard that one before.

ParticipantRasmus Andersson, right handed D, pretty good, fits under the cap, end of season UFA. Might be available sooner. We will see. It’s a very safe bet, after the big Frost trade last year, Briere has at least checked in on him.
