PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

While the Flyers had a relatively quiet summer in terms of acquisitions they actually completed, it appears the co-inhabitants of the Xfinity Mobile Arena have made one of the biggest free agent signing in Philadelphia ever, landing LeBron James. Reacting to this, Bill & Charlie discuss the biggest, most exciting (and most disappointing) Flyers moves they can remember and ask if Briere should feel pressure to compete with the 76ers for the city’s attention.

Plus a little on Philly’s interest in Arber Xhekaj, and more!

Are the Philadelphia Flyers the least improved team in the Metropolitan Division heading into the new NHL season? The Athletic's Dom Luszczyszyn released his annual list of which NHL teams improved the most this summer, and Charlie O'Connor and Bill Matz of the PHLY Flyers Podcast break down Danny Briere's offseason and analyze whether the Flyers have done enough to keep pace with the rest of the Metro. From free agency and trades to roster depth and prospect development, we discuss the biggest moves—and the moves that never happened. 

Do you think the Flyers had the weakest offseason in the Metropolitan Division, or is the criticism overblown? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

After yesterday’s conversation regarding wingers, we’re taking a look at the the Philadelphia Flyers’ blue line. While it looked for a time Danny Briere would be looking to add a top-4 defenseman this summer, that has not come to fruition, nor has the potential Rasmus Ristolainen trade. So it looks like the Flyguys will be going with the same core group from last year, with the possibility to see David Jiricek and Oliver Bonk contributing, as well.

The Philadelphia Flyers currently have seven wingers with claims to six spots on the top three lines, and double-digit wingers who could potentially crack the opening night lineup. Today, Charlie & Bill discuss the logjam at wing, how they expect it to play out this season, and if Danny Briere could’ve done more to create defined roles for the wingers by trading one or two of them in an attempt to add a top-6 center or top-4 defenseman with the ability to help on the power play.

Plus, the dumbest Flyers losses we can remember, and a look at Trevor Zegras at center, and his comments from yesterday’s press conference regarding his new contract.

The Philadelphia Flyers have taken care of almost all their pertinent business, signing Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale within the last week, avoiding arbitration with both, and now it appears we’re on to the dead part of the offseason. On today’s show, Charlie & Bill evaluate Danny Briere’s offseason, based on the expectations of it going in, and what it ultimately bore- Joseph Woll, a few re-signings, some minor free agent additions, and not much else.

Philly Week continues, with Charlie taking a trip to Sea Isle City, plus a look at Matvei Michkov’s latest workout video and more.
