Danny Briere indicated that they had some opportunities to jump back into the first round, but anticipates that the Flyers will use their second round picks, especially picks 36 & 40.

The Flyers take center Jack Nesbitt. 6’4 pivot from Windsor (OHL).

Flyers are acquiring the 12th pick from the Penguins, sending both of their remaining first rounders (22 & 31) cross-state.

#Flyers get a true big skilled winger in Porter Martone, who compares his game to Corey Perry & Matthew Tkachuk. “Both high hockey IQ players and gives their team a chance to win every night.” Now we’ll see if they address the center position with their next pick, whether at 22 or maybe sooner?

Following the Noah Dobson to MTL trade, Isles now have picks 16 & 17 in addition to the 1st overall. And all I can think about is: if the Flyers select James Hagens at 6 if the Isles are counting on him dropping to 7, the old Patrick Division rivalry will get bumped up on the Scoville meter. 🌶️

Thoughts for tonight if #Flyers keep all 3 first round picks: 👉High probability for at least one center, likely at pick 6. 👉There’s a good chance for 2 C’s to improve the depth. 👉I don’t think they’ll go C for all 3 picks. 👉A sizable RD, bigger winger, or a G at 22/31.

When you possess the sixth pick in the draft: I don’t get particularly excited who interviewed with the Flyers or who they brought in person. I expect they did their due diligence because there’s any # of options that might fall their way. Congrats, they did their homework!

By itself? No. I think Buffalo is fielding plenty of calls for a player like Byram, so they’ll need more.

Certainly not a terrible scenario to have. I think if Martone is available, they should select him & then try to grab a center with the second first round pick, whether at pick 22 or in a trade up.

I think a James Hagens vs Caleb Desnoyers decision is a highly unlikely scenario for the #Flyers at pick 6. But if it happens, I think Desnoyers would be their choice. And uh, I expect there to be some unhappy people in my mentions if so, even if Desnoyers is a justifiable pick.

That’s if the Flyers were ready to go with an extension. Also keep in mind the Sabres shipping him West. An East team likely has a higher trade cost.

Before any trades change the order…

The Buffalo Sabres sending JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth for Ryan Kesselring & Josh Doan, per Elliotte Friedman. 😬 Been a week for teams practically stealing young top six forward talent for relatively little cost.

This is my one and only Mock Draft for Center Ice Philly. Agree, Disagree, the answer’s the same: Maybe you’re right…we’ll all find out on Friday night 😉! ✍️ centericephilly.wordpress.com/2025/06/25/a...

Even though I made a prediction that if James Hagens, Anton Frondell, & Caleb Desnoyers are off the board, that I think Martin would be the Flyers pick…it isn’t because I agree with the reasoning teams might use to convince themselves.

Honest question: I don’t normally do mock drafts, but could make an exception with this year’s crop having such variance. Would you guys be interested in that? #NHLDraft

Acquiring Trevor Zegras took time & patience for #Flyers GM Danny Briere, and there’s a risk/reward factor to consider, but if the former Duck Calder candidate can find his previous form, he’s a potential major upgrade. My latest for Center Ice Philly: centericephilly.wordpress.com/2025/06/24/p...

The new guy fits in already. #LetsGoFlyers

To all the new followers, thanks for hopping on!

#Flyers officially release their pre-season schedule. 9/21 at NYI 9/23 at MTL 9/25 at WSH 9/27 vs. BOS 9/29 at BOS 10/2 vs. NYI 10/4 vs. NJD

Official: The Flyers are acquiring forward Trevor Zegras from the Anaheim Ducks for center Ryan Poehling, the 45th overall pick this year and a 2026 4th round pick. That leaves the Flyers with six picks in the first two rounds of the draft: 6, 22, 31, 36, 40, & 48.

I’ll be hiking around Mt. Rainier today, with likely no cell signal. On June 23rd. If you’re looking for a Flyers trade, I’m doing my part.

Draft Prediction time*: if James Hagens, Anton Frondell, & Caleb Desnoyers are off the board for the Flyers when they pick at #6: I think their selection will be Brady Martin. *If they trade back & Martin is still there, they take him.

Some news regarding the Phantoms' coaching search: Sounds like John Snowden is the frontrunner, according to a league source. The 42-year-old just wrapped up his second season as an assistant with the Phantoms, after spending two seasons as an assistant with AHL Toronto.

The Flyers announce they’ve added Todd Reirden & Dylan Crawford as assistant coaches for Rick Tocchet’s staff Considering Reirden’s coaching experience & playing career, I’d expect he’s their hire for defense/penalty kill. #Flyers
