While a surprise trade or other exciting move like an offer sheet could potentially still be on the table, it feels like Danny Briere’s heavy lifting is done for Summer 2025, having secured center depth in both free agency and the draft, upgraded the goaltending position, and taking a swing on a potential star in the Trevor Zegras trade.
So with the offseason moves probably wrapped up, Charlie & Bill are debating their grades for Ph...

Flyers Head Coach Rick Tocchet joined the PHLY Flyers Podcast live from the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City to discuss the NHL Draft, relationship with GM Danny Briere, roles for his coaching staff, the Flyers roster, and more.
In the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft, Danny Briere selected Porter Martone 6th overall, and traded picks 22 & 31 to move up to 12 for Jack Nesbitt. With picks 36, 40 & 48 to kickoff the second round, and 4 picks after that, questions abound about the Flyers’ direction.
