Micah Parsons watching his old teammates play for the team he really wants to be with

@BeeTEE15 A short guy stole his high school girlfriend and we’ve been taking the brunt of his unresolved feelings for 7 years now. Cole Caufield can’t hurt you! Zeev Buium didn’t do it! Ryan Lin is just a kid!

The team that just won the cup is being aggressive to improve

The Flyers who were just swept by said cup winner are interested in seeing if the guys they already have can take a step before making a move, and overvaluing the players that they do have to trade

Carolina has traded for John Carlson's rights

Humpty Dumpty looking ass

Flyers Assistant General Manager Brent Flahr meets with the media following Day 2 of the 2026 NHL Draft. https://t.co/s1bgrjyEOX

Guess you gotta go get Nikishin now

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Carolina has traded for John Carlson's rights

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

It's a 4th round pick, it doesn't really matter, but why does the #Flyers board never line up with the rest of the league/industry?

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

Board with the #Flyers up here shortly

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

@afern_alex Werenski is a guy you trade Michkov for. Wing is a position of strength for this team. If it takes Michkov you do not blink

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

The organization's paid media has let us know they're being outbid

[Anthony SanFilippo @AntSanPhilly]

Yes, the Flyers are interested in Werenski. So are a dozen other teams. What could the Flyers offer? Hypothetically, let's say Tippett, York and Toronto's 1st rounder in 2027. Does that get it done?
If Dallas, for example, is building an offer around, say, Thomas Harley. The answer is probably no.

The board as day 2 of the #NHLDraft begins

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

Get Carlson done so you can ship Risto out without the bullshit excuse they want to use of they don’t have a way to replace him on the depth chart

[David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod]

As we gear up for Day 2, some talk over Darnell Nurse. Anaheim, which isn’t on his list, is now being considered. Philly remains an option, as well.

Also on D market:
- some clubs talking to Ducks about acquiring John Carlson’s rights
- Isles have had teams ask about Romanov

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

Brent Flahr needs to have something to show to justify him still being here and having so much sway in the room. His debut was passing on Cole Caufield, and it’s 7 years later and he still has license to pass on players to take guys that have/will not become difference makers

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

Thread

The Flyers love drafting young-for-the-draft players and projects with their high value picks (sans 94 and 39) and the problem with that strategy is it takes longer to convey if that strategy works, or see you’re misidentifying players because they take longer to develop

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

Buium, Lin, Novotny, Bleyl, Helenius, Cootes, Eklund, Aitcheson all will be measuring sticks of guys with clear consensus value that the Flyers for whatever reason think they’re smarter than the rest of the league for passing on.

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

York, Michkov, Nesbitt, Murtagh, 2027 PHI 1st,

[Broad Street Hockey @BroadStHockey]

ICYMI, the Flyers were named as one of the teams who are going to try to trade for Zach Werenski👀

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

@dsilver88 I add a 1st in there too. Willingly pay that

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

Starting to think maybe Steve Yzerman is a shit GM?!

[JeffMossDSR @JeffMossDSR]

Yzerman took Cossa over Wallstedt even though Wallstedt was the consensus #1 goalie in that draft.

Then the Wings didn’t like Cossa’a style and totally broke it down and rebuilt it and then they still didn’t like the result.

The guy never started a game in Detroit. Just a total failure by the organization on all levels.

[Jesse James Larch @JesseLarch]

Is Dorofyev good without Eichel/Marner/Stone/Karlsson around him?

[Ryan Mead @OhRyanMead]

Wow this is....really good?

Like amazing fucking work here from Drury.
