The Ducks matched the Leo Carlsson offer sheet. So he stays in Anaheim.
No Leo. No panic.
Here's the most realistic Flyers look right now, and why this young core is the whole plan either way. #IgniteTheOrange#LetsGoFlyers
Aaron got me thinking about this today. If Anaheim matches on Leo, the Flyers don't just walk away. Two other 21 year old RFA centers are sitting right there. So let's actually run it. Carlsson vs Fantilli vs Bedard, by the numbers 🧵
Bill breaks this down so cleanly. It was never about whether Samueli can afford it.
Updated my piece today because of this: a ~$26M business writing ~$38M in bonuses in 12 months. $19.95M now, $18.1M next July. On one player.

Two days ago I’d have put the Flyers’ odds of actually landing Leo at maybe 10%. Everyone assumed Verbeek matches and moves on.
I’m bumping that up. Here’s why the math — and the timeline — just shifted in Philly’s favor.
The Flyers signed Leo Carlsson to a 5-year, $90M offer sheet. $18M a year — the highest-paid player in the NHL, tendered by Philadelphia.
I was born in '94. I've waited my entire adult life for the Flyers to move like this again.
Why this wins whether or not Anaheim matches 🧵
I'm back. It's been a while.
New job, coaching took over my life, and I watched this fanbase lose its mind about Matvei Michkov from the sidelines all season.
The Zoom Out Series starts now.
Part 1: The Michkov Panic Was Wrong. Here's The Proof. https://t.co/wq0JtEGXgN
🧵👇
Was so high on Jiricek his draft year but Columbus rushed his development so much that I’m not sure what we’re getting here. I do love the move though as 1-2 wingers had to be moved and Brink may never be higher than a 2nd line winger
Porter Martone: 7 games, 11 points at Michigan State.
Before the draft, I tracked where he scored in the OHL. 31 of 45 goals came from the slot.
At Michigan State? Hitting the net on 63.6% of his slot shots (7/11).
The net-front game is translating beautifully. 🧵
How nice is it after two decades of being horrendous in the shootouts to have a guy like this and Michkov who make it look so effortless ??? BIG WIN LETS GO FLYERS !!
Owen Tippett is flying. 5 goals in 6 games. 24.21 MPH—the FASTEST player in the NHL. Locked in at $6.2M AAV through 2032.
@SuitableAlias thinks we should trade him. @JimIkeHW says 40-goal season incoming. @BroadStHockey is tracking the rumors.
Let me break down both sides 🧵
Through 3 games of the Tocchet era, the Flyers’ defense is playing a completely different game. More aggressive. More activating in the O-zone. More risks.
Let’s break down what’s working—and what’s not—with some film. 🧵
🧵 Yesterday I teased the individual player cards. Now here's the full breakdown - a ranking system for every Flyers player vs their NHL peers. As a coach, analytics are just another tool, but most don't understand it. This thread aims to help.
🧵 The Flyers just signed Cam York to 5 years at $5.15M per season, and honestly, I think this could end up being one of Danny Briere's best moves.
Let me walk you through why this deal makes so much sense for both sides.

🧵 THREAD: The Flyers' goalie market strategy this summer
Everyone's focused on the terrible UFA market (Jake Allen as the "best" option tells you everything), but here's what they're missing about Philadelphia's actual path forward...
🧵HOLY SHIT. The Flyers just traded for Trevor Zegras.
Gave up Poehling, the 45th pick, and a 4th rounder for a 24-year-old center who had back-to-back 60+ point seasons.
There's a reason he was available. But there's also a reason this could be brilliant for both sides.
After trading for Zegras, the Flyers have shown they're serious about accelerating this rebuild. But here's the next big question: Should they target Bowen Byram or Noah Dobson?
Both are RFA defensemen, both are available, but the paths to get them are completely different 🧵
