I went from @ESPNRadio to getting my @X account hacked in about two weeks. It was a good mental vacation.

This is my new account. The people who hacked my other account were nice enough to change the username so I could take mine back.

Jacob Gaucher (25; C/RW) agreed to 1yr/$850k extension with #Flyers. He’s had back-to-back 20+ goal seasons in the #AHL with #LVPhantoms.

I’ve said this to others, but if Dan Vladař needs at least five years on the extension to accept, then the #Flyers might offer something around 5yr/$27.5mil for the starting goaltender.

@B_Sommermann It’s not just hockey. Sports talk radio hardly understands anything.

[Eric Reese @EricReeseFN]

@Jeff_McLane @SWrights975 It totally seemed like Brandon Graham was supposed to be back for damage control for AJ Brown instead of real contribution to a postseason team last year.

Some names to keep an eye on if you’re the #Flyers in the third round of the 2026 #NHL Entry Draft:

• Logan Stuart
• Landon Amrhein
• Lavr Gashilov
• Måns Gudmundsson

It’s just that the national media is a microphone for the online fanbase because it’s more accessible.

Paul Bissonnette made a mint off of #Flyers engagement based on Matvei Michkov. It’s simple.

I sometimes wonder what the online discourse would be if Michkov wasn’t in PHI.

@DanHickling @lifeofphoto @IHCAvtomobilist Måns Gudmundsson
• Färjestad BK U20 (U20 Nationell)
• 6’3” 190lb
• RD

An offensive defenseman who could bottom in the #NHL. Gudmundsson can take power play responsibilities. Just needs to add size and physicality.

@DanHickling @lifeofphoto Lavr Gashilov
• Avto Yekaterinburg (MHL)
• 6’2” 170lb
• C/L

Gashilov is an alternate captain on his #MHL team. There’s a big upside, but all criticism sounds like 2025-2026 Matvei Michkov (skating, defense/checking).

@DanHickling Landon Amrhein
• Calgary Hitmen (WHL)
• 6’4” 192lb
• RW/R

It’s too early to tell what he’ll be based on his first season in the #WHL leading into his immediate draft eligibility. That makes him a logical drop on the board. Must become physical.

Logan Stuart
• Team USNTDP (USHL)
• 5’10” 174lb
• C/L

Stuart can work the OZ transition, the extended goal line next to goaltenders, and makes defensive plays. He can penalty kill. A potential undersized depth center.

The #Patriots had a cupcake schedule last season and I would be surprised if AJ Brown maintains production with Drake Maye.

A first and fifth round pick in return to the #Eagles, who already won a Super Bowl with Brown, is solid.

My contribution to offseason discussions surrounding Sam Ersson.

This was written when the #Flyers were in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, before Aleksei Kolosov signed his extension.

Ilya Pautov agreed to 3yr/$2.95mil ($985k/AAV) entry-level contract with the #Flyers. He was selected in the sixth round in 2024.

20, RW/LW, will likely report to #LVPhantoms.

@Juicetin__ I wasn’t square on what the Flyers were getting in Luchanko versus what was still available on the draft board. Helenius or Buium would’ve been my take.

I hope he can find his trigger on offense instead of playing conservative offense. He’s a good skater and wins face offs.
