Exciting weekend for Philly sports fans: Sixers play the Knicks in the NBA Playoffs, Phillies look to keep winning series, and Eagles prepare for the NFL Draft
The Flyers missed the playoffs for the fourth straight season. They were expected to. What wasn’t expected was a meaningful 82 games and falling short of the postseason because of an eight-game losing streak at the worst possible time. And that is what the entire organization will have to live with this offseason.
As a surprising Flyers season reaches a disappointing ending, there is wonder if the 2023-24 season was a giant waste of time. That's hardly the case, as the fall from a playoff spot may all be part of the process, and shows just how far that process has to go.
For several weeks, Aleksei Kolosov's rumored arrival to North America figured to potentially provide relief for the Flyers goaltending situation. But could another Russian netminder be joining the team soon?
Travis Konecny is at the forefront of the Flyers rebuild. The two-time All-Star could be one of the team's leaders moving forward, or be one of their most valuable assets as the rebuild takes shape.
According to a report from TSN’s Darren Dreger, the Flyers are “taking calls” on Scott Laughton. Dreger also notes the team is not eager to trade Laughton, but that GM Danny Briere is “gauging interest.”
