Danny Briere
We are back with a new YWT Podcast episode. After a brief hiatus, we return to break down everything that happened in the Flyers offseason.
The Flyers and Travis Konecny have a contract extension completed. Konecny signed an eight-year deal with a $8.75 million AAV that will start in the 2025-26 season.
Travis Konecny’s extension provided a firm definition of the Flyers rebuild timeline. They don’t see this taking many more years. That makes the degree of difficulty for a successful rebuild even harder for Danny Briere and company.
Matvei Michkov was introduced to Philadelphia on Wednesday with much fanfare. The 19-year-old showed appreciation for the excitement and warm welcome, while putting focus on his eventually goals with the Flyers.
Matvei Michkov officially landed in the United States on Tuesday. His tangible arrival brings a feeling of new hope to the Flyers new era.
After making a couple of in-house deals and officially signing their top prospect, Danny Briere again preached patience as the Flyers continue the rebuilding process.
The Flyers brought back defenseman Erik Johnson on a one-year deal and signed a two-year extension with forward Garnet Hathaway on Day 1 of free agency.
Matvei Michkov is officially a Flyer, signing a three-year, entry-level deal on Monday, one week after being released from his KHL contract.
Free agency opens around the NHL on July 1, but don’t expect the Flyers to be big players. GM Danny Briere has already stated it should be a quiet day for the Orange and Black.
A draft weekend with no trade activity on the current roster and selections rooted more in upside felt underwhelming from the Flyers. It’s all part of the plan, as the importance of the 2025 offseason only became greater.
