No Philadelphia Flyers rookie has ever won the Calder Trophy. It is not that they have not had their share of viable candidates over the years.

January 20, 2004: Flyers trade Justin Williams, acquire Danny Markov It was a trade made out of necessity.

On Thursday, news broke that authorities were finally charging former Flyers captain Mike Richards with being in possession of a controlled substance while crossing the United States-Canadian border back in June. While this was the expected outcome, it's yet another turn of events in what has become an unfortunate fall from grace for the […]
Over the course of the last few years, the Philadelphia Flyers' farm system has gone from virtually barren — the after-effects of being strip-mined of high-end draft picks in "win now" drives — to one of the main reasons for long-term optimism. In particular, the pool of defense prospects has received considerable attention and hype […]
The Flyers pick of Claude Giroux with the 22nd overall pick in the 2006 NHL Draft was comical – then GM Bobby Clarke couldn't remember his name. Now it's synonymous with Flyers hockey.
