Analysis on the Flyers final roster and the final decisions that were made this weekend.

The Flyers announced the final 23-man roster to start the 2018-19 season on Sunday.

With final cuts approaching, it’s fairly easy to start reading between the lines and deciphering who is ahead in the roster battles. An update from Flyers training camp with notes on the roster, injuries and more.

There was more clarity in the Flyers lines at practice as the preseason winds down. Also, the Flyers released a statement regarding Jori Lehtera and updated injuries.

The goalies are the leading topic at camp now with Alex Lyon and now Neuvirth dealing with injuries. Brian Elliott is also working his way back from an injury. That has all eyes on Carter Hart and Anthony Stolarz, two goalies just trying to throw their name into the competition. News, notes, quotes and more from training camp.

The Flyers picked up another preseason win with a lot of the contributions coming from young players trying to solidify their spot on the NHL roster. The standouts from Wednesday’s win at MSG in our Postgame Review.

The New York Rangers await as the Flyers hit the road for the third time in the preseason so far, facing the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

With the first four days of training camp and two preseason games in the books, it’s provided some clarity on who the Flyers third-line center options appear to be, based on both the on-ice sessions at camp and GM Ron Hextall’s comments.

It was difficult to find many positives out of this game, a 3-0 loss for the Flyers to the Islanders, and an injury to Travis Sanheim only added to it. 

Notes, news, quotes and line combinations from Day 1 of Flyers training camp.

The Flyers have a number of players who put together solid seasons in 2017-18, but still have something to prove or need a big season in 2018-19. Here are five players who need a big season in 2018-19.

Six years ago, then Flyers GM Paul Holmgren made a trade that is widely regarded as the worst in franchise history when he sent James van Riemsdyk to Toronto for Luke Schenn. The Flyers president is among the many in Flyers management excited to have JVR back in Orange and Black.

With the Flyers offseason plan essentially complete — with the exception of training camp happenings — have the Flyers done enough to show improvement in key areas from a season ago?

Jordan Weal remains an interesting possibility for the Flyers third-line center role that keeps being mentioned specifically by GM Ron Hextall, making the case for Weal even stronger as the offseason winds down.

The Philadelphia Flyers may be without second line center, Sean Couturier for some time. How long should you expect the center to be gone and what options do the Flyers have to fill the void?
