An underwhelming offseason, a new coach, and a management group on the hot seat bring about plenty of questions. Before the puck drops on the new season, let’s dive into five questions facing the Flyers this season.

As the city of Philadelphia is abuzz with the Phillies playoff run, the Eagles undefeated start, and the approach of the Sixers season, the expectations and anticipation for the Flyers is at an all-time low.

Tuesday morning, the Flyers officially announced the 23-man roster ahead of opening night on Thursday against the New Jersey Devils.

Flyers forward Joel Farabee was cleared for contact after visiting with doctors on Thursday, making him a possibility to be in the lineup on opening night.

The Flyers made 10 more roster cuts on Wednesday, and defenseman Cam York was the headliner of the group.

The Flyers are set to close out the preseason on Tuesday night when they host the New York Islanders at 7 p.m.

The Flyers dropped their fourth straight preseason game on Sunday night, falling to the Islanders, 2-1.

John Tortorella will be on the Flyers bench for the first time as the preseason continues on Sunday night against the New York Islanders.

After taking a sizable shot advantage in the first period, the Flyers were out-shot, 24-13, for the remainder of the game and out-scored, 4-0, in their third straight defeat in the preseason against the Bruins.

The game group the Flyers will send on the road for their fourth preseason game against the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon offers a healthy mix of veteran players and young players locked in roster battles. Puck drop is at 1 p.m.

Flyers head coach John Tortorella addressed multiple topics on Friday, including the captaincy, young players, and goalies, while the team made more roster cuts.

Shades of last season were on display in a two-goal second period for the Washington Capitals, who never looked back, handing the Flyers a 3-1 loss at Wells Fargo Center.

Before the puck even hits the ice, the Flyers are already dealing with more than their share of injury woes.

Before Flyers fans even get a chance to see what a John Tortorella camp looks like or how the team will respond, they got a taste of the new bench boss’s no-nonsense approach. It’s very clear that each of the 71 players on the training camp roster are now on Tortorella time.

At the end-of-season press conference, and for much of the offseason, the Flyers focus was on injured players returning healthy. The so-called plan has already backfired before the team even takes the ice for training camp.

According to a report from Crossing Broad’s Anthony SanFilippo, Flyers forward Sean Couturier suffered a herniated disc and could miss significant time this upcoming season.

The guys are back and talk about John Tortorella’s comments about the state of the Flyers locker room with training camp right around the corner.

The guys discuss a fan survey on The Athletic where the Flyers ranked last, World Juniors, some late free-agent signings and more.

In a poll conducted by The Athletic ranking NHL front office confidence levels based on fan input, the Flyers ranked dead last, 32nd in the NHL. 

The NHL Draft has come and gone, blink and you missed free agency. The final piece of the Flyers offseason outlook is to focus on line combinations for the upcoming season.

The guys are back after a couple of quiet weeks around the NHL. They discuss some important dates for the upcoming Flyers season around rookie camp and training camp, the team’s immediate future, World Juniors, and some other news around the NHL.

The Flyers will buy out forward Oskar Lindblom, who was set to enter the final year of a three-year deal in the 2022-23 season, placing him on conditional waivers on Tuesday afternoon. His current cap hit was $3 million and the buyout saves the Flyers $3.33 million toward the cap.

Now that the NHL Draft is over, the Free Agent Frenzy can officially begin. Who will the Flyers approach in free agency, and will they another trade to clear more cap space in order to bring home Johnny Hockey?
