The Flyers staff at Sports Talk Philly put together a series of predictions, both on the Flyers and the rest of the league. Here are the results.

Using Daily Faceoff’s fantasy projections as a guideline, we’ll review the five veteran players that make up the Flyers core and how those projections look.

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.

Gritty was unveiled a week ago this morning, and his first week in Philadelphia has been an eventful one, winning over the fans of Philadelphia and traveling quite a bit. Here’s a rundown.

While there were dicey moments during the first couple of periods, the Flyers got some solid performances from some additions to the lineup and players making one last push to be on the roster. More from some of the standouts from the Flyers win over the Bruins in our Postgame Review.

It wasn’t a pretty game from start to finish, but a strong third period led the Flyers to a 4-1 win over the Bruins in the preseason finale on Saturday from TD Garden.

It’s the final trial run for the Flyers in the preseason, as the team closes out the eight-game schedule with a trip to Boston to face the Bruins. Game time is at 5 p.m.

A lot of the bubble players will get a look in Thursday’s preseason game against the New York Rangers, the final one on home ice in the preseason. Game time from Wells Fargo Center is set for 7 p.m.

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 Philadelphia Flyers have completed one week and five games in the preseason. The roster is down to 35 players with three games remaining and roster battles are heating up.

News, notes, quotes and more from Day 2 of Flyers training camp.

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.

Wayne Simmonds addressed his contract and a possible extension with the Flyers for the first time on Wednesday in a meeting with reporters in Toronto. “We continue to talk,” Simmonds said, but directed more attention to getting healthy first.

Ron Hextall’s goal from the day he took over as GM has been to build the Flyers into a Stanley Cup contender. With the roster where it is now, how close are the Flyers to being a true contender?

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?

Over the years, when Sean Couturier has not been in the lineup, there is a significant drop in talent and the Flyers lose depth as a result, greatly altering the level of play on the ice. So does that make Couturier the Flyers most valuable player?

With the 2018-19 NHL season approaching, Mikhail Vorobyev may be able to earn his spot on the roster as the Flyers third-line center after playing a solid defensive role with the Phantoms.

Wayne Simmonds is still with the Flyers and figures to be through the 2018-19 season. His future beyond next season, however, remains cloudy with lingering questions.

The Philadelphia Flyers face the end of another disappointing season. It’s become a regular notion with the team’s current core of players. Now they must be held accountable.
