It’s been a busy week for the Flyers, so this is undoubtedly a happy Sunday.
It’s been a great week, with plenty of fun all around for us, however. The Flyers had themselves a busy week in Buffalo at the NHL Draft Combine, with plenty of notes coming from the event.
Draft boards are also starting to take shape. The Flyers will have options, but is there an ideal player? Additionally, a conference rival is starting to get desperate, and Philly could take full advantage of it.
Also, could a Russian star be tempted to return to his KHL club soon? Check it out in today’s edition of the PhHN Daily (still taking name suggestions).

Philadelphia Flyers
Philly Hockey Now: The Flyers are going to have some tough choices to make on June 27th. While they are likely to get the leftover tier two prospect after teams pick at three, four, and five, they will still get a good player. But who is the ideal player to fall? In our latest PhHN+ story, we rank the ideal draft pick for the Flyers at No. 6.
NHL Draft Combine: The Flyers had themselves a busy week in Buffalo. With eight picks in the top 70, the Flyers had lots of research to do. Check out our combine wrap for everything Flyers-related from this past week in Buffalo.
Sabres Getting Desperate
Yesterday, Elliote Friedman reported that the Buffalo Sabres are willing to trade top prospects in order to get right-now help. That would go hand in hand with recent reports that many of Buffalo’s stars are becoming unhappy with the team’s timeline.
To me, this sounds like some very important players said, ‘Make us competitive,’ or ‘I want out.’ It seems like a desperate move. If they are going to get desperate, the Flyers should jump all over it in one way or another.
Maybe now would be a great time to revisit a possible Bo Byram trade?

Pittsburgh Hockey Now: Jackson Smith may very well be playing hockey in the state of Pennsylvania very, very soon. However, even if he does not attend Penn State, he still could end up in the Keystone State sooner rather than later. Dave Molinari has the story for Pittsburgh Hockey Now.
New Jersey Hockey Now: The New Jersey Devils need to add scoring forwards to their roster, and some perfect fits may have come available. James Nichols breaks down the three forwards that have recently become available.
Montreal Hockey Now: Ivan Demidov is in Montreal and is a rostered player on the Habs. Almost everyone is content with that, except for one important person, who is trying to get the star rookie to return to Russia.
