Cam Atkinson, Travis Konecny, Matvei Michkov and the Flyers’ unwavering timeline theathletic.com/5446554/2024/0…

So no NHL players are good throughout their 30s? Pretty sure I watched a 35 year old Brad Marchand dominate last night.

Next

How do you know they won't be competing by then? Did you watch them this year?

I will never understand the 'Trade Konecny' people. He can score. He's a pain in the ass to play against. He plays in all situations. He's a leader. He loves Philly. And he'll still just be 29 in two years when Matvei Michkov (probably) arrives.

Kings are gonna make a series of this IMO. Vibes have seemed a little off with Edmonton, even if they're outplaying LA

I know no one wants to hear it but the NHL really needs more Brad Marchands

Looking at why #SJSharks GM Mike Grier opted to fire David Quinn now and what is in store for the next head coach.

Somehow I've covered nine of these guys theathletic.com/5436354/2024/0…

New for ⁦⁦The Athletic⁩:

The Arizona Coyotes are gone, leaving fans heartbroken, players uprooted and employees worried about their jobs.

Don’t mistake Alex Meruelo’s role in the center of it all theathletic.com/5439189/2024/0…

After signing Ivan Fedotov yesterday, the Flyers have their likely goalie tandem for the next two years.

A look at how Fedorov and Sam Ersson could develop, with perspective from ⁦Martin Biron⁩ ⤵️ theathletic.com/5439432/2024/0…

'(To be) an impactful player in this league (is) to have your low as high as possible.'

'He’s not a good skater, and he’s going to need to work on that a ton.'

More on what is likely to be the Flyers' goaltending tandem for the next 2 years:

Flyers’ goalie tandem appears set. Whether it’s good enough is another question

(Thanks to friend of the show ⁦Martin Biron⁩ for his always keen insight)

Yeah I mean I'm not going to bury them for it. But, I did speak with someone today that has a few concerns about how much he needs to work on.

(How's that for a plug for my piece that will drop later today?)

I understand the circumstances to a point, but $3.25 million AAV for a 27 year old goalie that has played just 3 NHL games is a gamble. I suppose the Flyers still being in their 'rebuild' makes it more palatable, but...that's a big number for a guy that is essentially a project

As indicated here about a month ago, Ivan Fedotov was always expected to sign a two-year deal. Lots of other details in here about his journey/what comes next, ICYMI:

theathletic.com/5378101/2024/0…

Ivan Fedotov agrees to 2 year extension with the Philadelphia Flyers. $3.25 mil AAV.

This getting mad about the way opponents score empty net goals is the dumbest development in the NHL in a long time

Flyers must decide whether Morgan Frost, Joel Farabee should be part of the future theathletic.com/article/543335…

Weak

I only have two playoff predictions.

1) Rangers def. Stars in Final.

2) There will be a clean hit with the unfortunate result of head contact and everyone will relitigate the whole 'ban all head shots regardless of circumstance' debate on Twitter at some point.
