Flyers

This year’s Stanley Cup Final and the playoffs as a whole really proved several things. Here are five things we learned from the Stanley Cup Final.

As we get closer to the NHL Draft, we’ll look at the obvious top two candidates, but also a few prospects that could be surprises at No. 2 or options if the Flyers do try to trade down a few picks. We start with the player widely regarded to be the best in the draft class, Nolan Patrick.

Patric Hornqvist, a draft pick of the Nashville Predators, scored the game-winning goal with 1:35 left to give the Pittsburgh Penguins the win in Game 6 and the Stanley Cup title for the second straight season.

With Shayne Gostisbehere locked up, the Flyers face a number of options to make their new priority before the Expansion Draft arrives

The Flyers made their first signing of the offseason, agreeing to a multi-year contract with defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, GM Ron Hextall announced on Friday.

It may be premature to look at the hiring this way, but the Flyers opting to bring in a coach considered a “rising star” may not be a good thing for Dave Hakstol down the road. For now, however, it goes along with the Flyers blueprint for the future, especially as new prospects start to arrive.

The Penguins scored three goals in the first and three goals in the second to roll to an easy 6-0 win over the Nashville Predators in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday.

The Vegas Golden Knights could have interest in taking Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth in the Expansion Draft, given GM George McPhee’s history with Neuvirth. If that happens, what options does that leave the Flyers to fill the void in goal?
