Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers tried to move cap space, but couldn’t clear enough for Johnny Gaudreau to sign with his hometown team. The Flyers instead added forward Nicolas Deslauriers and brought back defenseman Justin Braun.
The guys break down some of the Flyers recent re-signings, another injury, and the plan of hope they have as well as some big offseason moves around the NHL.
The big story from the weekend is the acquisition of defenseman Tony DeAngelo, the perception of the deal, and the question of fit for the Flyers. The guys also look at the team’s first-round pick Cutter Gauthier and how the Draft played out.

The Flyers acquired the rights to defenseman Tony DeAngelo from the Carolina Hurricanes along with a 2022 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick, a 2023 third-round pick, and a 2022 fourth-round pick. DeAngelo will reportedly sign a two-year extension with an AAV of $5 million.
The Flyers have five picks on Day 2 of the NHL Draft on Friday, but could there also be some trades in the works?
