Flyers Head Coach Rick Tocchet joined the PHLY Flyers Podcast live from the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City to discuss the NHL Draft, relationship with GM Danny Briere, roles for his coaching staff, the Flyers roster, and more.

In the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft, Danny Briere selected Porter Martone 6th overall, and traded picks 22 & 31 to move up to 12 for Jack Nesbitt. With picks 36, 40 & 48 to kickoff the second round, and 4 picks after that, questions abound about the Flyers’ direction.

Are they actively pursuing bigger players? When will they address the defense? Will one of the remaining goalies be an early target?

Charlie, Kelly & Bill are LIVE from Hard Rock Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City to review Philly’s draft, and chat with guests including Rick Tocchet, Flyers’ 2025 draft picks, and Alex Appleyard.

Listen to the live reaction from PHLY Flyers' Bill Matz and Broad Street Hockey's very own Kelly Hinkle as the Orange and Black select Porter Martone No. 6 overall in the 2025 NHL Draft. 

The day has arrived! Live from Chickies & Pete’s it’s the 2025 PHLY/BSH NHL Draft Party! With three first round picks, including 6th overall, Danny Briere’s Philadelphia Flyers are poised for an interesting night, one that could define Philly’s rebuild moving forward.

We’re almost to the 2025 NHL Draft!

With just one more day until the Philadelphia Flyers make the 6th overall pick (and possibly 22nd & 31st, too), we’re having a little fun.

Charlie, Kelly & Bill take a look at Charlie’s 7 round Flyers mock draft, before Bill reveals his BEST DRAFT PROSPECT NAMES LIST! Carter Bear will certainly make the list, but can anybody beat Måns Goos?!

We’ll probably talk a little more about Trevor Zegras, and other NHL news & notes, as well. And also, it looks like we’ve got labor peace! We’ll chat about the new CBA.

The 2025 NHL draft is just a couple of days away, and we’re still clinging to each piece of information, trying to figure out exactly who the Philadelphia Flyers prefer with the 6th overall pick. With that in mind we take a look at Scott Wheeler’s most recent mock draft, as well as Bob McKenzie‘s rankings to narrow down who Danny Briere will select first on Friday night.

Plus, Trevor Zegras had his introduction to Philly’s media contingent on Tuesday. Charlie & Bill discuss the newest Flyer’s answers to questions about Rick Tocchet, playing center, and more.

PHLY Sports' Charlie O'Connor reviews 2025 NHL Draft prospect Roger McQueen's strengths and weaknesses and how the Philadelphia Flyers could benefit from the prospect.

Trevor Zegras is a Philadelphia Flyer. The news broke during yesterday’s show and we’re still wrapping our heads around it. Today, Charlie & Bill will be joined by Derek Lee, Anaheim Ducks beat writer from The Hockey News, to discuss how this trade came to be and what to expect from Zegras.

They’ll also dive deeper into the different aspects of Zegras’ fit in Philly, his contract status, potential linemates, and more!
