Today, Charlie & Bill are discussing some of their favorite draft prospects outside of the blue-chippers, based on Charlie’s latest article (https://allphly.com/flyers-draft-prospects-analysis-eklund-obrien-reschny/)

There’ll also be conversations on the latest trade news and rumors, Flyers free agents signing possibilities and the awesome Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.

Big day today with a special guest! The Athletic’s Senior NHL Prospect writer Corey Pronman joins the show to discuss the upcoming Draft, and all of Danny Briere’s options at 6, 22, and beyond!

We’ll talk James Hagens, Brady Martin, Porter Martone, Joshua Ravensbergen, the emphasis on size, a league-wide aversion to drafting Russians and all things 2025 NHL Draft.

Plus, Charlie & Bill discuss the latest rumors regarding Nic Hague, Jason Robertson, Mason Marchment and more!

Several recent Mock Drafts, including Charlie’s own, have the Philadelphia Flyers selecting Jack Nesbitt with the 22nd overall pick acquired from the Colorado Avalanche in last year’s Sean Walker trade.

With 22 being one of the Flyers’ most successful draft positions (Claude Giroux, Simon Gagne, Brian Boucher, Oliver Bonk all taken 22nd), it seems time to move on to prospects who could be available to Danny Briere with Philly’s 2nd first round pick.

We’re once again diving deeper into one of the Philadelphia Flyers’ potential draft picks at sixth overall, Porter Martone. Given Alex’s status as our Foreign Correspondent, we’ll also ask for the latest on Maxim Shabanov.

Charlie, Kelly & Bill also discusses the Stanley Cup Final, Matvei Michkov finishing 4th in Calder Trophy voting, and more!

Former NHL video coach Steve “Petey” Peters joins PHLY Flyers to discuss the Stanley Cup Final matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers, as well as a coach he worked with personally during his tenure with the Coyotes, new Flyers assistant Jay Varady.

A busy weekend of rumors for the Philadelphia Flyers that we’ve got to cover on today’s show.

On Friday afternoon it seemed imminent that KHL MVP finalist Maxim Shabanov would be signing with the Orange & Black, but as of Monday’s showtime, still nothing is confirmed. But what does Danny Briere’s reported pursuit of the undersized winger mean for the rest of the roster?

And with the draft a mere 18 days away, Charlie & Bill discuss the rumors and reports about James Hagens, Brady Martin, Joshua Ravensbergen and the all the rest of the NHL Draft Combine.

On this Friday episode, Charlie & Bill catch up on a busy week of Flyers and hockey news. From the Orange & Black’s reported interest in Vegas defenseman Nic Hague, to the Stanley Cup Final, plus a whole bunch of answers to listener questions in a MAILBAG!
