[ad_1]
In anticipation of the upcoming season the NHL released the preseason schedule this week. The Flyers will play seven games in late September to early October.
September 22: @ Washington Capitals
September 23: @ Montréal Canadiens
September 26: vs. New York Islanders
September 28: vs. Boston Bruins
September 30: @ New York Islanders
October 1: @ Boston Bruins
October 3: vs. New Jersey Devils
The regular season schedule is expected to be announced later this summer.
As the Stanley Cup Final wraps up this week the league’s focus will shift to the upcoming season. Starting with the Draft June 28 and 29 in Las Vegas. As of right now the Flyers have nine selections in the seven rounds. This includes the 12th overall selection and the 31st or 32nd pick (depending if the Florida Panthers win the Stanley Cup). There have been rumors that the Flyers may try to make a trade and move up into a top ten selection. The 2024 Draft class does not have as much depth as previous classes or the amount of skilled players that are expected to be eligible in the 2025 class. Which puts further emphasis on trying to move up or acquiring additional picks in next years draft.
Heading into free agency the Flyers still have a few free agents not under contract for next season. This include unrestricted free agents in Denis Gurianov, Marc Staal, Erik Johnson, Copper Marody, Adam Brooks, Tanner Laczynski, Victor Mete, and Felix Sandstrom. As well as resisted free agents in Yegor Zamula, Bobby Brink, Mason Millman, and Will Zmolek. This week the Flyers resigned Adam Ginnings to a two year extension as well as signing forward Rodrigo Abolos to an entry level deal from the Swedish Hockey League.
Flyers rookie and training camp will be expected to start a few weeks before the preseason in early/mid September from the Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees New Jersey.
