WHAT IF the Flyers never signed Ilya Bryzgalov and kept Sergei Bobrovsky? What if Chris Pronger stayed healthy? Bill and Charlie debate the Top 10 "What Ifs" in Philadelphia Flyers history and how these scenarios could have significantly impacted the Orange and Black.

With a new head coach and promising prospect pool, Bill and Charlie of the PHLY Flyers Podcast compare the Flyers' rebuild to past and present rebuilds around the NHL and debate how long the Orange and Black’s rebuild could actually take.

We’re continuing our expectations conversations on today’s show. On Tuesday we discussed Flyers “top tier” prospects like Porter Martone and Jack Nesbitt. Today, we’re diving into prospects who may not have star potential but could be contributors, like Alex Bump and Denver Barkey and Cole Knuble.

Charlie & Bill will also talk expectations for the NHL or close-to-NHL defensemen for the upcoming 2025-26 season.

Today we’re talking about prospects! With Scott Wheeler’s top 100 prospect rankings as a jumping off point, Charlie & Bill discuss the ceiling and floor for the Philadelphia Flyers’ pool of future players.

The Philadelphia Flyers are expecting to be a lot better than the team that finished fourth from the bottom in 2024-25.

So this week, Charlie & Bill are taking a look at Philly’s position groups, beginning today with the Orange & Black’s top-6 forwards.

Could Matvei Michkov become a sophomore superstar? How will Tyson Foerster’s injury impact his season? Can Travis Konecny find consistency throughout the season?

On today’s show we’re diving deeper into the NHL’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement, and some off-ice news around the league, including the Draft potentially remaining decentralized.

Charlie & Bill discuss the controversial state tax issue and its impact on contract prices and the tangible benefit for the no-tax teams.

While a surprise trade or other exciting move like an offer sheet could potentially still be on the table, it feels like Danny Briere’s heavy lifting is done for Summer 2025, having secured center depth in both free agency and the draft, upgraded the goaltending position, and taking a swing on a potential star in the Trevor Zegras trade.

So with the offseason moves probably wrapped up, Charlie & Bill are debating their grades for Philly’s GM, as well as comparing where the Flyers are in their rebuild to historical rebuilds of the Salary Cap Era.

Is Danny done? There are still some lower level free agents available, and a few trade options that would require salary cap gymnastics, but there’s a strong chance the Philadelphia Flyers roster today is the roster we saw when training camp and the preseason begin.
