They surprised many by staying in the hunt this year right up until the final game. Can they do it again?

Short answer: No
Uh oh. Too early again. No sound.
Rebuilding is the top priority but i think flyers will be in the hunt even more so if we get michkov
I'm 46 years old. I love my Fly Guys. I hope they are so bad next season. They should trade everyone and anyone they can for the better of the team. They need stars and studs. They have their star forward and goalie in Russia for now and should try to be bad for better draft picks and higher talent or trade for the talent. That's what's needed.
I hate being a flyers fan we are stuck in hockey purgatory
I'm never against building off of surprises. It's about instilling the mentality and work ethic from the beginning regardless of expectations. The downsides tanking brings is loser's mentality, inexperience, and you might not even get the player you're hoping for from the draft.
My comments keep getting eaten. What's up with that?
Yeah why not. Michkov will probably come over much sooner, be put on the LTIR and return just in time for the Playoffs. Or something.
The Flyers should just blow it up. The one bright spot is gone. The rest is a mess.
The Flyers will never progress until they stop living in the 70's. This team needs scoring, scoring, and more scoring. Haven't had a sniper since LeClair and they traded away their top scoring prospect for a bag of peanuts. All they do is bring in muckers and grinders. I turn 59 next month and fear I will never see another Cup. My Arizona Cardinals will will win the Super Bowl before the Flyers win another Cup.
This team is like the Hindenburg. You looked at the theory and it didn’t look like it would work, and yet it took off. For a while it looked like it would make it, and you couldn’t help but wonder if something would go wrong. Eventually, it all collapsed in spectacular fashion, and all we could do is watch it unfold in shock.
They’ll finish with about the same points maybe a tad more but could still be looking out of a playoff spot.
Maybe overachiever this year fall off a bit next season?
I love my flyers. I predict they turn into a total of 82-85 points this next season. It’ll hard to be that certain when the schedule come out for like 6 weeks. I feel maybe at the end next season with SKA Michkov stands a chance to be on team of 2025 season. I feel the 25/2026 season is when I see him wearing the uniform. Briere and Jones communicating with KHL especially Fedotov got out of his deal early. Brink might fall victim to Tort’s casualty like Frost has already fallen victim.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on The Red Wings
Fedotov and Michkov are wild cards that could cause this to go in any direction. They are also in the weakest division in the league (Hurricanes and Rangers being the exception).
It's at least a 5 years rebuild.
And the Mad Russian is coming the Flyers way.
He will be the guy that attracts the free agents.
God I can't wait for Michkov.
Let's go Flyers!
Maybe they should get a real coach first
Now we see how the drafting really goes. They took on a contract and it really worked out badly with him being not injured enough to play for Colorado, but too injured to play for Philly.
The goalie situation in camp should be fun.
And we'll see who said they can't deal with Torts and get traded at the draft or something. Pick12+(unhappy player) or something to move up?
A little more scoring would be so big. If they'd had an 18th place power play, they make the playoffs.
There's been talk going around that Michkov may be coming over sooner than expected.
Hope we trade TK, acquire more picks and young prospects, and plan for a Michkov lead team. Don't care about the next 3 years
