We’ve got 56 days until the Philadelphia Flyers regular season opener, which means we’re talking about the greatest players to wear #56 in franchise history! While Claude Giroux’s emergency call-up in 2008 is the obvious answer, one of Bill’s favorite players of the this lost decade also appeared in the number.
We’re also discussing an Inquirer article which poses five questions entering 2026-27 (like why aren’t Nikita Grebenkin and Hunter McDonald signed yet), as well as the funniest responses to yesterday’s Patrik Laine segment, and who the hell did the Pittsburgh Penguins just signed to an 8-year deal?

How do these guys find James van Remsburg?
I think maybe Cates and Barkey will share custody of the third-line center position until one of them seems stronger in the role. Cates and Barkey are both LW/C listed, and left is the side we have less natural depth on.
I am likely wrong, but the Grebenkin and McDonald non-signings yet, seem like Briere wanting the freedom to renounce their rights, if he needs the $$$ for a big move.
Without injuries no way Barkey will play at the center position
Dubas overpaying? Sounds like Toronto all over again!
