After reaching the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Philadelphia Flyers lurched from the gate this season with a 1-6-3 record in their first 10 games. Some of their fans recently booed the team<\/a> off the ice, while others called for head coach Rick Tocchet to be fired<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Multiple pundits, including Flyers beat writer<\/a> Kevin Kurz of The Athletic and Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco, reported<\/a> that Tocchet’s job is safe for now. They also wondered if a trade might right the ship and which players could become trade bait.<\/p>\n

Kurz noted that the Flyers have several young players under long- and short-term contracts who lack any sort of no-trade protection. They include Trevor Zegras, Jamie Drysdale, Noah Cates, Tyson Foerster, Matvei Michkov, and Cam York.<\/p>\n

Di Marco suggested long-time Flyers such as Cates, Owen Tippett, and Travis Konecny as potential trade chips. He cited team sources claiming Konecny’s style of play was becoming a source of frustration and suggested he could be asked to waive his no-movement clause if things didn’t improve.<\/p>\n

Buy or Sell: Sell…for now<\/p>\n

On Oct. 13, TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reported<\/a> that Flyers general manager Danny Bri\u00e8re was getting plenty of calls, but no offers that would provide immediate help. LeBrun believes there’s no blockbuster trade or easy fix to get the Flyers out of this mess, suggesting they’ll have to deal with this internally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After reaching the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Philadelphia Flyers lurched from the gate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":886797,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-886796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
