Flyers Rebuild: Prospects Eye NHL Roster for 2025-26

Following a disappointing 2024-25 season that saw the Philadelphia Flyers finish last in the Eastern Conference and part ways with head coach John Tortorella, the organization is focused on rebuilding and looking to the future. General manager Daniel Brière expressed optimism about the team's direction, highlighting the emergence of promising young prospects. Among those, Alex Bump stands out after a stellar season at Western Michigan University and a strong start with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the AHL, suggesting he could make the Flyers' roster in 2025-26. Despite the team's need for upgrades, particularly in goaltending, the development of prospects and potential offseason additions offer hope for improvement. The Flyers are expected to address roster weaknesses and seek new leadership as they aim to return to playoff contention.
