  The Liberty Yell #134: Tick Toch

  Sep 24, 20261h 35m

  The Leo Carlsson offer sheet was matched; time to move on. The Flyers didn't get their 1C. Now, let's dive into what DID happen. On Episode 134 of The Liberty Yell, the boys discussed everything that has happened in Flyers land since we all last talked. Trevor Zegras (4x$9.125m) and Jamie Drysdale (4x$6.5m) both avoided arbitration and signed new deals with the Flyers. Two huge current and future pieces of this team. We have Matvei Michkov coming into camp, giving full English interviews, and looking slimmed down and ready to go. We dive into his entire offseason and Rick's positive comments this summer. Should the Flyers lock him up now? Or wait? The Flyers have made it a real point to fix the power play this season. Today, they had a 5-man unit of Trevor Zegras, Porter Martone, Matvei Michkov, Tyson Foerster, and Jamie Drysdale. Tocchet made it a point that even if this unit starts slow, he'll stick by them because he'd be an "idiot" if he did yank them after a couple of bad games. The preseason (0-2) start isn't what we wanted, but we were watching the Phantoms team with a couple of NHLers sprinkled in there. Knuble (who has been fantastic) and Luchanko are what's left of the roster bubble forwards after cuts. Jiricek, Bonk, Benoit, and Grans remain for the defense. We go over our guesses of who makes it and who doesn't. Follow us on X, IG, Facebook and TikTok @TheLibertyYell

  The Liberty Yell #133: FLYERS OFFER-SHEET LEO CARLSSON

  Jul 3, 20261h 37m

  Danny Briere and the Philadelphia Flyers have decided to drop a news bomb on us on July 3rd, 2026. They have officially signed Anaheim Ducks star center Leo Carlsson to a 5-year $90 million offer sheet that's worth $18M a year, and heavily front-loaded with bonuses. A ground-breaking move from Briere that would make the 21-year-old star the highest-paid player in the NHL. The Anaheim Ducks have 7 days to match or not match, and the boys over here at TLY break down both avenues. On this MUST-LISTEN Episode 133 of The Liberty Yell, we break down the move from every angle. Are there some reasons for the Ducks not to match? What are those avenues? How realistic are they? Will they actually let a 21-year-old star walk out the door? Does Pat Verbeek have a job after this, either way? The corner he has backed himself into is a pretty dark one. This is the kind of aggressive, franchise-altering move we've all been waiting for, and Danny has done his part. Come join in on the conversation. @TheLibertyYell on X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok

  The Liberty Yell #132: ALL IN ON MAKSIM; FLYERS IN ON EVERYONE?!

  Jun 30, 20261h 28m

  We are back with Episode 132, and there is a ton to talk about. The 2026 NHL draft is officially in the books, and the boys go over the Maksim Sokolovskii pick at 27 and some of the traits we love from the tall defenseman. We also go over the Brek Liske pick and how he's more than just a Flyers fan who was picked in the 2nd round. Is the Flyers' overall draft strategy something you think will work? We discuss the decision to drop back in the 1st round for more capital and the emphasis on size and defensive projects. Why did they pass on two extremely talented offensive defenseman in Villenueve and Bleyl? We hand out our grades, discuss the "size vs skill" debate, and look at how this class fits the current #8 (Wheeler) prospect pool. Finally, we got hit with Zach Werenski declining a trade to Dallas midway through the podcast. What does his wanting to stay in the East mean for the Flyers? Is it Werenski or bust for Briere? Are the Flyers in on Marchenko? What about Nikishin? We break down what realistic packages could look like! Analysis, Prospect breakdowns, VERY STRONG OPINIONS... and a lot more in Episode 132!

  The Liberty Yell #131: Draft Day Looming & The June 23rd Trade Explosion

  Jun 26, 20261h 2m

  The Liberty Yell is back for Episode 131! With the fanbase (and me) having some fun with the Flyers trade history on June 23rd, other teams throughout the NHL decided to join in on the fun and cause some chaos! And I'm here to break down all the trades that have happened since the June 16th Joseph Woll to Philadelphia trade. I kicked things off by going over the funny (and ironic) graphic my edit guy, Johnny, made for National June 23rd Flyers Trade Day. Brayden Schenn for Morgan Frost, Jori Lehtera, and Joel Farabee on 2017 draft day? Memories. Then we dive into the sheer amount of trades from OTHER NHL teams on the Flyers day... Simon Nemec to CGY, William Eklund to Ottawa, Jordan Kyrou to Washington, and Bo Byram to Chicago. We also get into who I like for the Flyers, with where they SHOULD be drafting (21st overall). Maddox Dagenais, Xavier Villeneuve, Tommy Bleyl, Ilia Morozov, Alexander Command, or Elon Hermansson? Could Malte Gustafasson fall? I talk about it at length! Garnet Hathaway to the Panthers, Jason Robertson saying no to Seattle and St. Louis tonight, and Mason McTavish getting closed on by the Rangers or Blues. Will Danny close? We'll see! Pure hockey chaos all around, and I have a feeling we're just getting started! Follow @TheLibertyYell on X, IG, Facebook and TikTok!

  The Liberty Yell #130: Joseph Woll is a Flyer; More To Come?

  Jun 18, 20261h 11m

  MOVEMENT HAS HAPPENED. The Philadelphia Flyers kicked off the post-cup handout with a trade! On Episode 130, we break down the move that sent Sam Ersson, Emil Andrae, and a 3rd roud pick in 2026 to Toronto for Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit. We analyze the outlook for the future of the defense and why there could be more movement coming soon. We talk about how Danny might have just created one of the better goalie tandems in the league if Joseph Woll can stay healthy and Dan Vladar can look like 75% of the guy he was last year. Plus, we preview the NHL draft and the prospects that could be available when the Flyers are up to draft. Could they move up? Trade the pick for an impact roster player? Package it in a deal with Risto? We break down all possible scenarios. Dylan Larkin's 3-team list, Darnell Nurse trade request...FLYERS ARE INTERESTED??? A fun, jam-packed episode on everything Philadelphia Flyers! Follow us on X, IG, Facebook, and TikTok @TheLibertyYell and don't forget to rate us!
