O&B Puckcast - A Philadelphia Flyers Podcast: Recent Episodes
O&B Puckcast
A podcast for Philadelphia Flyers fans who want the perspective of locals who have followed the team for 30+ years. O&B Puckcast host Isaiah is joined by Philly podcast veteran Chef B, representing the voice of the fan. Follow the show on twitter: O&B Puckcast@isaiah_520
Isaiah and Dan welcome Scott Wheeler, who covers the NHL Draft and prospects nationally for The Athletic, to discuss how the young players and prospects on the Flyers' roster are shaping the team's timeline for success. The panel reviews Scott's latest articles from a Flyers perspective and considers whether the team's recent playoff run—including its first-round victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins—has changed his concerns about its direction.
Scott's 2023 redraft sparks a lively discussion about the Flyers' scouting successes. The panel also explores whether a prospect's league-wide market value should factor into the best-player-available (BPA) calculation, given that prospects can serve as trade currency as much as future roster players. The topic stems from the team's unsuccessful attempts to improve its NHL roster at the draft in June.
The conversation concludes with a look at the new contracts for Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale, which give the Flyers flexibility—an apparent theme following their unsuccessful offer sheet for Leo Carlsson. The panel also discusses the possibility of acquiring Arber Xhekaj, Rick Tocchet's placement in The Hockey News' coaching rankings, the WJSS and more!

Isaiah and Dan welcome Bill Meltzer (Flyers.NHL.com, HockeyHotStove.com) to break down the Flyers' biggest offseason questions after the Anaheim Ducks matched Philadelphia's offer sheet for Leo Carlsson.
What does the failed pursuit of Carlsson reveal about the organization's mindset? Can the Flyers realistically accelerate their rebuild, or is patience still the best path forward? The panel also examines whether the club's draft strategy has limited its future trade flexibility and discusses whether GM Daniel Briere has any significant moves left to make this summer—or if meaningful roster changes will have to wait until the regular season.
The conversation wraps up with a look ahead to training camp, including the new contracts for Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale, the expected development of last season's young players over a full campaign, the likelihood of Rasmus Ristolainen remaining with the Flyers , and plenty more.

Isaiah is joined by Anthony DiMarco (DailyFaceoff.com) for a special edition of the O&B Puckcast, reacting to the Anaheim Ducks' decision to match the Flyers' five-year, $90 million offer sheet for Leo Carlsson.
The duo break down the events surrounding the offer sheet, the statements from Carlsson and the Ducks organization following the decision, and what the outcome means for both franchises. They also discuss what the aggressive pursuit reveals about the Flyers' organizational mindset and their determination to accelerate the rebuild.
The conversation then shifts to what's next for Philadelphia. With Carlsson off the board, they examines the Flyers' remaining options to strengthen the roster at center and on defense, whether additional offer sheets or trade scenarios remain realistic, and what fans should expect as the offseason continues.

Isaiah, Chef and Dan are joined by Anthony DiMarco (DailyFaceoff.com) and Kevin Durso (97.3 ESPN) as the Philadelphia Flyers send shockwaves through the NHL by signing Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson to a five-year, $90 million offer sheet.
Anthony DiMarco opens the show by breaking down the offer sheet, what it reveals about the Flyers' timeline and organizational mindset, the likelihood of Anaheim matching, and the club's contingency plans should the Ducks retain Carlsson. The discussion also explores other potential trade and offer-sheet targets as the offseason continues.
Kevin Durso then joins the conversation to examine the broader implications of the Flyers' aggressive approach and what it signals about the organization's direction moving forward. The panel also discusses the possibility of a Claude Giroux reunion, the addition of Noel Acciari, highlights from Flyers Development Camp, and the latest news from around the NHL.

Isaiah, Chef, and Dan are joined by Jason Myrtetus (Flyers Broadcast Network, @jasonmyrt on X) to break down the Philadelphia Flyers' 2026 NHL Draft class. The panel evaluates each of the team's selections, discusses the organization's overall draft strategy, and compares the Flyers' approach with the rest of the league.
The discussion then shifts to one of the NHL's biggest offseason storylines: the growing number of star players becoming available through trades. As elite talent increasingly changes teams, the panel examines whether the Flyers missed an opportunity to strengthen their future trade arsenal by selecting several prospects viewed as longer-term projects rather than consensus first-round talent. Would a more "chalk" approach have produced prospects with greater league-wide value as trade chips, even if the Flyers believed they had higher ceilings? It's a debate that could shape the organization's ability to pursue elite NHL talent in the years ahead.
The show also covers the expected re-signing of goaltender Dan Vladar, qualifying offers to the Flyers' restricted free agents, highlights from Prospect Development Camp, and the latest offseason developments surrounding the organization.

Isaiah, Chef, and Dan are joined by Anthony DiMarco of DailyFaceoff.com as the Philadelphia Flyers prepare for one of the busiest weeks of the offseason, with the NHL Draft just days away.
The panel examines the ripple effects of the trade requests from Dylan Larkin and Darnell Nurse, along with the blockbuster deal that sent Brady Tkachuk to Florida. They discuss how the league's shifting power dynamics are creating new opportunities, why player movement has become increasingly unpredictable, and how the Flyers can position themselves to capitalize on a rapidly evolving market.
The show also dives into the latest trade speculation surrounding the Flyers, the most recent draft rumblings, potential contract signings, and what fans should realistically expect as one of the NHL's most anticipated weeks unfolds.

(Update: We also discuss the Flyers acquisition of goaltender Joseph Woll from the Toronto Maple Leafs!)

We're joined by Anthony DiMarco of DailyFaceoff.com to break down the latest Flyers rumors, pending player signings, offseason strategy, and the team's approach to the upcoming NHL Draft. The panel also shares its thoughts on the Stanley Cup Final, with the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights locked in a tightly contested series.
This time of year is known as "Silly Season" for a reason. The discussion separates legitimate reports from speculation, examines which rumors have real traction, and explores which narratives may be driven by agents, teams, or the rumor mill itself.
The panel also tackles one of the biggest questions facing the Flyers this summer: should fans expect a bold move, or is Daniel Brière committed to a more patient, incremental approach? With expectations growing after the team's surprising season, the gap between what fans want and what management is likely to do could become one of the defining storylines of the offseason.

The 2026 Philadelphia Flyers have reached the NHL postseason for the first time in six years. Isaiah, Chef, and Dan are joined by Bill Meltzer (flyers.nhl.com, hockeyhotstove.com) to break down how the Flyers went from a 3.8% playoff probability one month ago to finishing with 98 points and securing third place in the Metropolitan Division, setting up a first-round matchup with their archrival, the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The panel examines how the Flyers turned a season that once looked headed for the draft lottery into a remarkable comeback, highlighting key turning points, coaching decisions, and the factors that reshaped expectations for the franchise. Central to the surge were the unexpected return of Tyson Foerster, the emergence of young contributors such as Porter Martone, Matvei Michkov, Denver Barkey, Alex Bump, and Jamie Drysdale, and the steady presence of team MVP Dan Vladar in goal.
In the show's final segment, Anthony DiMarco of DailyFaceoff.com joins to provide his insider perspective on how the Flyers pulled it off, the league-wide reaction to their surge, and what to expect in the playoff series against Pittsburgh.

Isaiah, Chef, and Dan return with the Flyers riding a 14-4-1 stretch into a playoff spot with five games remaining in the season. The team's improved defensive play, along with an infusion of new faces led by rookie Porter Martone and the return of Tyson Foerster, has pushed the Flyers closer to their first postseason berth since 2020.
The panel recaps the three games since the last episode before being joined by Anthony DiMarco of DailyFaceoff.com to assess the team's playoff chances, Martone-mania, the perception of fans being overprotective of Matvei Michkov, the Jiricek signing, the struggling power play, and the offseason implications of a potential playoff berth.

Isaiah, Chef, and Dan return with a new O&B Puckcast as we welcome Bill Meltzer from flyers.nhl.com and hockeyhotstove.com.
On tonight's show, we take a brief step away from the Flyers' on-ice storylines to get our first look at how several top prospects are performing almost a quarter of the way into their seasons. From Porter Martone and Jett Luchanko to Alex Bump and Denver Barkey, we dig into Bill's insights on their early progress. (🚨 We also discuss the Flyers trade of Dennis Gilbert for Max Guenette).
We then break down why the Flyers seem stuck on a treadmill — hovering just above mediocrity — and what's preventing them from stringing together strong, consistent play. We also dive into key storylines such as Rick Tocchet's usage of Matvei Michkov, the team's struggles in back-to-backs, Sam Ersson's inconsistency, the 4th line's lack of impact, the timing of a Trevor Zegras re-signing, and more!

We break down a mercurial run where the Flyers managed to snag 5 out of 6 points, including a big bounce-back from Dan Vladar. Plus, we dig into Matvei Michkov's four-month hiatus and what it might mean going forward.
The crew gets into the heated Sean Couturier chatter—are the critiques fair, or are folks missing the big picture? We also look back on Pelle Lindbergh's legacy, 40 years after his tragic death, and pay respects to former Flyers captain Mel Bridgman, who passed away at 70.
