What happened: Philly Hockey Now’s summer mailbag outlines a high-stakes offseason for the Philadelphia Flyers, focusing on a long-term extension for star forward Trevor Zegras. The team is also evaluating options to package their 21st overall pick to move higher in the 2026 NHL Draft.

Why it matters: Coming off a second-round playoff exit, the Flyers have approximately $37.5 million in cap space to solidify their roster. Negotiating a deal for Zegras is a top priority for GM Danny Brière to ensure the franchise’s cornerstone remains locked in before the July 1 deadline.

What to watch: Fans should monitor the June 26 draft for trade activity as the Flyers work to extend Zegras and goalie Dan Vladar.
