In Monday’s edition of Bailey’s Daily, we’ll be talking the latest Philadelphia Flyers news, NHL news, stories, highlights, and more from the last day.

Flyers News

After a memorable 16 seasons in the NHL, former Philadelphia Flyers forward and NHL journeyman Derick Brassard is calling it quits from hockey, having sat out the entirety of the 2023-24 season. Brassard broke his fibula against the Flyers in March 2023 and never returned to the ice for another NHL team.

In what is surely the second-most important Flyers news of the day, it seems the day has finally arrived. Well, will arrive, and arrive soon. According to multiple reports, top prospect Matvei Michkov is indeed terminating his contract with SKA St. Petersburg with the intention of joining the Flyers as an NHL player this summer.

In case you missed it, the Flyers could have had a golden opportunity to pair some top young talent with Michkov in the form of Rutger McGroarty, except there’s a catch: McGroarty is close friends with Cutter Gauthier, and McGroarty is almost doing the same thing to the Winnipeg Jets as Gauthier did to the Flyers.
