The Flyers are about to get a first real look at their 2026-27 mix, and the training camp roster has plenty of familiar names alongside a few players trying to force their way into the picture.
Camp opens Sept. 17 at Flyers Training Center in Vorhees, NJ, coming on the heels of Rookie Camp, which starts today. In all, Philadelphia has 26 forwards, 16 defensemen and four goaltenders listed for camp.
Up front, the group is led by the players who already sit near the center of the Flyers’ offense. Travis Konecny put up 68 points in 77 games last season, Matvei Michkov finished with 51 points in 81 games and Trevor Zegras arrives after a 67-point, 81-game season.
The more interesting layer is the crowd of young forwards trying to make noise. Porter Martone, the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, scored 50 points in 35 NCAA games and then added 10 points in 10 NHL games with Philadelphia last season. Jett Luchanko, Alex Bump, Denver Barkey and others will also get a chance to leave an impression.
On the blue line, the Flyers are bringing in a group that includes Travis Sanheim, Cam York, Jamie Drysdale, Nick Seeler and Rasmus Ristolainen. David Jiricek is another name worth watching after being acquired from Minnesota in March of this year. The 6-foot-4 defenseman spent last season between the NHL and AHL and will be in the mix for a role in Philadelphia.
The organization also has several younger defensemen in camp, including Oliver Bonk, Spencer Gill and 2026 first-round pick Maksim Sokolovskii, who is listed at 6-foot-7 and 234 pounds.
In goal, the Flyers’ camp roster includes Dan Vladar, Joseph Woll, Aleksei Kolosov and Carson Bjarnason. Vladar is coming off a season in which he appeared in 52 games and posted a 29-14-7 record, a 2.42 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage. Woll was acquired from Toronto, while Kolosov and Bjarnason give Philadelphia two younger options in the system.

Flyers Are Counting On A Different Matvei Michkov This Season
Matvei Michkov is back in Flyers camp with a different kind of momentum heading into his third NHL season. After a sophomore year that was interrupted by fitness concerns and uneven play, the young winger has spent early September training with the team and trying to reset the conversation around what he can be for Philadelphia.
The Flyers are clearly banking on a sharper version of Michkov this time around, and some of the optimism is coming from inside the locker room. Jamie Drysdale and Trevor Zegras have both pointed to the talent and upside still sitting there, which is why this season feels like an important one for Michkov to turn preparation into production and show he is ready for a more consistent role.

Oliver Bonk Just Made The Flyers Blue Line Battle More Intriguing
Oliver Bonks push toward a full-time NHL job has added another layer to a Flyers blue line picture that was already crowded. The 2023 first-round pick got his first taste of the league in the final regular-season game of the 2025-26 season, then surfaced again in a playoff game, an encouraging sign for a defenseman who spent his first pro year building his game with Philadelphias AHL affiliate.
For a player still sorting through the jump from junior to the pro level, the timing matters as much as the appearances. Bonks development has put him squarely in the conversation for a permanent roster spot, but the Flyers have kept adding to the mix, turning what once looked like a straightforward path into a real battle for defensive jobs this fall.

Flyers Prospects Face A Huge Chance To Change The Conversation
The Flyers annual Rookie Series arrives this weekend, and for a handful of prospects it comes with a little more weight than a typical September tune-up. Alex Bump, Jett Luchanko, Ty Murchison and Maksim Sokolovskii are all in the mix, each with something to prove as they try to carry momentum into main training camp and, in some cases, climb out of different spots on the depth chart.
For some, this is simply about showing they belong in the conversation. For others, it is a chance to put months of work and recovery into a live setting and remind the organization what they can offer once the games start to matter. The Rookie Series will not settle every question, but it can change how those questions are asked when camp opens. [Read more 🡒]
