Off-season

The first major event of the off-season was the

2017 NHL expansion draft The 2017 NHL expansion draft was an expansion draft conducted by the National Hockey League on June 18–20, 2017 to fill the roster of the league's expansion team for the 2017–18 season, the Vegas Golden Knights. The team's selections were an ...

selected Pierre-Edouard Bellemare at number 12 from the Flyers. Having been awarded the second overall pick in the 2017 NHL entry draft in the draft lottery, Hextall made several trades in the lead-up to draft day. The most significant of them being to trade Brayden Schenn to the

in exchange for the 27th overall pick in the draft, a conditional first round pick in 2018, and Jori Lehtera. The Flyers selected forward Nolan Patrick with the second overall pick, and went on to add Morgan Frost with the pick acquired from St. Louis and Isaac Ratcliffe with their second round selection, to add to their forward prospects. The Flyers remained fairly quiet players in free agency, as had been the case the previous year. The main issue for Hextall being to decide how to fill the vacancy left in net by Steve Mason. On July 1, 2017 the Flyers announced the signing of free agent Brian Elliott who would join the recently extended Michal Neuvirth to make up the goalie tandem. The Flyers also re-signed several players including Scott Laughton, Taylor Leier, Jordan Weal and Shayne Gostisbehere.

Records

Among the team records set during the 2017–18 season was Michael Raffl and Claude Giroux combining to score the fastest two goals in team history, scoring six seconds apart during the season finale on April 7. Excluding the shortened 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons, the Flyers 679 penalty minutes on the season is an all-time franchise low. Giroux’s –10 plus/minus rating during the playoffs is a franchise worst.
