The 2014–15 Philadelphia Flyers season was the 48th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.[2] For the second time in three years, the Flyers failed to qualify for the playoffs.

Off-season

On April 15, 2014, the Flyers re-signed 27-year-old impending unrestricted free agent Andrew MacDonald to a six-year extension for $30 million to keep the defenseman under contract through the 2019–20 NHL season.[3]

On May 7, 2014, Paul Holmgren was promoted to President of the Flyers and Ron Hextall was promoted to general manager.[4]

On June 23, 2014, Hextall's first major move as general manager was to trade Scott Hartnell to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for R. J. Umberger and a fourth-round pick in the 2015 draft.[5] Hextall would later sign free agent defensemen Nick Schultz and Michael Del Zotto to one-year deals.[6] [7]

Draft picks

Below are the Philadelphia Flyers' selections made at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, held on June 27–28, 2014 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[65] [66] [67] The team finished the previous season ranked 13th in the league, but secured the 17th overall pick, ahead of the New Jersey Devils who were relegated to the 30th spot for attempting to circumvent the salary cap in 2010.[68] The Flyers original third and fourth-round picks were traded to New York Islanders in two separate trades.[69]
