Off-season

edit

During the off-season the Flyers lost Michal Handzus in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks, defenseman Kim Johnsson to free agency and Eric Desjardins and team captain Keith Primeau to retirement.[2]

On September 12, 2006, the Flyers signed restricted free agent Ryan Kesler of the Vancouver Canucks to an offer sheet. The Canucks matched the 1-year, $1.9 million deal.[3]

Regular season

edit

Peter Forsberg replaced Primeau as team captain,[4] but a chronic foot injury had him in and out of the lineup throughout the season and limited his effectiveness. Eight games into the regular season and with a record of 1–6–1, general manager Bob Clarke resigned and head coach Ken Hitchcock was fired.[5] Assistant coach John Stevens replaced Hitchcock and assistant general manager Paul Holmgren took on Clarke's responsibilities on an interim basis.[5]

 
Alternate captain Derian Hatcher was the lone Flyer to play all 82 games and was named the league’s top penalty killer by The Hockey News.[6]

The changes did little to improve the Flyers fortunes in 2006–07 as setting franchise records for futility became the norm. They had several multiple-game losing streaks including a franchise worst 10–game losing streak and a 12–game home losing streak that stretched from November 29 to February 10. Ultimately, the Flyers finished with a 22–48–12 record, the most losses in franchise history and the worst record in the league. They also set the NHL record for the biggest points drop off in the standings in a one-year span (101 points in 2005–06 to 56 points in 2006–07, a difference of 45 points).

With the team clearly on the verge of missing the playoffs for the first time since 1994, Holmgren set his sights on rebuilding the team and preparing for the future. Forsberg, unwilling to commit to playing next season, was traded to the Nashville Predators for Scottie Upshall, Ryan Parent, and 2007 1st and 3rd-round draft picks.[7] Veteran defenseman Alexei Zhitnik was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers for prospect defenseman Braydon Coburn and disappointing off-season acquisition Kyle Calder was sent to the Detroit Red Wings via Chicago in exchange for defenseman Lasse Kukkonen.[8][9] The Flyers also acquired goaltender Martin Biron from the Buffalo Sabres for a 2007 2nd-round pick.[10] Given wide praise for his efforts, the Flyers gave Holmgren a two-year contract and removed the interim label from his title.[11]

The Flyers finished the regular season having allowed 297 goals (excluding 6 shootout goals allowed), the most in the league.[12]

Records

edit
 
The 2006–07 edition of the Philadelphia Flyers (Kyle Calder, Jeff Carter, and Sami Kapanen pictured on the left during a January 4 game against the New York Rangers) holds several dubious franchise records.

Among the team records set during the 2006–07 season was a number of losing and winless streaks, including a nine-game losing streak (December 8 to December 27), an eight-game home losing streak (December 9 to January 27), and a 13-game home winless streak (November 29 to February 8).[22][23][24] Goaltender Antero Niittymaki went a team record 15 games winless from December 2 to January 20.[25] A lone bright spot was Alexandre Picard’s five assists on February 1 against the New Jersey Devils, setting team records for most assists in a single game by a defenseman and by a rookie.[26][27]

Franchise single season records were set for most losses (48), most home losses (24), fewest home wins (10), fewest points (56), lowest points percentage (.341), and fewest shootout wins (1, tied during the 2021–22 season).[28][29][30] Niittymaki’s 29 losses tied Bernie Parent’s 1969–70 record for most losses in a single season by a Flyers goaltender.[31]

Farm teams

edit

The Flyers were affiliated with the Philadelphia Phantoms of the AHL[97] and the Trenton Titans of the ECHL.[98] After an early season coaching change from Craig Berube, who joined the Flyers as an assistant, to Kjell Samuelsson, the Phantoms struggled finishing sixth in their division and missing the playoffs.[99] Trenton finished 4th in their division and made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs before losing to the Dayton Bombers in their last season as a Flyers affiliate. Following the 2006–07 ECHL season the Titans were renamed the Trenton Devils by their new owners, the New Jersey Devils.
