Chelsea sign experienced striker Danny Welbeck - Yahoo Sports

This summer was all about taking the next step forward for the Philadelphia Flyers. What they actually did was a lean forward instead of the leap that they wanted. Does the team, and more specifically general manager Danny Briere, have any major regrets for not being able to pull it off? Years ago, the summer of 2026 was seen as the specific moment that the Flyers could feasibly go out and get a star so that they can have a leader up top with a whole lot of young talent and very good players complementing their skill. How realistic this idea was is still in question, but looking at the likes of Kirill Kaprizov, Kyle Connor, Adrian Kempe, Connor McDavid, and Jack Eichel, just to name a few of the best forwards on the planet right now who were set to become unrestricted free agents this past summer, it makes sense that they would at least aim for that possibility.
