As part of NHL.com’s 32 in 32 series, the fantasy hockey staff has ranked the top five players on the Philadelphia Flyers and identified other preseason draft targets with point and win projections for the 2024-25 season.
1. Travis Konecny, F
NHL.com point projection: 75
Last season, Konecny paced the Flyers with 68 points in 76 games. His 33 goals positioned him at a tie for the 27th spot in the League. Remarkably, Konecny has managed to achieve consecutive 60-point seasons without participating in more than 76 games in either of them. His steady output marks him as a top 60 overall pick in fantasy drafts.
2. Owen Tippett, F
NHL.com point projection: 60
Last season, Tippett led the Flyers with the most shots on goal – 289 in 78 games. He also ranked second on the team in points (53) and goals (28). Given his potential, if he plays a full season, Tippett could potentially score 30 goals. Therefore, he should be regarded as a top 50 forward in fantasy drafts.
Tippett scores his second goal with a backhand shot after spinning around a defender in the DAL@PHI game.
3. Matvei Michkov, F
NHL.com point projection: 59
Michkov, who was selected as the No. 7 pick by Philadelphia in the 2023 NHL Draft, is gearing up for his debut season in the NHL. He achieved 41 points, including 19 goals and 22 assists, in his 47 games with HK Sochi of the Kontinental Hockey League. As one of the most valuable rookies in fantasy, he is worth considering for a top 85 overall forward draft pick.
4. Travis Sanheim, D
NHL.com point projection: 47
Last season, he came fourth in points on the Flyers and led their defensemen with 44 in 81 games. Sanheim set new NHL career highs in points and goals (10). He is a top 40 defenseman option to consider in fantasy.
5. Joel Farabee, F
NHL.com point projection: 56
Following his career-best season, Farabee recorded highs in points (50 in 82 games) and goals (22), securing the third rank in points for the Flyers. His potential for fantasy upside is significant, provided his health remains intact. It’s worth keeping an eye on him on the waiver wire.
Farabee initiates scoring with a breakaway at SJS@PHI.
