Bonk is expected to remain out for approximately two weeks with a lower-body injury.
Bonk's hopes of cracking Philadelphia's lineup out of training camp took another hit on Wednesday after the team announced he would be out for two more weeks due to a lower-body injury. The 20-year-old defenseman was Philadelphia's 2023 1st round pick (22nd overall) and is coming off a strong, 11-goal, 40-point campaign with London (OHL) in 2024-25. He is expected to start the season in Lehigh Valley (AHL) when he is healthy enough to return.
Ristolainen could miss the first 1-2 months of the season recovering from a ruptured right triceps tendon.
Ristolainen's 2024-25 season was cut short due to a ruptured right triceps tendon and could bleed into this year as the defenseman is expected to miss the first 1-2 months of the season recovering. The 30-year-old is entering his 13th NHL season and has not completed a full 82-game season since 2015-16. Before his injury last season, he had four goals, 19 points and 100 SOG across 63 games played.
Foerster (elbow) is confident he'll be ready for the Flyers' season opener.
Foerster has participated in the first couple of days of training camp in a non-contact sweater, but anticipates ramping up before the start of the regular season on October 9th. Foerster is coming off of a career-high in goals (25), assists (18), and points (43).

The 24-year-old is coming off a two-year, $3.2 million contract ($1.6M AAV) and earned his contract with a four-goal, 17-point season across 66 games played in 2024-25. York is expected to take on a big role as one of Philadelphia's top defenders this season.

Pederson is an undrafted 27-year-old forward who last played in the NHL in a 16-game stint with the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2022-23 season. He spent the entirety of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, scoring 12 points (5G/ 7A) in 18 games with the Bakersfield Condors.
The Flyers have signed Dennis Gilbert to a one-year deal worth $875K AAV.

The 28-year-old defenseman appeared in 29 games combined between Buffalo and Ottawa last season, picking up six assists, 50 PIMs and a -3 plus/minus. He is expected to compete for Philadelphia's final defensive spot in training camp ahead of the upcoming season.
The Flyers have signed Dan Vladar to a two-year deal worth $3.35M AAV ($6.7M total).

The Flyers have signed Christian Dvorak to a one-year deal worth $5.4M AAV.
The first big domino of the 2025 free agency has dropped after Philadelphia signed Christian Dvorak to a one-year, $5.4 million contract. The 29-year-old center will join his third NHL franchise in 10 seasons after putting up 12 goals, 33 points and 16 PIMs in 82 games with Montreal in 2024-25. He is expected to center either Philadelphia's second or third line in the upcoming season.
The Flyers signed Noah Juulsen to a one-year deal worth $900K.
Philadelphia added to their defensive depth right away to start the 2025 free agency after adding 28-year-old Noah Juulsen to a one-year, $900,000 contract. Juulsen appeared in 35 games with Vancouver in 2024-25, but failed to pick up a point alongside his 21 PIMs and -12 plus/minus. He will likely be Philadelphia's sixth defenseman heading into the 2025-26 season.
