The 2015–16 Philadelphia Flyers season was the 49th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.[2] The Flyers opened the regular season on October 8, 2015 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.[3] This was the first season under new Head Coach Dave Hakstol. The Flyers qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the second Wild Card team in the Eastern Conference, but lost in the first round in 6 games to the Washington Capitals.
Off-season
After the Flyers failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second time in three seasons in 2014–15, head coach Craig Berube was fired.[4] On May 18, 2015, the Flyers hired Dave Hakstol to replace Berube. Hakstol had been the University of North Dakota's head coach for the past 11 seasons, during which he had a 289–143–43 record and led the school to the NCAA tournament in each season and advanced to the Frozen Four seven times.[5] The Flyers retained assistant coaches Ian Laperriere, Joe Mullen and Gord Murphy.[6] Kim Dillabaugh was named goaltending coach on July 3, 2015, replacing Jeff Reese.[7]
The Flyers signed Kontinental Hockey League defenseman Evgeny Medvedev to a one-year, $3 million contract on May 20.[8] June 27, the first day of the draft was a busy one for the Flyers as they selected defenseman Ivan Provorov with the 7th overall pick, whilst also trading the 29th and 61st overall selection for the 24th, in order to select forward Travis Konecny.[9] The next day the Flyers made a trade to create some cap space, with the Arizona Coyotes receiving Nicklas Grossmann and picking up the contract of Chris Pronger, while the Flyers acquired Sam Gagner and a conditional 2016 or 2017 draft pick.[10] The Flyers then traded Zac Rinaldo to the Boston Bruins in exchange for a 2017 3rd round pick on June 29, whilst re-signing Chris VandeVelde to a two-year deal.[11][12] The next day, the Flyers re-signed Ryan White to a one-year deal.[13] On July 1, the Flyers signed free-agent goaltender Michal Neuvirth to a two-year $3.25 million contract.[14]
