Philadelphia Flyers manage RFA market shifts and prospect loans

Philadelphia Flyers Adam Fantilli Jack Berglund NHL RFA market Swedish Hockey League

The Philadelphia Flyers are navigating significant roster and prospect developments. Negotiations between Adam Fantilli and the Columbus Blue Jackets remain ongoing as training camp approaches. Due to a recent surge in Restricted Free Agent (RFA) contract values—driven by high-profile deals for players like Leo Carlsson and Macklin Celebrini—a gap has emerged between Fantilli’s expectations and the Blue Jackets’ reported offers in the $12-12.5 million range.

In prospect news, the Flyers have announced that center Jack Berglund will be loaned to Farjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) for the 2026-27 season. The 20-year-old, a former second-round pick, will return to Sweden to continue his development after a brief North American stint with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
