For the first time in franchise history the Flyers finished with the worst record in the entire league and missed the playoffs for the first time since 1993–94. Off-season During the off-season the Flyers lost Michal Handzus in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks, defenseman Kim Johnsson to free agency and Eric Desjardins and team captain Keith Primeau to retirement. On September 12, 2006, the Flyers signed restricted free agent Ryan Kesler of the Vancouver Canucks to an offer sheet. The Canucks matched the 1-year, $1.9 million deal.Flyers defend Kesler offer https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/flyers-defend-kesler-offer-1.595876 CBC January 12, 2024 September 13, 2006 Regular season Peter Forsberg replaced Primeau as team captain,Peter Forsberg Named Flyers Captain http://flyers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=435371 Philadelphia Flyers January 12, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20141129063834/http://flyers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=435371 November 29, 2014 September 14, 2006 but a chronic foot injury had him in and out of the lineup throughout the season and limited his effectiveness. Eight games into the regular season and with a record of 1–6–1, general manager Bob Clarke resigned and head coach Ken Hitchcock was fired.https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=2634817 Flyers GM Clarke resigns; coach Hitchcock fired October 24, 2006 November 21, 2014 ESPN.com AP Assistant coach John Stevens replaced Hitchcock and assistant general manager Paul Holmgren took on Clarke's responsibilities on an interim basis. thumb|right|Alternate captain Derian Hatcher was the lone Flyer to play all 82 games and was named the league’s top penalty killer by The Hockey News.Hatcher Named Top Penalty Killer by The Hockey News https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/hatcher-named-top-penalty-killer-by-the-hockey-news/c-435755 NHL.com January 12, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20220130140158/https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/hatcher-named-top-penalty-killer-by-the-hockey-news/c-435755 January 30, 2022 April 19, 2007The changes did little to improve the Flyers fortunes in 2006–07 as setting franchise records for futility became the norm. They had several multiple-game losing streaks including a franchise worst 10–game losing streak and a 12–game home losing streak that stretched from November 29 to February 10. Ultimately, the Flyers finished with a 22–48–12 record, the most losses in franchise history and the worst record in the league. They also set the NHL record for the biggest points drop off in the standings in a one-year span (101 points in 2005–06 to 56 points in 2006–07, a difference of 45 points). With the team clearly on the verge of missing the playoffs for the first time since 1994, Holmgren set his sights on rebuilding the team and preparing for the future. Forsberg, unwilling to commit to playing next season, was traded to the Nashville Predators for Scottie Upshall, Ryan Parent, and 2007 1st and 3rd-round draft picks. Veteran defenseman Alexei Zhitnik was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers for prospect defenseman Braydon Coburn and disappointing off-season acquisition Kyle Calder was sent to the Detroit Red Wings via Chicago in exchange for defenseman Lasse Kukkonen. The Flyers also acquired goaltender Martin Biron from the Buffalo Sabres for a 2007 2nd-round pick. Given wide praise for his efforts, the Flyers gave Holmgren a two-year contract and removed the interim label from his title.Flyers and Holmgren Agree to Two-Year Contract Extension http://flyers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=435710 Philadelphia Flyers January 12, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20141129063820/http://flyers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=435710 November 29, 2014 March 14, 2007 The Flyers finished the regular season having allowed 297 goals (excluding 6 shootout goals allowed), the most in the league.2006-07 NHL Summary https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2007.html Hockey-Reference.com January 12, 2024 Season standings PHI PHI Schedule and results Preseason background:#fff;
