The 2013–14 Philadelphia Flyers season was the 47th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.

Off-season

The Flyers first major move of the off-season was trading for the negotiating rights to New York Islanders defenseman Mark Streit, an impending unrestricted free agent, for a fourth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft and minor league forward Shane Harper. Streit signed a four-year, $21 million contract with the Flyers.

Following the 2012–13 NHL lockout each team was granted two compliance buyouts to be exercised after the 2012–13 season and/or after the 2013–14 season that would not count against the salary cap in any further year, regardless of the player's age. The Flyers used their two compliance buyouts on June 27, 2013, buying out centerman Danny Briere and goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov. Briere had two years and $5 million left on the eight-year, $52 million contract he signed with the Flyers on July 1, 2007. Bryzgalov had seven years and $34.5 million left on the nine-year, $51 million contract he signed with the Flyers on June 23, 2011.

The Flyers made two major signings in free agency. Former Tampa Bay Lightning centerman Vincent Lecavalier, who had been bought out by the team he spent his first 14 NHL seasons with, signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract on July 2, 2013. Former Flyers goaltender Ray Emery, who had spent the previous season with the Chicago Blackhawks, returned to Flyers by signing a one-year, $1.65 million contract on July 5. On the same day the Flyers signed star center Claude Giroux to an eight-year contract extension worth $66.2 million.

Regular season

After a second consecutive 0–3 start to the regular season, head coach Peter Laviolette and assistant coach Kevin McCarthy were fired on October 7. Assistant coach Craig Berube, who previously played for the Flyers and served two stints as head coach of the Flyers' AHL affiliate Philadelphia Phantoms, was named the new head coach while John Paddock and Ian Laperriere were announced as Berube's assistant coaches. Assistant coach Joe Mullen and goaltending coach Jeff Reese were also retained.

Transactions

The Flyers were involved in the following transactions from June 25, 2013, the day after the deciding game of the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals, through June 13, 2014, the day of the deciding game of the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals.

Trades

Date	Details
July 1, 2013	To New York Rangers Danny Syvret	To Philadelphia Flyers Kris Newbury
October 31, 2013	To Colorado Avalanche Maxime Talbot	To Philadelphia Flyers Steve Downie
March 4, 2014	To New York Islanders Matt Mangene 2nd-round pick in 2015 3rd-round pick in 2014	To Philadelphia Flyers Andrew MacDonald
March 5, 2014	To Boston Bruins Andrej Meszaros[a]	To Philadelphia Flyers conditional 3rd-round pick in 2014[b]

Trade notes

• ^a  The Flyers retained half of Meszaros' $4 million cap hit.

• ^b  The 3rd-round pick would have upgraded to a 2nd-round pick if the Bruins reached the Eastern Conference Finals and Meszaros played in at least 2/3 of their 2014 Stanley Cup playoff games, or if Meszaros re-signed with the Bruins before the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Neither condition was met and the draft pick remained a 3rd-rounder. If Meszaros re-signed with the Bruins for the 2014–15 season after the draft began the Flyers would have received an additional 2015 4th-round pick, but Meszaros signed with the Buffalo Sabres on July 1, 2014.
