Marc Bergevin, that's what. And then Travis Konecny to Carolina for Jesperi Kotkaniemi. It's gonna be awesome.
Have a gambling advertiser but don't support help? Stop talking about better help then.
The take on Torts doesn’t really make sense (doesn’t make sense for you guys to pay attention to the day-to-day so I get it).
That being said hopefully Flyers can start to clean house, not hopeful though based on the last 20 years.
Ron Hextall had full power as GM of the Flyers. The problem is , in his snugness and self absorbed manner he didn't listen to anyone in the Flyers organization. In the 17 draft the Flyers Scouts begged him to select Cale Maker. But Hextall chose the slow Centerman from his home town Brandon. Your point that Hextall didn't have full autonomy is not according to fact. In 18 Flyers did not hire Fletcher to be a yes man. They hired him because they believed he would be aggressive in moves that would benefit the short term. When they needed a complete rebuild and overhaul of everything.
Chuck Fletcher was Tortorella's boss you retards. He's not going to throw him under the bus while he's still there.
The Same Thing happened to both John Davidson & Jeff Gorton a Few Years Ago. With The Rangers,they were on The Hot Seat, did nothing at The Trade Deadline, rather than try to improve the team, To Take On And To Challenge The Islanders, and, They're Gone A Couple Of Days After. Chuck, likewise, with A Team With Problems, Did Nothing at The Trade Deadline, and, now He's Gone. Therefore, if you are A GM with A Team That Needs To Make Changes, and, Do Nothing At The Deadline Equals, You're Gone.
What a shock.
As a Flyers fan, we need to rebuild. Need to do what Nashville is doing. Trading players under contract and clearing cap space for picks and prospects. Konecny, Hayes, Provorov, and DeAngelo are the main ones to trade. AT LEAST two of those guys need to be traded this off-season. And on draft day, I’d trade either Hayes, Provorov, or DeAngelo for a 1st rounder and more to get a second 1st round pick in this draft.
What now? Eradicate any traces of any Ex-Flyer taking up space in the Front Office. Those ‘3 Kings’ would be the first to go.
Danny Briere, the new GM? Not thrilled with that…another ex-Flyer? WTF?
the inconsistencies with the takes on this pod are insane. First we have to hear the same old “Carter is trash even tho is is top 10 in both GSAx and WAR” narrative then Steve absolutely hits the bullseye (pun intended) with saying him being fired does nothing for the org
As a Wild Fan I am sorry to the Flyers Fans that man single handedly ruined my team until 2026 GodSpeed to you all
Steve should rank the Gms
Torts can't do his normal thing cuz he would have to bench literally the entire team.
Fletcher and Scott and Torts should be fired lets start over.
Chuck Fletcher was a puppet in Philly. He did what the Comcast execs told him to do. Now that the STB's are protesting and keeping their money in their pockets, Comcast is trying to undo the damage they did. Chuck was simply something Comcast did that they needed to undo.
All of this makes me even more glad that we have the ownership we have.
And Stevie Y is our GM.
LGRW! 🐙🏒💵👍
