That I'll agree with, Hextall was mediocre at best (though did a good job drafting after the 2nd rd, but that may be more about the scouts than Ron), Chuck is a step down from Hextall.

Holmgren - Hextall - Fletcher, like I said, a decade of ineptitude fueled by self-delusion.

Chuck is spinless. He is a follower. No balls to take a real approach to get this franchise back on track.

What orders will he give Danny when he steps down?

It’s because they plan on converting all of those shoot-first wingers into centers.

To be fair, they've shot me into not giving a shit. For that I owe them.

 

[Deadpool8812]

If Hart were on the trading block. Any guesses/opinions to what his value would be?

A lot, but if it's Fletcher pulling the trigger...

 

[Flyerfan4life]

The entire league knows Fletcher is the easiest prey in the league, and the team will continue to be treated as such until he's gone completely.

unless Flutch is fired beforehand he is 100% gunna piss away that 23 1st. in some horrific trade to offload JVR or Hayes..

my guess is Hayes..

and its gunna be comical how bad he gets bent over..

Okay, but how do you classify a shoot first draft eligible winger who will switch to being a shoot first college center who might still be a shoot first pro winger? Hmm? Where is your snark now!!!1!

[Beef Invictus]

What about a shoot-first anomalous position player who can hit a 280 yard ambidextrous drive

With Cuck negotiating? Probably a 2025 4th round pick.

@Captain Dave Poulin Do you think they could make a Korean reality show with this as the plot? He’s got the name for it.

It has the most important thing any Korean show needs - a triangle.

Flyers' Kevin Hayes could be bought out in offseason

Despite being the Philadelphia Flyers leading scorer, Kevin Hayes has found himself in John Tortorella's doghouse on a few occasions this season.

I'll be honest, I don't see this happening with Chuck in charge because that would mean he has to admit a mistake.

Seravalli ripped Tortorella on his recent podcast for benching Hayes.

Cliff notes for anyone not wanting to read this 21 page thread : Same as every other thread with the same ardent defense for this club while ignoring reality of how bad this team is.

there is a block button. If everyone uses it, then no one can hear them scream.

They need to keep Kevin playing so we can keep losing games!

Hear what?
And Hayes needs to be 1C again, TK is doing too well, needs an anchor.

 

[mize370]

Who are these Couturier, Atkinson and Ellis people you are all talking about? Are they in Reading because i have seen some flyers and Phantoms games this season and i haven't heard their names on the ice yet

Do they not hit enough? Did they not get a cute nickname from Kev dawg?

Seravalli ripped Tortorella on his recent podcast for benching Hayes.

Given that they are not tanking, I think it’s a dumb move because it doesn’t help the team on the ice, it can only lower Hayes’ value, and it creates another gong show distraction.

Hayes and TK have similarly poor defensive numbers this season, so I won’t be surprised if the next fight Torts picks is with Konecny. He’s already benched him for a whole period.

That’s essentially the angle he was coming at.

Any clips of it ?

Nah it’s on his latest one during the buy or sell thing they do.

He essentially found it pointless in the grand scheme of things & more hurtful than good long term for reasons @Curufinwe pointed out.

Every single player in the NHL.

Awesome I'll take McDavid and Matthews your the new gm

I 100% see angles against it, especially the notion that, if you wanna derive some trade value (ha!), benching the guy is gonna hurt.

But ultimately I want all these people to get exactly what they ordered. You wanted to pay Kevin Hayes $7m for 7 years? You wanted to get rid of the good players and fill the roster with shit? Then you wanted to bring in John Tortorella? Wow, what could possibly happen?

I hope it goes really well for everybody!!!! No one's gonna learn a lesson--not Hayes about his play, not Torts about his sanctimoniousness, not management about its bad decisions--but at least they all look great right now!!!!
