GM Chuck Fletcher

[Outlaw Samurai]

By not firing this idiot, management is essentially saying "we're ok with these dog shit on ice preformances coached by this vacuous tool."

If Q is undecided and they prefer to keep Gordon at LHV then try out Knob. Even if he blows, could the team perform any worse? An interim change at least acknowledges they are expecting more from this roster.

Get this beet headed loser out before there are no fans left.

Flyers board two weeks ago
"Fletcher is going to come in and make a bunch of moves and screw things up."

Flyers board now
"Fletcher isn't making any moves, he sucks."

I need one move and it has it hasn't happened, despite there being more than enough reason to do it.

Could we all raise enough money and buy this team?

Wtf are they doing (they are the NHLs version of Hamlet - not actually doing anything)?

I’m up for that. Can I oversee the ice girls?

Magua can be our head scout. Appleyard in charge of analytics.

And the 2nd rounder Bob Clarke said “ate his way out of a pro career.”

At least he could fight, unlike Hakstol

Thanks for reminding me. I have to finish up that 10 minute youtube video of all of Hakstol's fights.

 

[TheKingPin]

Fire Hakstol and trade Simmonds for a young skilled fast top 9 guy and a pick. It will be a merry Xmas!

 

[deadhead]

Until we find out who they replace Hakstol with, then the airing of grievances recommences.

 

[flyersfromquebec]

There is rumors about Hakstol being fired after tonight game

 

[deadhead]

Well, it makes sense, if you're going to fire him, don't subject him to humiliation in front of the home crowd.
Treating people decently seems to be alien to many people on this board.

But last time I checked, Fletcher hasn't raped any boys in the showers, seduced anyone's teenage daughter, dealt drugs in schoolyards, etc.

Having a hockey team quit on you isn't a capital offense.

 

[FlyerEra2010]

Well that escalated quickly lmao.

I'm completely paranoid about all these leaks now. I trust nothing and no one until it's actually official.... please don't let me down, Chuck.

 

[Embiid]

Well he should.....3-0 so far in the 1st....SAD!

 

[deadhead]

It'll take two weeks before we see the thread: "fire (interim coach)"

A better question is who is Fletcher going to move out by this summer.
I think a lot of players are going to have new addresses by next year.

Hakstol out and Q in being discussed as likely to happen over the next couple of days by some people on the twitter.

people who have some insight? or just people.

I have a hard time understanding why Q would enter this volatile situation

Big market, loads of young talent, cap room, ties to Fletcher.

Agreed. I don’t see why anyone would think this wouldn’t be a good spot for him to step in. Potential cornerstone young players in Patrick, Provorov, and Hart. Cap space, deep prospect pool, and even if he is mediocre, he will look like a Genius in comparison to the last buffoon.

 

[FlyOrange]

I know that a prudent thing to do is give Chuck Fletcher a chance, but I am not sold on him at all. Has anyone of us ever looked at Minn. Wild during his tenure and said "Wow, I wish the Flyers were more like them?" I don't buy this "he is respected in the hockey circles" talk since all those guys are old boys and they won't publicly say anything bad about anyone involved in the sport at that level.

Fast forward to couple of weeks ago where he cracking flat jokes during his introduction press conference to referring to the Flyers as a "brand," something doesn't sit right with me about this guy. Flyers roster have been babied ever since Hexy took over, given all the time in the world to "develop." While I don't completely disagree with the said approach, we need someone who's going to put some fear into the players instead of this odd emotionless group of players that have been together way longer than they should have.

 

[Laveuglette]

It's a question of when more than a question of if for Hakstol. They're probably just waiting to agree with the coach they want. Q likely won't coach this year, so if that's the guy they want, it might explain why Hak stays so long.

They probably know for a fact that we won't make the playoffs this year. I think we're gonna be sellers at the deadline then very active in the offseason.

Free lunch. Final wisdom. Total coverage . . . Why not?

 

[Euforic]

The Season has ended now... Playoffs passed. We've all the time for trade an fill n fresh blood and test the lines.....with a new coach...

Trade:
Simmonds, Raffl, Neuvirth, Stolarz perhaps Gudas and some picks...

 

[deadhead]

I'm always amused when people say make a trade, then exclude almost every player that could bring back value in a trade and just want to ship out the players they don't like - unfortunately, most of the league agrees with them.
