Confirmed with Link: John Tortorella relieved of his duties as Flyers coach. Brad Shaw to take interim charge for now.

Flahr’s biggest responsibility is the scouting.

Which before him was dogshit, and continues to be during his tenure.

But I’m sure they saw his draft picks as a positive, why he’s been kept on.

Trading back from Boldy was genius level /s

 

[ajgoal]

An organization where each of those positions aren't individually important.

The thing that matters here is the collective cronyarchy. Nobody being solely in charge is a feature. Maximizes involvement for the Olds who want to feel important.

So in a word: dysfunctional.

You just know Torts checked all 32 of those boxes for the Foundational Titans

It’s just funny. The scouting drives me insane. Some pretty logical decisions.

Caufield. Buium. Michkov. Perreault.

Don’t f*** around Gauthier, and add him to that pile.

That’s a decent start to a core. Instead of the vanilla crap they have now.

Flahr is a disaster, as are the rest of these idiots they employ as scouts. The trades back are hilarious for this group. Enough of that big brain nonsense.

The only thing I'd trust Flahr to scout is cheesesteak joints.

Drafting Caufield changes things for the draft position for the Flyers.

I do find it amazing that pretty much all of the respected “scouts” on here have a much better track record than what the Flyers have been doing.

Of late I have a better record and outside of the first round, my chief scouting priority is "does he have a cool name?"

I should not be outperforming anyone.

 

[Appleyard]

I'm having a hard time believing that story.

When no one puts their name to a story... on a website like that... I would feel very reluctant to trust it.

And the message stuff... is Torts now an expert hacker?

So....not "Cutter"...

Two years in a row they had a no brainer pick fall right into their laps. Of course they screw up the second one. Pretty funny

And they all wanted that we congratz them for the Mitch drafting. But we all know they only got lucky.... 1 year later the next disaster.... its pathetic

If the Rangers fire Laviolette do you see Briere being interested? I bet he still watches the 2010 playoff highlights once a week.

I'm not sure his standards would be high enough for my taste.

Rather have Lavi then some of these other dinosaurs

 

[sa cyred]

Sorry if this talked about before, but Ferschweiler. What's the thoughts here. Obviously seems like Jones is friends with him but that aside, would he be a solid coach? Took a Western Michigan team I dont think many expected to win the whole thing. But thats on the surface.

I know the team is scared hiring a rookie NHL coach vs more fossils after Hakstol but crazy to just push any rookie coach aside after 1 bad hire... when we have had multiple horrible fossil coach hires.

Coots is simply amazing.

I really don't wanna know what stupid stuff Torts came up with.

 

[FlyerNutter]

I wonder which of Couturier’s text messages Torts was able to get his hands on.
