Confirmed with Link: Keith Jones actually set to be named real life part-time President of Hockey Operations, Danny Briere full-time GM

[Fasu]

I see they've started making the changes they promised

I can see myself continuing this season's trend of checking out maybe 10-20 games of which I'll be seeing maybe a period or two of each. Maybe in 10 years time the Flyers will be few years away from hiring some competent people

 

[Rebels57]

They did an exhaustive search... of the Wells Fargo Center. Jones was found drunk in the darkest corner of the basement spooning with Gritty. Its a big building. I can see how that would be exhausting. Give them a break!

I'll say this...

IF Keith Jones is purely there for culture & to be a good mouthpiece to the public, he can do those things I'm sure. All a matter of if you believe in the culture he'll help instill. This last regime clearly didn't understand the fan base, so perhaps Jonesy can *at least* get that correct.

However, if he is meant to create some fantastical brilliant moves to change how we acquire/sell players & build a team, I would not be very happy about this right now. New mindset is needed on that front.

All it does is signify to other teams how big of a joke they still are.

Baskow remains one of the dumbest people on Earth

He will continue to make excuses.

 

[Curufinwe]

He used the wrong form of complementary in the 3rd paragraph of the body of text.

How can I take this man or his hires seriously.

The Flyers are going to be dominate under his leadership.

This was definitely written by ChatGPT, right?

Edit: I think it actually was lmfao

So really... who is organizing the opening night jersey toss? I've got a Couturier I can part with.

I played some JV high school hockey as a freshman and sophomore. I have roughly 25 years' experience watching Flyers hockey and 1 year experience as a Zamboni driver. I am a good storyteller. I should be the President of the Flyers.

Well again, you know it really depends. I mean I honestly can't even tell you what President of Hockey Ops does.

If the league knows that title doesn't really mean anything, then maybe to the league they actually like it since the Flyers have a massive PR problem and Jonesy is universally liked.

I think it's a stupid hire, but I can't tell *how* stupid without knowing his true role.

The "No excuses. We'll work our ass off." mantra is so, so cringy when directed at the fans.

ZeroGPT thinks the same

 

[dats81]

This appears to be a lot about bringing the business and the hockey side together, not taking too much away from Briere who they want to shape the roster according to his own vision.

Could they have done better? Perhaps. Only time will tell.

They didn’t interview a single person for the GM position.

It’s indefensible.

Did they really not interview anyone?

How can I start my own talent search firm? Asking for an incompetent organization.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Maybe I’ll go stand by a construction site today, and cheer them on.

Wearing orange, and working their ass off too.

 

[Adtar02]

Don’t expect this to change much. But I will give them a shot to prove me wrong.

ChatGPT has been named the Flyers' new President of Hockey Operations

Now THIS is a bold move I would actually applaud lol

Honestly, it would probably be a vast improvement.

 

[Redpath]

The irony of bastardizing the PoHO search for a "communicator" just to turn around and use an AI-written press release

 

[FlyerNutter]

Some will argue this, but in a year John Tortorella became the most powerful man in the organization.

That’s downright hilarious. They will cater to Torts with every move, even a blind man could see that.

 

[deadhead]

Remind me to never hire you in my company. Wash choice matters. CERTAINLY a President position matters. This team has been the alight stock for years now. A guy like Pronger made a lot of sense to me.

I don't think I'm gonna invest in your company either.

I do separate whites and darks, use sanitize for sheets and kitchen towels, so I'm probably overqualified.

 

[BillDineen]

I can't believe they published that crap. Double down on gaslighting the fanbase. F off
