Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

[Flyerfan4life]

You f***s couldnt have held onto this idiot in some bullshit role so NJ didnt have to?

In a decade this man will have tainted the entire tri-state area at this rate

dont worry the mouthbreathers say he only made 1 mistake in Philly and even that one was only a smalll one....

Don’t say Chuck Fletcher didn’t learn a few things while he was here. I’m almost a little proud of him for convincing another team to make him a senior advisor.

 

[Beef Invictus]

This is going to get almost no traction and it’s a huge deal. I can’t imagine a league run worse than the NHL.

What was he thinking? Was he unaware of of where he was?

 

[Beef Invictus]

This is incredible. I hope they do everything he suggests.

Sports getting in bed with betting has become and awful, awful experiment. Hypocrisy through the roof.

Exactly. How did they think this was going to turn out? Oh right they didn’t think this would happen.

The problem is the Flyers are the equivalent to an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon in this extended metaphor. Danny Briere is currently having his hands bitten by bullet ants as part of his rite of passage.

Lets hope its 'senior' based on his age versus the rest of the staff

So much for "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"

Chucky Cheese better make sure his app is updated. What a league lol

And I thought NJ was a smart FO that did a rebuild the right way (i.e. get lucky and end up with the #1 pick twice!).

Would you take their front office over the flyers? If not why.

How could they pass on including a guy in their FO who only made one mistake during his previous GM tenure?

Are you now of the opinion that employing Fletcher is bad?

weird how a GM got fired considering he only made 1 mistake... and even that wasnt really a mistake..

Fletcher did what Holmgren told him to do. And got the Flyers into the playoffs.
Holmgren hired him to be the anti-Hextall, that is, to listen to Holmgren.

Then when Holmgren saw the handwriting on the wall, he retired and left poor Chuck dangling in the wind.

We've already shown you all the ways this is BS.

Hey, if Homer was so influential, how come almost nothing has changed with him gone? That same committee forged by Fletcher is still the same.

So let's say this is true. Chuck then proceeded to do a terrible job when he was able to make his own decisions. Do you disagree?

Why can't you say Chuck was terrible. Flyers management is terrible.

Also I thought Clarke hired Chuck?

Wasnt quite that early (though i wasnt checking probably) - certainly was pre-2017 though, well before his face reveal arc lol

RDCWorld1 is probably the biggest Youtube channel I followed very early on

Holmgren fired Hextall, then hired CF. Clarke may have influenced the decision, but Holmgren was the decision-maker.

Holmgren could have started a rebuild in 2019 after a bad season and the core aging, instead he doubled down, while CF might have executed it better, the result would have been the same. They lacked the talent for a SC run, got lucky in 2019-20, then slipped back to mediocrity.

CF's problem was he couldn't start a rebuild (no one in the FO was willing to rubber stamp it), and he didn't have the talent to remain a contender. So he muddled through.

The best move he made was to hire Torts, who was willing to say the Emperor had no clothes. That got CF fired, Briere hired, and a commitment to rebuilding.
