Sigh, I see all the armchair GM’s are back at it.

Yea for Beagle, Schaller, Roussel, Sutter, Gagner, Motte, all great signings for a good cap hit.

Boo to Eriksson, Leipsic, Gaunce overrated unwanted players.

How do you feel about your boy Ronny getting the axe?

On another note, watching Tanner backpedal today has been amusing

I would love to see a MJL in here, he would no doubt be a big fan of Eriksson.

I didn't mind Hextall but don't think he was great like Lefty does, I'd say he was pretty average. And like Benning he came into a team full of contracts that are difficult to move, but he did try to stock up draft picks and just waiting for some of the contracts to expire. People were frustrated because of the lack of elite young talent to get excited about + a mediocre NHL roster. They have/had a lot of decent prospects, but not ones like Boeser/EP outside of Provorov.

He's a patient/loyal guy and the guys above him in the organization are Bobby Clarke and Paul Holmgren, they don't exactly believe in a patient approach when the team is disappointing

Will the Flyers turn softer or tougher, under the new management.
I guess they can't get much softer...nevermind.

Pffft....snot nose kid, Hextal took a team in cap hell back to reality, he built a prospect system which was nonexistent under Homer and the win now at all costs regime.

He made some bad signings but he was a draft and develop guy, patience is not acceptable in Philly.

He’s barely a fan of theirs lol, he’s a casual watcher

That’s why he’s afraid to go into Meltzer’s blog. Someone will name drop a prospect or assistant coach and Lefty’s head will spin

Oh, I see Lefty in there quite often, just not under his Canuck name. I believe he even stops by here, under his Flyer name😁

Isn’t this the problem though? Half the GMs in the league appear incompetent from an outside perspective. I have no problem turfing Benning but who the (frank) is guaranteed to be better AND available?

Indeed. Luckily Hefty will have his flyers jersey, a bucket of KFC with a double side of gravy and a fridge full of saturated fats to console him
