reading through all this information it sounds like Hak was really constrained

lets see who he replaces murphy with and see how things play out

if ghost and provy still suck at the end of this year and the team starts out slow next year... then hak should be canned ASAP

I know the PK was poop but the Defense and Goaltending were not of his responsibilities

Shocked by the Pryor firing. Not shocked by any coach firing. Who coaches and changes the defense now?

What if Dave Hakstol is really the Verbal Kint of this entire coup and is really behind Hextall's ouster?

I don't know if I'm late or not but I remember seeing something yesterday that Hak has been meeting with Homer for the past month or so

He's today's version of the 80's slasher villain who keeps getting a sequel.

Either he is going to be THEIR guy....or Hak is in "Look I will be blunt, I know I am out soon so this guy sucks..." mode.
- Glak18



Maybe a " If I am auditioning for the new guy at least let me do it my way a little?"

Still don't think he is retained but I have seen weirder stuff happen.

I can see it going either way, but I won't lie: I'll be fairly stunned if Hakstol makes it to the end of the year

They just don't play like a team that should be keeping its coach. Even I say that and I honestly think Hakstol has gotten a bum rap from some of the fanbase

great article as per the norm Bill...my pick would be Zito. hands down. All the right experience, passion, and just feels like he was born to be with the Flyers. Also, one of the smartest hockey guys I know...for sure...It would be an exciting and progressive move to be sure..

yzerman would be perfect but its most likely a pipe dream as smart money is him taking over in DET and money most likely isn't a motivator for him.

He did say on Fan590 that it was always his dream to be the GM on the Flyers since he never got to live out his dream of playing for the Flyers.

I agree. Flyers mentioned him by name, but he isn’t coming here.

I am hopeful for Quenneville for coach though.

Looks like Hakstol influenced the Murphy firing

Or just not enough. I want every single person that makes decisions gone. They are a mess, from top to bottom.

The core, except for Giroux, should be shown the door as well.

Man. This reminds me of the 90s/early 2000s Flyers, where there was always poop going down

All we need now is a player revolt and J.R. Superstar to come back and shoot pucks at Michal Neuvirth's head, and we'd be good to go

They can barely hot the net, what makes you think they could hit Injurywerth's head?
