This team is a friggin mess.

I’m not saying they didn’t try for Quenneville, because it takes two to tango, but he needs to be the guys.

I’m sorry that I’m not running around celebrating Scott Gordon being given the chance to be the coach next year. He sucked for the Islanders in his only chance.

Should we go for Jack Capuano too?

More elaborateness:

Fletcher saying that not only has he not spoken to Quenneville in two years, he hasn't even asked the Blackhawks for permission, while Andy Strickland said --correctly, as it turns out -- that Quenneville said that reports of him being hired were incorrect

Right, wrong, whatever. Believe whoever you want, but this was a poop-show

- AllInForFlyers

Fletcher is full of poop. As we see by today’s move.

The story is just cover for him lying last night.

Exactly -- there was zero need, none, for what went down last night. Could've done "no comment," could've not made Hakstol available

It’s (frank)ing sad when Jeff and Fred Wilpon look more professional and in control then the Flyers brass.

I honestly never thought I’d utter those words.

Let me help him out:

Weise, Lehtera, AMac, all goalies not named Elliott, Stolarz or Hart, Weal and Folin suck

Giroux is really good

The rest are somewhere in between. FFS, how hard was that?

I agree what you said, but the evaluation has more to do with how this team plays as a group more than making a list of who is good and who is bad. The problem with this team is they don't excel at any one thing, maybe faceoffs this year, most of the roster forwards are grouped into what I consider nothing special category.

If the team wanted to play a more fast transition game, which players would benefit and which would look like Weise in all situations. Who do you keep and what roles can they play.

I found this gem funny

All that is a smokescreen, Joel will probably take that job, the big question is what will Chicago ask for as part of compensation? I am sure they have their eyes on a couple of the young flyer defenseman possibly. But then again Bowman may screw that up also.

Mock draft simulator has us taking Dylan Cozens. Took six attempts before they got 1st pick.

All I need is a top three pick. Either stand pat for Kakko or Dach or cash in some of these prospects and go all in for Hughes.

It (frank)ing sucks that we have to start thinking about the draft in December tho.

Kaapo Kakko would make this entire season worth it. Some people are comparing him to Liane.

That person forgets that the whole compensation thing went out after the Torts for a 2nd I believe it was.

And I doubt Chicago would say you can't talk to him instead of getting out of the money owed.

Could have a better all-around game than Laine.

Yeah, was going to add that he's viewed as more of a playmaker and seems more comitted to playing defense. Would be thrilled to land him.

I found it funny because you know he is going down the Flyers roster looking for which player he likes as if it is a delivery menu

No doubt. But I think Chicago will be happy not owing the 6 million for a guy who's skiing

Well you know if the flyers have the worst record even by far at the end of the year that they will pick second.

Other reporters had already said Hak was getting fired, so you don't need to waste time coming up with elaborate what-ifs.
- Feanor


As soon as Hextall was fired everyone knew that Hakstol would be next. The media whores and their rumor mongering in their quest to be first over the weekend was disgusting.

Or worse, they get the 1st overall and take Kakko and Hughes becomes that franchise player.

or maybe we'll lose 1st overall and be stuck with the JVR while the other team gets Kane
