Think he sees the potential of Detroit and Jersey? Vegas is more his speed at this time imo.
- hello it's me 2050

I can't argue against this. There are better teams out there but who knows what Trotz is looking for, thiugh. Vegas is built much better than this team currently is. New jersey is about on par with where we are, TBH. Detroit could be appealing just bc of the history of the team... Plus they have better young talent than we do

I guess as usual flyers fans are left holding hope onto a fart and a prayer

Bill mentioned it before...EVERY coach wants to turn a team around, that's legacy right there. Not many want to just slide into an already built situation.

Have to consider the front office too. Is Trotz sold on this front office making the right moves? I wouldn’t be.

Mentioning Vegas as a destination for Trotz makes sense. So DeBoer becomes available, wouldn't he become the best retread HC available?

New Jersey is significantly ahead of the Flyers. Their young player are better and they have a potential star in Hughes. Not to mention a much better cap situation.

Do you have someone in mind?

No one in mind, just throwing that out there. I mean large corporations do like BIG PR moves.

Montgomery?

Not opposed to Montgomery, but I do believe has the better resume. FWIW, I want a HC with a defensive pedigree. This team just bleeds high danger chances at a high rate. Trotz or Montgomery would be my top choices.

Oh this fan base is much dumber than I often realize. I’ve got some dude on instagram thinking the current roster is to blame, not the GM who put the roster together

The new coach should treat the Flyers like an expansion team the first year.

Now that got me thinking, who are the Chucky players on this team?

Atkinson, Ristolainen, Ellis, Tippett, Brown, MacEwen...who am I missing?

Back to drafting- I want Slafkovsky.. big, shot, good skating skills IIRC from watching his olympic performance. He will finish and create space for himself as well. More like a modern day Jagr though more nimble feet.

Funny thing, a teammate on the Slovak team was Michal Cajkovsky who was playing in Reading a few years ago just after his junior career ended. He was another skilled player who had size skills and a monster shot from the point as he showed in the Olympics. Met him when he was with the Royals, had some interesting ink on his arms..


Oh yeah Trotz in a heartbeat

Yep. A few of his blunders are no longer on the roster (Yandle, Seeler, etc)
There also might be a few omissions that he failed to achieve, although, it's much harder
