I agree about the firing. As for the hiring, show him the $$$. The green poultice cures a lot of ills (bad management, talent deficits, poor medical staff, bad development program, idiot former players wandering around).

Aren’t they still paying AV $5 mil/year. Might not be in the budget

TrotZ could be hired by the Flyers.

Montgomery?

Has he dried up 🍻 🍸 ?

Why is that?
- Glak18

I dunno why, I just wouldn’t want a woman coaching the Flyers. I don’t want Torts either if that helps.

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.

This team is terrible defensively but long term, I don't want a defensive first coach.

Too distracting?

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.
- MJL

They have the pieces but they have yet to put it together. I'd like to have a Hughes om our team.. and a Hamilton

Trotz is not coming here. Why would he have any interest in a rebuild where there are nothing but mediocre young players. He will have his pick of a spot.. NJ...VEGAS..DETROIT... and probably Toronto after they get bounced in 1sr Rd again.

Then again, wouldn’t he love to be the man responsible for bringing a once proud franchise back from the brink in to a champion? That’s a legacy! Depends on where he I guess. A top 6 pick to make his own this year and a fan base just waiting for a plan!

Agree on all of that but if I was Trotz, I wouldn't want to work under Fletcher.

So any preference on HC candidates?

I really like what I read about that Gronberg guy. Out of the "retreads" though, Trotz is clearly the head of the class.

I agree on both points. In the end though, you know we'll just wind up with someone like Rick Tocchet.

so you like a guy who has a .0001% chance. How about someone who is realistic.

Lol, didn’t realize how that came out!

100% honest question.

Which one are you referring to as unrealistic? I am assuming Gronborg?

I read the Devils contacted him back in 2020. But ZSC stated plainly they would not release him from his contract. His contract is now up if I read correctly. So you never know.

Come on man you know that is not the flyers way. I would bet my left nut they wouldn't even interview him.

I could surely see them contacting him. Now if you want to bet your left nut he isn't hired, then sure that is a good bet.
