    I'm not a hockey guy, but I imagine the reason nobody is talking about the coach getting fired is because the Flyers fire a coach on, pretty much, a yearly basis...no?

    doesn't matter who the coach is. roster is a mess because of the two years before hextall became GM. He's got them on the right path, just gonna take a while to get rid of some of the horrid contracts that they are stuck with.

    would be nice for the flyers to get some luck in the tonight's lottery for a change

    I need to freshen up on my Russian. Is that a Provorov article?

    I wonder if he is related to Ron Hakstol?

    interesting hire. i like that fact that Hextall isn't going for the old former Flyers and going outside the organization. Guy clearly had a ton of success in college and coached plenty of NHL-level players.

    Very strong Day 1 draft by Hextall.
    Got Provorov and a skilled forward as well.
    Now lets shed a couple of these excess D-men and I'll be ecstatic.

    Very good for you guys. Provo was who they likely wanted day 1. Konecny is exciting too

    Yes he did. After he buy out Ganger we should have close to 8 million in cap room.

    Traded it to Phoenix to help them reach the cap floor.
