Hextall hasn't made any bad "band aid rental " trades yet. That is a good sign. He's done a nice job assembling a good core. The goaltending and defense pool is very deep. Hopefully there are some jewels. Provorov no doubt looks like hes got the potential to be a top pairing guy.

Hextall hasn't been good so far in the FA market. Hopefully he gets better there.

He hasn't but thankfully there hasn't been any high ticket long term signings. and he did a good job of ridding the team of contracts like Pronger and Vinny. No GM is perfect but I am optimistic about Hextall

I dont think its possible to hit homeruns in the draft and free agency in the same year.
I would rather he has 3-4 years of really good drafts then comes out with a good free agency year.

I agree with you there.

FA is dying if it hasn't died already. Trades and draft are the future which in essence, makes Holmgren the towel boy?

Hmm, ok

The coach is always right, his lineup decisions are perfect and hell, no one around here should ever second guess him. Thank God we have you to show us all the error of our ways. Every hockey site should be as blessed to have someone who is always right and knows everything. Thank you so very, very much.

Maybe it's sick but I'd put them all on blood thinners. Extra PPs.

Kelly was 26-21 with the Eagles. That isn't terrible.

Flyers just traded for Kubina. He looks alright but something tells me he won't keep it up.

he was given massively talented rosters and did (frank) all with them and completely ruined the team by the end of his tenure
his 2-14 season just shows how terrible of a coach he is
