Committed a crime via this website... Yep I could see the Banhammer hitting hard.

IF he was fired for not firing Hakstol, that means someone doesn't like Hakstol so he would have to go, and soon. There is no other option IF that is the reason Hextall was fired.
- Scoob

yes IF he was fired for not firing Hakstol that would have been a very unwise decision by Hextall. Jeopardize your own job for not firing a guy that really should be the first to go, that is business is it not?

Maybe they see the Leafs throwing a lot of their talented kids in to the fire and letting them grow in the NHL.

Especially in roles that you have depth in the AHL. Instead of guys like Lehtara, Weise and Weal why aren't guys you have groomed filling those roles. I understand they tried Vorobyev but why aren't guys like Aube-Kubel, Bardreau, Vecchione playing on the 4th line or in pk roles

So I think our hope has to be that Hextall is the Hinkie of the Flyers minus the full out in your face tanking. He cleaned up the salary cap, drafted well (still to be seen), got us some assets to work with. The Flyers need to skip the Colangelo step and go right to finding the Elton Brand who can make move to make this team competitive without completely cleaning out the asset bin. Maybe we see a Butler type trade in the next year, but right now the Sixers are competing for a top spot in the east while the Flyers are asleep on their skates.

We already had Elton Brand, his name was Vinny Lecavalier.

Doesn’t believe the decision was as much about firing Hak but more so about ownership wanting other buttons pushed to improve the on ice product. Mentions Hex wanting to stay patient.


If that is true, time to find new teams. Hold me. Hold me tight.

I'm certainly not a big Hakstol guy, but could any coach win with the goaltending they've had since Hakstol took over as coach? I mean it's been a merry-go-round of journeymen.

Just playing devils advocate.

This is really something.

They'll (frank) it up.

It didn't help that he came out this offseason and said they were going to take a big step forward only to see them floundering with the same holes as last year.
- jmatchett383

Exactly.

If they happen to get Hughes...the pain could be worth it.

I don't think a situation exists where a team has more assets than they truly need. No such thing.

Sure, if your team leads their division, top team in the conference, then you’re okay with that attitude.

You see “we no longer share the same philosophical approach concerning the direction of the team.”

This is really something.

Anyone but Quenneville named as coach, and I'm going to go apepoop.
Just putting it out there so it's not Monday morning quaterbacking.

Maybe I shouldn't ask, but somewhat curious on this.

Wait so it's possible for you to get worse?

Don’t think that would happen, but you never know I guess.

I wouldn’t limit myself out of fear of some nut coming in.

In the end I probably won't, either. Just made me think.

Wat. Elton Brand is the Sixers GM now. He wasn't referring to his playing days.

Hextall got fired for EVERYTHING, not just the coaching staff. The questioning of having the right players and moves, lack thereof, to improve the team as well.

So if Quenneville doesn't want to be the Flyers coach, or doesn't want to be a coach at all and just relax for a while, that is on the Flyers? Just so we're clear here.

Thing with Q is he may not want to come. He has a chance to go to St Louis, or just sit on his ass through the holidays.

I could see it not being him. You cant force a guy to coach your organization.

I would like Quenneville.

But if they do wait until the offseason to look there are guys I had interest in. Luke Richardson did a good job in the Ottawa farm system.

But I think more of my interest is in the roster as i think you could see a guy like Voracek moved.

I def think Voracek will be dealt.

It's flippin ridiculous they make us wait until tomorrow for a presser.
