It was reported a teammate (maybe Kreider) punched him in the face this year. That doesn’t happen for no reason.

He was racist to Russian teammates apparently. Are you forget it’s our best d man is Russian?

He also got suspended in juniors for a racist slur. He's just not a good character guy at all.

A terrible Rangers team sent him home. That should tell you something.

Drury could have chosen to wipe the slate clean for Tony D when he took over but opted against it. That should tell you all you need to know about how loved that guy is over there.

or maybe the ownership said no go. See what marc stall and others have said about him. Love Tony D

Hopefully he ends up on the Flyers seeing how man people despise him. Will make for entertainment.

Seattle hires Hakstol. 🤡

Should change his name to Krakstol.

Maybe all the hockey minds in Toronto and Seattle and the Canadian National Team are just idiots?

It surprises me and it doesn't. Hakstol is a really good hockey coach. He just need to learn the NHL. Spent a couple of years as an assistant and is now getting another shot at it. Good for him.

We'll see. I suspect he'll have a better roster in Seattle than he did in Philly.

Prayers go out to the victims and the families in the building collapse in Florida. 51 remain missing. Hope that there are survivors and they can be rescued.

The Flyers have $13M in cap space currently according to cap friendly, and it looks more and more likely JVR gets selected by Seattle in ED, thus this give the Flyers $20M to work this off season. They have to give new contracts to Hart (projected $2.75M) and Sanheim (projected $3M) since they are RFAs, so that gives the Flyers about $14M to spend, before even potentially trading Ghost and others. This means the Flyers can sign a few FAs. Three FAs that are projected to make about $4M per are Saad, Adam Larsson and David Savard. I think all 3 would be very good additions to this team, and fill a few holes around speed and toughness. They should still then have enough to sign a veteran backup goalie. I would be happy with this result.

Yes, definitely happy for him, he seemed like a nice guy, just as you said clueless on how to coach in the NHL. To his credit he got into a coaching development program one summer after he got fired and has been an assistant in Toronto, so maybe he is truly ready for the job.

What is it looks more and more likely that JVR gets selected by Seattle in the expansion draft based on ?

The flat cap may keep salaries down but if they're going to play for 4M why will they choose the Flyers?

If Larsson and Savard are signed and Gostisbehere is traded then the Flyers have an issue with the PP.

It's an expansion team. Expectations will be low. Vegas was an anomaly. Hakstol makes a little sense to start with.

took a very mediocre team to the playoffs several times. Wonder if he hires Gord Murphy.
- hello it's me 2050


Hak didn't hire any assistant coaches, unless a few weeks with Rick Wilson (after Murph was fired a day after Hexy) counts. Nearly hired another previously but it didn't work out. All of Hak's assistants here were selected by Hexy.
