Dave Scott is the boss is he not. He would be the guy to fire Fletcher would he not. Fletcher won't fire himself.

He might not have a hockey backround. But he is the boss and he was right there at the presser saying they need to be aggressive.

The Florida Panthers have signed F Colin White to a 1-year, $1.2m contract

A lot was expected of him, but he had his good year playing with Mark Stone

Fletcher is failing at every turn. If hi boss gave him an agenda he has failed at executing it.

When he needs to change it up, he goes to a photo of Zac MacEwen.

At least for UFA day he hasn't failed...he hasn't done anything and that's a win

As much I would like to see the Flyers make moves, I’d rather them just fly low.

If we didn’t announce a “retool”, if they didn’t trade for Tony DeAngelo, I’d want them to do nothing. Now I just wanna see how many buildings they can drill this train through.

I wonder how much Mason Marchment is looking for, he could be a sneaky good pickup for a team the way he uses his size.

Brutally.

Dave Scott is also looking like a clown too. If you wanted to have a legacy of being the guy to get the Flyers a cup he is no where close.

I think MJL is right in that they need a complete FO overhaul. Bring in someone from one of the teams that really draft and develop players(Tampa, Nashville) and tear this down

The trade for DeAngelo and subsequent signing of him confused me. Why do anything if you plan on doing nothing?

Even if we are dead last in the league at the end of the year, there is no chance the NHL allows the Flyers to pick 1st. Will never happen.

You think that was just good team magic? Maybe he learned from his Leafs days

Guy is good, he'll just probably sign for too much, for too long, and his new team will expect way too much out of him.

Briere hartnell Leino was probably one of the coolest lines we’ve had

Press release from the Flyers

"We were in on several players but a couple of Comcast cell towers went down and we lost cell signal. An internal investigation is underway. May have been an inside job.

It was just a quick response to probably hearing news about Ellis in some way.

I don't care what anyone says, the Flyers knew there were issues with Patrick way before camp. Signing Hayes was not just a way to bring him in slowly.

It's funny how Fletcher is going to start next season with a worse roster then the previous year. While pissing off those who want to tank, and those who wanted him to be aggressive. Whatever the guy touches turns to poop.

I thought he looked good on Florida, during the year and playoffs, and not just riding coattails

The reason they did announce a “retool” and trade for TAD is because they were the 4th worst team in the NHL. They sucked….they were embarrassing. They simply aren’t going to simply get better with wishes and fairy dust. When one of the best wingers in the NHL picks you as his destination and your too incompetent to figure out a way to make it work then you really shouldn’t be in charge. It’s not like they were trading guys from a top NHL team….the team blows.!!!
