The release of Chuck Fletcher as Flyers GM and President of Hockey Operations was a place to start, but only the first stepping stone to the bigger process that remains. It’s time for the Flyers to dive head-first into it with a new guard manning the wheel.

Well, the trade deadline is in the books, and the guys are back to look what went down. The Flyers…

After another case of organizational malpractice at the trade deadline, the choice is in the hands of the Flyers highest-appointed figures. You can accept this reality of being the laughing stock of the NHL and accept the growing distance between yourself and as loyal a fanbase as there is in sports or you can finally do something about it. Time’s yours.

Chuck Fletcher’s already underwhelming trade deadline week turned into a disastrous deadline day. The Flyers traded Zack MacEwen and Patrick Brown, but had a deal with James van Riemsdyk fall through while acquiring Brendan Lemieux and two late-round draft picks.

The Flyers are very much in a process. Chuck Fletcher admitted as much one day after John Tortorella continued his season-long message of building. Just don’t expect people to be vocal in their trust in it.

For as much scrutiny as Chuck Fletcher faces, Ron Hextall’s drafts have shown the Flyers inability to build a core that lasted well into the future. The minor trade involving Isaac Ratcliffe was further proof.

From the front office to coaches to the players, there are plenty of areas of focus regarding the Flyers. Here are some takeaways.

The guys discuss the week’s action on the ice and the comments made by both Chuck Fletcher and John Tortorella, including his first sub-60-second postgame press conference of his Flyers tenure. They also look at the near future for the team, the hesitance behind a rebuild, and how fans are much more informed and engaged in a variety of areas that they weren’t a few years ago.

John Tortorella is focused on building the Flyers from the footers, knowing that this is more than a one-year process to get it right. GM Chuck Fletcher seemed to have a different message, showing a disconnect between coaching and management.

The guys are back and the Flyers have achieved yet another 10-game losing streak, the third in the last calendar year. So what happens now? Is Chuck Fletcher on the way out? If he is, who takes over or decides on the next GM?

One day prior to the four-year anniversary of Ron Hextall’s firing as Flyers GM, chants of “Fire Fletcher” could be heard at Wells Fargo Center. Chuck Fletcher’s time should be running out, but it’s not the only change that needs to be made.

Flyers 2022 first-round pick Cutter Gauthier made the transition back to center and has shot out of a cannon ever since.

An underwhelming offseason, a new coach, and a management group on the hot seat bring about plenty of questions. Before the puck drops on the new season, let’s dive into five questions facing the Flyers this season.

Before the puck even hits the ice, the Flyers are already dealing with more than their share of injury woes.

At the end-of-season press conference, and for much of the offseason, the Flyers focus was on injured players returning healthy. The so-called plan has already backfired before the team even takes the ice for training camp.

In an interview with NHL Network Radio on Sirius XM, new Flyers head coach John Tortorella expressed that he has “major concerns” with the Flyers locker room.
