Philadelphia Flyers
Several candidates have emerged in reports and there are others out there that at least have warranted speculation. Here are eight names that could be mentioned as possibilities for the open GM job with the Flyers.
If anything was indicative in this game, it’s that the Flyers certainly know that a lot of change could lie in store, but the results aren’t going to change without max effort.
The Senators struck for three goals in 5:29 to turn the tables and take a 4-3 win from the Flyers on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center.
Tuesday’s game will have a different vibe after Ron Hextall was dismissed as GM on Monday, but the Flyers have a game to play against the Ottawa Senators with two points on the line. Game time is 7 p.m.
There weren’t many answers at Tuesday’s press conference with Paul Holmgren and Dave Scott regarding the decision to dismiss Ron Hextall. But one thing was clear: Hextall would not waver from his plan, and it cost him his job.
Speculation was that Dave Hakstol would exit as Flyers head coach before Ron Hextall lost his job as GM. With a new GM search underway, it would seem the coaching staff has numbered days.
Patience is not something typically associated with the Philadelphia Flyers. Ron Hextall’s process to building a contender required patience. It ultimately ran out and it cost Hextall his job.
Big news from the Flyers on Monday as Ron Hextall is fired as GM. The guys talk about the move, whether it is the right decision, whether there is more to come and where the team goes from here.
The reaction to the Flyers dismissal of Ron Hextall as GM was similar around the locker room. This was a shocking change.
The Flyers finally made a move on Monday after another slow start to the season and two embarrassing losses in the same week. It was certainly shocking when it was GM Ron Hextall on the way out. A move was necessary, but was this the right one for the Flyers?
