Pryor has been pretty integral in drafting and development over the years. So that seems like a pretty big mistake.

Who have they actually drafted and developed at this point?

Depending on your definition of "developed", there's Patrick, Hart, Konecny, Provorov, Sanheim, Hagg, Morin, Lindblom, Sandstrom, Aube-Kubel and Goulbourne (and potentially Rubtsov and Frost)

He is really butt hurt over Hextalls firing

I'd say this is a pretty fair question despite the names Ed has reeled off. I'd probably respond by saying Hextall has brought a lot of guys on far too slowly, and once they are here, they're working with a subpar coaching staff, a staff that just saw a firing, has the league-worst PK for years and does nothing about it (Lappy), and a coach who seems over his head in Hakstol. But I think Pryor, for the most part, did his job well here.

Hope we bring back Jagr soon

Is it a sign he really was under Hextall's thumb?

I guess that could be true as well

To me, that's 1 really good player, 1 good goalie prospect and a lot of 2nd tier guys.

The Flyers prospect pool is vastly overrated IMO.

So why did they fire Hextall again? Because he wouldn’t fire gord Murphy?

prob because he didn't improve the team in five years.

Fuck I’m in agreement with brannt. How many of those guys are 1st rounders, several of which were high first rounders and theoretically less of a developmental curve?

@DarrenDreger: Chuck Fletcher and Paul Holmgren meeting today. Sounds like it’s Fletcher’s job to lose. Goalie and center will be among priority adds for the new GM when named.

Terrible.

Absolutely awful.

Can't go wrong with a Chuck... what goalie are we gonna add, just call Hart up and let him learn

Least surprising news ever

Fuck Chetcher

This is a Brian Colangelo hire. Dude even has the famous former executive Dad in Cliff Fletcher.

Get Nylander and a healthy Neuvirth/Elliot level goalie and now we’re talking 8 seed.

Scott Darling is available. He has 2.5 years left on his deal at 4 Million per, so hopefully Holmgren doesn't claim him.

Arizona claimed Pickard. Thanks Yotes

@BroadStBull
Source: #Flyers will not name GM until Wed. at the earliest. Still more people to interview. Chuck Fletcher the leader in the clubhouse. Stay tuned.
