Fletcher press conference on now

-- "Disappointed" to see Quenneville sign with Florida
-- Need to get better defensively, says our d-men are younger than most of the playoff teams
-- Looking for a backup goalie, vet d-man and another scorer in FA/trade
-- Thinks Patrick has lots of great qualities, just needs to mature, get faster and work on his shot to become the #2 center
-- Anyone on the team is available, but it would take a ridiculous offer to move Giroux or Hart
-- Wants to get offers out to the RFAs sooner than later
-- Relatively healthy group going into the summer, doesn't expect any major surgeries
-- Doesn't think it's an elite free agency market
-- Says the top half of the draft has a lot of great prospects, looks like a good year for goalies

Felix Sandstrom finally joined the Phantoms

well it's not as if the head coaching job has been open for five months or anything like that where you could have tried to hire him

He didn't want to take a job mid season.

Except during the press conference he said something along the lines of, “Our season ended 48 hours ago and our search starts now.” Why didn’t it start 48 hours ago at the very least

Beside bringing Gordon back, what are the HC options now that Joel is off the table?

I've heard Dave Tippett (former Coyotes and Stars coach) and Sheldon Keefe (Toronto AHL coach). Also, Bruce Boudreau if Minnesota lets him go.

Dale Tallon sounds like Dave Tippett.

lol yes

Impressive move by Dale Tallon to hire Quenneville as his coach then quit as GM and look for a coaching job himself

In all seriousness I'd be fine with Tippett. It's sort of what I'd expect from someone like Fletcher, look for the relatively conservative veteran NHL coach after the Hakstol experiment. I doubt they're going to go with Knoblauch.

I just want them to hire a guy who will let Holmgren and his retired player pals hang out in the locker room.

NHL draft lottery tonight at 8pm on NBCSN. Flyers have a 3.5% chance at #1 and Jack Hughes. They have an 11.4% chance at a top 3 pick. Kaapo Kakko is the consensus #2 pick and there's a big drop off to #3. I'm feeling lucky tonight.

This moron apparently has his own show on 97.3. Claims that Giroux is the problem and that the team should "rip the "C" off his jersey."
