Fizz Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Now that Bruce Cassidy is off the table what are the odds Fletcher pi$$es around till all the good HCs are snapped up and the Flyers are stuck with yet another sub-par coach? I put the odds pretty damn high....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the odds pretty damn high....... I'd almost rather it to the sub-par coach people seem to want them to grab quickly. Like the one that won a cup like 18 years ago but recently had good players fleeing from his last team. Edited June 14, 2022 by ruxpin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) I feel pretty comfortable saying once the Stanley Cup is awarded the coaching dominoes will fall pretty quickly, there are an abundance of good coaches available. I think the Flyers will hire one of them. I don't think the waiting is team based but more on the mores of the league which frowns on making news during the finals Sorry I don't think it's incompetence, I think it's manners Edited June 15, 2022 by mojo1917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I think Trotz is the domino. Vegas is off the table, he will decide soon, then Torts will take over the Flyers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas is off the table, he will decide soon, then Torts will take over the Flyers I still say the only way Trotz coaches the Flyers, is if he's made GM, as well. I hope I'm wrong. If he is only given head coaching responsibilities, he might end up quitting fairly quickly, working under Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Of course its Tortsie. Who else would a completely inept management team who still thinks it's 1980 hire? Hopefully Homer/Fletcher and Tortorellis sons figure out the NHL has changed, cause they'll likely be the next management. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Well I'm just glad it wasn't Tocchet. Look at it this way, maybe Torts rights the ship and all is well. If he fails, well at least it won't be boring. The pressers alone will be worth the price of admission. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyer4ever Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Trotz turned down $7 mil per. Says a lot about the dysfunction in Chuckie junction. Tort signed for 4 per for 4 years. When do you think he starts to regret it.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loves to coach and he will love taking this on. Giving him 4 years also tells me they will in fact at least try to commit to his philosophy. He's not a temp. I think it'll work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not reading too much into Trotz not wanting to coach the Flyers The team isn't in a great spot to win championships that is certain. He doesn't seem to want to be a part of building something again. There are better situations for a guy that wants to win now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
