hf101 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Jokes aside......Who would you like to have in the organization as Hextall's Assistant GM? Who do you think Hextall might choose? I'd have to assume that position would have to have some history with the Flyers. Forsberg? - currently I think he is the GM for Modo.

Bertmega Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Mike Keenan? I know he is coaching somewhere in the world, but if he can keep his attitude in check, he may be a good mind to help a new GM. Maybe Trotz, but I am not too sure how he is on the business end of things. Our luck, it will be some recycled player: Primeau, LeClair, or LOL Boucher. Could you imagine two former goalies running the front office?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Pierre 'Regis' McGuire. He could remind Hexy what town every player is from, who has active sticks and big body presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Clueless Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Typically I would be useless in a thread that starts out with "jokes aside", but in this case I think I'll throw my hat in the ring for Jay Feaster. He may not be a former Flyer, but he's from the area-ish, right? I think he'd fit in well as an AssMan. Just don't let him make the decisions. If I had a recommendation, I'd say Glen Healy. He's got so much insight into players and, really, he deserves a chance to never be in broadcasting ever agai....I mean, a chance to put that talent to good use.

Poulin20 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Don Cherry! Oh wait you said all joking aside so I dont know. If I had to guess I would say it will be someone from the 80s flyers I am going to guess Dave Brown who is currently the director of Pro Scouting.

peter puck Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 If we are staying with flyers family members Sami Kapenan. Hexy's former ahl coach Mark Morris is available and probably ends up in the O and B fold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaGreatGazoo Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 He may not be a former Flyer, but he's from the area-ish, right? Yes. He grew up an about an hour north of Harrisburg, and was the Hershey Bears GM to start his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to throw a spanner in the works? Or just used to Leaf gms ineptitude? Either way, you're NOT getting a 2nd out of me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, you're NOT getting a 2nd out of me! No no, I was just operating under the assumption that Philly only really likes management that are either from the area or formerly played for the team, and also the assumption that I don't like Healy and want him as far away from the broadcasting booth as possible. And give me my 2nd, darn you! You know you wanna. We've been through this, by the way. The Leafs aren't inept, they just have that gypsy voodoo curse on them. Everyone knows this. It's science.

Commander Clueless Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I 2nd this post! Glen Healy it is then. Anyone who has ever had to listen to that man ever thanks you for your support. And my God have mercy on your orange and black soul. Hextall should call up Lindros. Or maybe Renberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if the Islanders would ever let that man go after all the stellar work he has done for that franchise. Pay that man his money! Maybe they should explore hiring Simon Gagne as an apology for trading him for crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Clueless Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Its got to be Pronger. I was thinking it could be Primeau but I'm not sure he is awake yet Not to be a spoilsport, but wouldn't hiring Pronger imply he retired as a hockey player and thus cost the Flyers cap space? I mean, he may make a decent AssMan, but do you really want your management staff on your cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 @Commander Clueless I would imagine Holmgren would quit within minutes if Healey were the assistant. Having to listen to that twit on a daily basis would drive one to commit murder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I would not be one bit surprised to see them using cap space for front office personnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
