Should have never put him as HC in the first place. He's shown with the Blues and the Wild he is not even close to head coach quality.

 

[Field of Dreams]

Nobody could see this one coming

 

[Ace]

I don’t know what the record is for most head coaches played under in a career but I am certain Ristolainen will shatter it.

 

[stl76]

Best move the flyers org has made in a while TBH.

 

[Danko]

He mentioned torterella, Maurice, torchetti

Kevin weekes seems to be that one old man who always has the camera flipped to himself accidentally and records himself without knowing. But weekes is choosing these terrible angles intentionally, impressive, old timer.

How does Mike Yeo keep getting work?

Ge probably has incriminating photos of GMs until they realize they are horribly photoshopped and they laugh him out of the building.

 

[TheHudlinator]

The fact they moved on to Yeo was a troubling sign. Get a real GM then worry about the coach

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Congrats Philly fans. Can only go up from here.

i am reserving that for when they get rid of Chuck

Have you seen our GM? Plenty of room to go lower.

 

[Rcknrollkillnmachine]

Probably gets an assistant coach position at Vegas, De Boer gets fired and then works his usual magic.

Shockingly inept coach yet Jukka Jalonen and many other European coaches are ignored by the NHL.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Another one gone.

How many head coach openings is that now?

Gotta be a few more added (Dallas) once the playoffs end (Dallas), I think.

Dallas.

 

[seafoam]

Yeo-lo!

Have you seen the guy who's hiring his replacement?

 

[Thorton02]

I always hate when other teams realize their coach/gm is horrible.

Had some success as a minor league coach preaching puck possession and defense. Was promoted to a NHL club, where he did his level best to squelch and marginalize young talents such as Haula, Zucker and Nino.

PHI should be happy that Yeo secured them a very high draft pick. let's face it, the team wasn't going anywhere. Or did Fletcher trade it? He usually trades 2nds like he hates them, but maybe he has changed strats.

 

[Curufinwe]

He traded a 2022 2nd with Ghost to Arizona, then traded a 2021 1st and a 2023 2nd to Buffalo to get Risto.

As long as Fletcher is the GM the Flyers can definitely go lower. Somehow Fletcher will continue to screw things up, maybe with his screwups the Flyers will win the draft next year to draft Bedard.

I think some of it is the different games with the ice size.

GMs want to confirm they could coach the AHL etc before getting a chance in the NHL.

That's my understanding and the AHL is a pay cut.

 

[Goptor]

Moving away from him as head coach does not mean moving away from him entirely.

Fletcher probably is getting a position created somewhere with the Flyers for him.

 

[Pandaman11]

Smart play by the Flyers. He's the right coach to get a high draft pick (kinda like Blashill), but next year you want to improve

 

[Hockeyholic]

He definitely deserves to go.

That said, it's about time they move on from Holmgren, Fletcher, and Clarke. Every coaching, signing, and whatever else decision seems to blow up in their faces.

Can't think of a current team in a worse position going forward.
