[Crescent Street]

Has anyone connected to the Flyers twittersphere commented on this chart yet? I mean this should be used to reply to every single Flyers official tweet from here on out. Put it out there for every one to see.

Definitely in favor, and I would frame your post as "The NHL has a cronyism crisis - here is the example from the Flyers."

Alan Douglas Hill is the one that always makes me chuckle. Hiding like mold behind drywall.

Pro scout at the age of 67. With Flyers in that role since 1997. Played his first game for the Flyers in 1977.

Jobs retained on merit. Learn their names, know their faces.

You best be posting a link when you do.

 

[Hanover Fist]

That was Jeff Reese I think.

Yes your are correct

 

[Beef Invictus]

Well I can't find any indication that Stewart isn't still with the Flyers.

I couldn't either

I remember when Lemelin seemed to have a job for life with the Flyers as goalie coach. Finally Holmgren let him go and I remember Lemelin being absolutely shocked. Can't blame his reaction considering the patronage the Flyers bestow...

I always wonder what a mess it would be if a new GM came in here and had the balls to try and fire the 4 wise men “scouts” aka Homer, Clarke, Barber, Lombardi.

I imagine it would be a huge shit show with tons of pushback from the entitled brats. And ownership would eventually get involved because these jackasses won’t go down without a fight.

I don't see Jody Shelly anywhere?!?!

I'm really looking forward to it. It's a shame it'll never happen and we have to suffer indefinitely as they further ruin the team.

Hit up my gofundme, and ownership will be the one firing them.

This needs more eyes than just the echo chamber in this team forum. Post this everywhere.

9/10 dentists agree.

However, the dentist adjacent author isn’t ready yet.

Please, share the link when you post this somewhere.

I'm going to put it on the main boards either today or tomorrow now that I'm enjoying my off week. Night shift probs.

Jason Smith is is technically an outsider in terms of coaching/management because he spent his post-career in Ottawa, but it's just so unsurprising that they had to go with somebody they have an existing connection to.

Still counts as a crony. If you fit on this chart, you're a crony

OFFICIAL, albeit incomplete. There is no way to fully encapsulate the extent of this cancer, and it deserves to be known by all. Big props to Hanrahan who, from what I could gather, basically worked his way up. Good job.

(chart)

Just the tip of the horseshit iceberg in what is becoming the NHL's biggest joke of a franchise. This is the result of salary cap implementation, where value can't be bought in FA but must be pried out of the margins. In other words, you have to be smart. These cronies are not, but year after year more are packed into hockey ops. In fact, they're unable to identify the valuable attributes that drive success in the NHL and many hold positions based on camaraderie, not merit. The archaic hockey views that permeate the organization prohibit any optimism until literally everything changes.
