BREAKING: Looks like Laviolette staying as #Flyers' coach.

I think Carchidi just pulled a Seravalli. He took a few general comments about the season and turned it into a statement of fact by Holmgren that Lavy will be back. Holmgren said he hadn't thought about it. Doesn't mean he won't think about when the season ends. He also didn't say Laviolette will be back next year. That is the only statement for which that tweet should have been sent.
Fwiw, Meltzer tweeting the same thing:

Laviolette likely not being fired at end of this season could very well mean he IS fired early next season if team gets off to slow start
And they probably will again ..like I said come Dec Holmgren will be scramblin for a replacement and the good candidates will already be picked off and I bet one of them wins coach of the year!
So if true this means odds are Terry Murray will be our coach by December next year?

And Hextall will probably be GM. I didn't think Holmgren would tie his fate to Laviolette.
Get ready for some boring, defensive hockey if Terry Murray comes in. Of course, that seems to be what wins Stanley Cups.
its not Holmgren's call. Holmgren didn't want to fire John Stevens either and look how that ended. If Snider is pissed off enough Holmgren's job could be in jeopardy as well.

Or even worse, they just plan on bringing Murray up instead of searching
You mean in the beginning of the season? Because, by Dec he was ready to pick up Stevens by the scruff of his neck and jettison him out the door. I remember how resolute he was but of course almost too late. He lucked out with Lavi and even Lavi didn't pan out except for when G and Boosh salvaged the team from not being in the playoffs.
Why the hell would we keep Lavy at this point?

The system that took them to Game 6 of the Finals didn't suddenly stopped working. They've gone backwards the last two offseasons.
