Then after running him into the ground, he has the arrogance to bench him.

Yaaaaa....you're not getting anyone running the Flyers doing THAT!

Of course if you rebuild, you have to have good management to do the rebuild. But if you don't have good management, rebuilding or not just gets you where we've been for decades....cupless. And I can easily say I'd rather have Connor McDavid on my team than everyone the Flyers have drafted over the last decade. They wouldn't win a cup, but at least you get to watch the best player in the world. Even with the horrible start to the season they're still sitting 9th overall....and their management clearly aren't geniuses, but they also drafted Draisaitl. They got 2 players scoring over 100 points, an 82 point defenceman, another scoring 50 goals...how do the Flyers add up...lets see, it takes our top 3 scorers to outscore McDavid, Sanheim has half as many points as Bouchard, and our top goal scorer was 21 behind Hyman. “Coaches don’t have a crystal ball to know what a player is going to be later in the year” Torts on Couturier & load management How about NOT running a guy coming off a long term injury right into the ground?

At least they're letting the guy they traded their 5th overall for fully recover before sending him back out there to maybe make the playoffs in a rebuild.

Ya, this isn't the first time I said they should have taken Jiricek. I don't put this on Briere, this is on Fletcher. As usual.

No, he was available at the draft instead of Gauthier.

Yes, he had an injury. The thing was he was rated right around where Philly picked. Philly needed a #1 defenceman and a #1 centre...so Fletcher took a winger. two drafts later, and Philly needs a #1 defenceman and a #1 centre.

Other than the one taken one pick after Fletcher drafted Gauthier.

It kinda sucked, though he doesn't sound like the kind of guy you can count on does he? As for the top prospect, he's not even Phillys top prospect. And I'd have traded him in a heartbeat for Celebrini.

LMFAO! Well said...I gotta admit, almost everyone I couldn't stand from Fletchers Failures is gone. There's still a few to go, but presently, even though they aren't very talented, at least the team isn't build around players that only an idiot would build around. Have I mentioned I think Fletcher was an idiot? I may have touched on it.

FIFY

This is how any team would treat their top defenceman, right? Right? First you want to bench him in his hometown in front of his family, then lie and say you didn't know that's where he was from. Then do this. Great coaching tactics.

I always liked him as a player. He wasn't physical at all, but he got his stick on a lot of pucks and had a heck of a shot.

Just Torts Tortin'.

I think so...I think wins is the first tie breaker.
