Tocchet is making Torts look good by comparison and this is with Torts quitting on his own team.
Plain and simple, the Flyers are the same thing they’ve been for roughly a decade now… directionless. The plan has been business as usual, and the organization has regressed, and to think otherwise is to completely ignore the results over the past 10 years.
Jonesy came out and said the entire plan hinged on them being able to buy elite talent on the UFA market starting this year, which really wasn’t a plan at all. It’s crazy how many people refused to believe their eyes. Tocch’s going to bring in those big name UFAs who want to play only for him. ROFL.
Let’s stop calling it a rebuild because that was never the plan, it was just branding. It’s vaporware.

With the Olympic break here, the Flyers sit in a familiar spot — stuck in the middle. Not bad enough to tank, not good enough to contend.
Three years into the Briere era, I still struggle to see a clear direction. The team lacks a true top-line center, the blue line still has no legitimate #1, and the rebuild feels more like a slow stall than a true reset.
Michkov remains the most important piece of the entire timeline, and how the organization handles his development could define the next decade of Flyers hockey.
I put together a full breakdown of where the roster, rebuild, and future stand coming out of the Olympic break:
