IF Tocchet is the HC, I wonder who they convinced him would be his #1 goaltender. I find it hard to believe a HC, who at his age is probably his last stop would be satisfied rolling with Ersson as his #1 heading into his first season.
creatures of habit. losing tam wants a loser coach. perfect combo
Dreger now reporting Tocchet likely to land a HC job now. Flyers, SEA, and BOS the likely contenders. As a Flyers fan at the present moment, BOS is closer to competing then the Flyers. McVoy, Pastranak, and Swayman is a foundation the Flyers currently do not have, just the reality. We’ll see if the Flyers just outbid everyone.
I still would be surprised if Shaw gets the job. He was the “good cop” to Torts, I just believe for this job, that is a non-starter. Not a surprise Tocchet has limited interest in this job, apparently. The good friends with Jonesy was over blown. Not doubt there is a friendship, but Tocchet is 61 and if he accepts another HC position, it will probably be his last. Taking a job from a top 5 worst record in the league, made little sense.
don’t understand where tocchet gets all this hype. he has done absolutely nothing in 9 years as a head coach. why would a “winning” team want him?
him turning the flyers down would be 100% fn hilarious as what a bad look for the GS.
I wonder if they are looking at an assistant on a current playoff team. Maybe Bill can shed some light. otherwise seems a long time to not have a coach in place at his time. Wonder if there is a domino effect waiting to happen once one goes the other will follow.

Flyers have the pieces to be competitive but they don’t have the elite talent like Rantanen to take over games and series
whoever coaches this team is in a losing preposition. hire lappy and finish low, despite that not being the plan. flyers lack the talent for whoever the coach to matter much. though would prefer a modern in tune type coach. If Ferschweiler gets hired he clearly wanted the bag of cash. which cant blame anyone.
lappy or shaw my be one of the few coaches who would want the job. So the flyers may not have much of a choice.
This may be true. This team is still far enough away that there is a good chance that whoever gets the job now will just be setting up the next coach in line to reap the benefits. The team may be selling that they are ready to take the next step, and they may even believe that. The problem is most people outside the organization probably don’t see it that way.
