from Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now,
The Flyers’ management team is at the bottom of the 32-team NHL.
The Athletic on Thursday ranked fans’ confidence levels in the front office; the Flyers were last, based on input from fans.
Philly had the fourth-highest entries (1,000), showing that its fans wanted to be heard.
The Flyers, with GM Chuck Fletcher running the show, were plagued by injuries as they had the second-worst record in franchise history last season.
And then came the team’s summer of discontent — after management had promised an “aggressive retool” months earlier.
No Johnny Gaudreau, a gifted free agent who wanted to play here. No trade for Alex DeBrincat, the left winger who would have been the ideal player to build around.
No significant moves to clear cap space and change a faceless team.
So fans vented in the Athletic poll.
