Speaking to NBC Sports Philadelphia, Tortorella expressed his displeasure at comments made about the Flyers acquiring defenceman Tony DeAngelo and missing out on free agent star Johnny Gaudreau.

"I've got to see the players play. I know you're talking about free agency; I know that Chuck has been criticized through the free agent time here," Tortorella said. "I'm a little pissed off about some of the things said about a couple of the players and Tony DeAngelo, at least some of the things I've read. I haven't read them all, I don't spend my day trying to listen to everybody, what they're talking about.

"But everybody's upset about Johnny G, that Johnny G wasn't signed. Any general manager would be interested in a guy like that and I'm sure Chuck was. But there's sometimes the lay of the land, where your contracts are at, where your cap's at and where your team's at, quite honestly. Is it time to sign a free agent like that? I think we have a little bit of building to do here and a little bit of growing."
