The letter may be his vision, going forward. But I'm not buying that the ownership & GM are on the same agenda. It's obvious there's not enough high-level talent here, in the minors, nor any defined plan to get or develop some. And I'm not sure these players are 'all-in' on the 'retool / rebuild' plan. Because it may not happen for several more years. They're stuck in that mediocre range, just good enough to be above a good draft position but terrible enough to miss the playoffs by a lot. Torts may have them being 'harder to play against / play the right way' & all that hype for now. It will all go to waste as many of the veterans will probably be traded or released in about a month by the trade deadline.
Torts make the job of owner and DG
It will be interesting to see if the Flyers have a few games for free strategy does as much to increase season ticket sales as the team who decided to go through a rough year and gets Connor Bedard does. A few games for free or Connor Bedard tough call as to what will option will sell more tickets.
I am not a season ticket holder. I am a fan . And this is correct I do not trust chuck fletcher to take out the trash no less make the right decisions for our hockey team
If Owen Tippett can Play one Season with Sean Couturier and Play on the first PP hé score 30 goals plus easy
If JVR want Return with 2 years for 7 millions I sign the guy
Adam Ginning is a better player than Nick Seeler but maybe needs Games and more minutes
