The weekend provided fodder for many different topics as the trade deadline approaches, from the Flyers acquisition of Cam Talbot, to Wayne Simmonds’ deadline fate, to signs of a possible moving on from Shayne Gostisbehere.
According to a report from Brad E. Schlossman of the Grand Forks Herald, the Flyers have hired Rick Wilson to serve as an assistant coach under Dave Hakstol.
This is the wild week that has been for the Flyers as an organization from the decision to fire Ron Hextall to the aftermath, the press conference, the information surfacing as a result of the move and the opinions of the move being right or wrong. One week after the move, as the Flyers move closer to hiring a new GM, it’s time to put a wrap on the talk about Hextall: the good, the bad and the ugly.
It’s rare for a recently fired employee to speak to the media after his dismissal, and even more unlikely after several days. But Ron Hextall spoke on Friday and offered a number of thoughts on his process, where the Flyers were, where they were going and how he feels in the days since being dismissed.
The changes keep coming. The Flyers announced that assistant GM Chris Pryor and assistant coach Gord Murphy have been fired.
Speculation was that Dave Hakstol would exit as Flyers head coach before Ron Hextall lost his job as GM. With a new GM search underway, it would seem the coaching staff has numbered days.
