According to Fletcher what they're lacking is gumption apparently and not you know three top line forwards, a top defensive pairing, and most of their bottom six.

it feels inevitable that Torts will drag them to a wildcard or even just not bottom 6-8 in the league and completely gently caress up their pick

well if it's true that DeBoer was a finalist for the Philly job maybe that was what was holding him back from committing to Dallas and that domino might drop fairly quickly if that's the case.. Still holding out hope for news that the Stars are going a different direction, but the word from local media is not exactly encouraging on this point. Tortorella can't do much worse in Philadelphia than Vigneault I guess..

I think maybe Fletcher is bad, but so is Clarke and seemingly the rest of the executive team that haven't left the 70s.

Torts is Therrien 2.0, he's great for the first half of a rebuild, quickly turning a terrible team into an averageish team, by which point the players hate him and tune him out. Then you need to fire him and get a different coach to go the rest of the way. It kinda makes sense. Either they'll get Jackets Torts and be back to losing in the first round of the playoffs within a year or two, or they'll get Canucks Torts and they'll be serious contenders in the Bedard Derby. If I were a Flyers fan I'd be afraid of the former outcome. I like Torts way better than DeBoer for their situation anyway. e: all that said, this works better if your team is mostly young unproven players, not if it's mostly overpaid underachieving veterans

There is no coach that's going to get this team past the first round. Like the Leafs, they're stuck where they are until the entire front office is blown up and rebooted from scratch.
