We all know Dave Hakstol. I don't think that it's important for me to tell you who he is, but I'll do it. He was the Flyers head coach between 2015 and 2018, and even if the team had some great moments with him behind the bench, things didn't end well, as he was fired in the middle of the 2018-19 campaign.
The 53-year-old coach is now the leader behind the Seattle Kraken bench, and he could have done his old team a favor. The Kraken, who are 3 points behind the Flyers in the standings, were playing against the Los Angeles Kings last night.
With a win, the Kraken would have been only 1 point behind the Flyers with a game in hand. Why is it important? For the Draft Lottery odds, of course!
