Flyers Management is Now Clashing Over Recent Issue
Throughout the years, the Philadelphia Flyers have retained former general managers and head coaches in their brain trust, including Bob Clark, Paul Holmgren, and Bill Barber, who have provided valuable advice and decision-making to lead the team. However, according to Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Comcast CEO Dave Scott did not consult with these individuals when he fired former general manager Chuck Fletcher and hired Daniel Briere as interim general manager.
Hayes notes that this decision likely would not have been approved by the brain trust, but as CEO of Comcast and the team's owner, Scott and his shareholders may not have felt the need to seek their input. Interestingly, Hayes also suggests that Briere himself may be considered an outsider within the brain trust, despite serving as assistant to Fletcher for over a year.
The apparent disregard for the opinions of the brain trust may indicate that their relevance within the organization is waning, and their jobs may be at risk as the team continues to restructure its management core. The hiring of the next president of hockey operations will be a crucial turning point for the Flyers, and it's possible that the team will look outside the organization for a fresh perspective.
As the Flyers move forward, it's clear that they need to break away from their past failures and embrace the modern era of the NHL. Only time will tell how this management shake-up will impact the team's future success.
