John Tortorella

The release of Chuck Fletcher as Flyers GM and President of Hockey Operations was a place to start, but only the first stepping stone to the bigger process that remains. It’s time for the Flyers to dive head-first into it with a new guard manning the wheel.

Chuck Fletcher has been fired as Flyers GM and President of Hockey Operations. Danny Briere will serve as interim GM. In a statement, Dave Scott also expressed that the team will separated the GM and President of Hockey Operations roles in a new leadership structure.

The Flyers are very much in a process. Chuck Fletcher admitted as much one day after John Tortorella continued his season-long message of building. Just don’t expect people to be vocal in their trust in it.

A letter from John Tortorella to season ticket holders addressed rebuilding. Will the Flyers follow through and be committed to the process?

From the front office to coaches to the players, there are plenty of areas of focus regarding the Flyers. Here are some takeaways.

Instead of a 5-2 win that extended the Flyers stretch to eight wins in 10 games, the story is Ivan Provorov, who was absent from warmups on Tuesday only to appear on the game roster magically just minutes before puck drop. The reason was his own religious beliefs as the team celebrated Pride Night.

There were no changes to the lineup on Wednesday, but something was different on the Flyers bench. The latest John Tortorella-implemented rule: no iPads on the bench.

The emergence of Samuel Ersson has given the Flyers a good problem to have. But a decision looms on who stays with the Flyers moving forward.

Reports surfaced this week that the Flyers could start to explore the possibility of a trade involving Ivan Provorov, first discussed on the 32 Thoughts Podcast with Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek.

Samuel Ersson picked up his third straight win and made 28 saves in a 4-1 win for the Flyers over the Ducks.
