Check out some of the gems that went after the clowns he resided over drafting. Nieuwendyk, Lidstrom , Federov to name 3). When you're living in a glass house don't throw stones.
Clarke was a GM for 18 years.. thats enough time put in for some mistakes to happen.. Hextall didn't spend near enough time as a GM to rack up the amount of "stiffs" that he did
@@Morpheen999 To tell the truth I focused more on his first go round as GM than the second. He left a lot of money on the table with some first round gaffes. I imagine many GM’s do (see Bruins in 2015 for one). I don’t blame him entirely for the Lindross mess as I suspect Snider was driving the train on that one.
Flyers organization is so weak top to bottom!!! Who are these clowns? Go bigger, hard to play against, physical, bruising team. Build defense first bruising. Get rid of these undersized squids. They're so pathetic!!
As a GM, Ron Hextall was a 180 degree opposite of what he was as a feisty, take risks, in your face, hack the forwards blocking his view battler of a goaltender.
There should be more context why Patrick was likely selected over Makar. Patrick was supposed to go 1st overall, but due to injury in his draft year he missed a lot of time and then Nico Hishier had a great year in Halifax and in the world juniors. Devils surprised everyone and picked Hischier. Flyers scouts likely were thinking Makar because they never thought Patrick would be available. Now the supposed best player becomes available, you're going to take him. Even Dallas passed on Makar with the next pick (granted it's Heiskanen but Makar still is better). It's so difficult to project how a 17 or 18 year old will pan out. I think this speaks more about Flyers development of prospects than it does drafting.
If you track back to what a complete mess the Flyers were in talent wise, prospect wise and cap wise when Hextall first arrived he did an incredible job re-building that team. Two years ago (a year after Hextall left) Philly had the defacto best record in the regular season with talent on the rise, picks galore and finally, a good young goalie in the system. Hextall was fired over THREE years ago and Clarke is blaming him for the current team and for not drafting Makar? Will he be blaming Hextall in 10 years too? The only reason Philly even had a shot at Makar was that they won the draft lottery (good luck) and the main reason Patrick hasn't developed is injuries (bad luck). You can't blame a GM for things beyond his control. Bobby Clarke is the perfect example of a former hockey playing blockhead who benefits from the old boys club and wouldn't be able to find work on a Junior B team had he not been a great NHL player.
I find it galling that he publicly blasted Hextall the way he has, instead of keeping their disagreements in house. But that's Clarke, I suppose. If NONE of the scouts wanted Nolan Patrick as he (Clarke) said, then why didn't Clarke intervene, sit down with everyone, and arrive at a consensus amongst the group.
Hextall looked like a genius because he got rid of some bad contracts and because he focused on a draft first mentality, which honestly, given the cap situation the Flyers where in, was the only viable option, nothing new or revolutionary about it. His draft picks, with few exceptions, where not outstanding, injuries or not. He had the guts to choose and defend a coah like Dave Hakstol, the equivalent of a draft pick nobody believed in while in a supposedly weak draft he went all in with the consensus number two in Nolan Patrick, ignoring Makar's talent. I don't want to make comparisons with previous GMs, I'm just looking at what Hexy did to shape the Flyers future and the reality is that his foundations were average at best and if the team is far from being successful that's his responsibility too.
30 teams. It's going to come down to where players want to be and cap savings such as income tax. Tampa .. the Florida . Then Tampa cups coming to a tv screen near you
While it sucked losing Schenn, Hextall got two first rounders which turned out to be really good picks with Frost and Farabee.They are both going to be stars on this team. It is tough what the kid Nolan Patrick has gone through and not being able to stay healthy but the media kept sh*tting on him when he’s still young. Of course Bobby Clarke wouldn’t know anything about that because he traded every good young prospect that came to the Flyers while Hextall was building this team in the right direction by not trading away assets. His only real bad move was getting rid of Chief. Clarke is so hell bent on the Flyers continuing the 70s tradition which is probably a big reason reason the Flyers haven’t won a Stanley Cup for so long. It’s going to be hilarious when Hextall wins a Stanley Cup for the Pens after these sh*tbags got rid of him for being patient and drafting good young players.
Being committed to the draft and assets is fine if you know what you're doing. Hextall didn't. I disagree with some articles that Hextall really wasn't a bad Talent Evaluator, he was just stubborn and didn't listen to his s Scouts. No he was both Stubborn and a bad Talent Evaluator.
Honestly, I thought Hextall did a good job. The Flyers were in cap hell and had empty cupboards. He cleared a lot of cap space, and at one of the World Juniors, Philly had a large number of prospects playing. Patrick was the consensus #1 or #2 pick. Patrick that year had injury issues, and should have spent an extra season in junior. Hextall picked Carter Hart. When he left, he gave the Flyers a lot of chips.
I thought Clarke was just a bum boy in the Flyer organization. He had the ear of former owner Ed Snider, when those Snider and Clarke would talk bout the good old days of the 70s. Really don't know what Clarke has offered to the Flyers in past 30 years. Well at least as a Flyer executive he gets to go to games free.
You don't get to hindsight-blast ppl for missing out on Makar. I mean, even Nico Hischier hasn't panned out like a worthy 1st overall pick, so are the Devils blasting their scouts for NOT picking Heiskanen or Makar...?
To be fair unless someone is on the level of mcdavid, Crosby etc not sure why you’d draft anyone that missed so much time in junior and was clearly injury prone
Like Clarke ever put together a winning formula The dude was a meat head Not to mention he Fired his head coach because he got cancer and literally said word for word “We didn’t tell him to get cancer” Hands downs the biggest meat head ever in hockey
@@rolandkennedy80 made it to the finals So He was the first loser? No body cares about finishing second Can go back and forth on good trades and bad ones Every person has that on their resume Clarke acts like he is a saint and the brains That’s his problem He is far from it And he is always quick to critique others And not to repeat But the firing of a coach for cancer is the ultimate douchebag move ever So all the defending of trades or picks and all that goes out the window The cancer firing trumps it all He has no class Never did
@@tnelliott2447 Roland is likely Clarke's burner, he has defended him in tons of comments on here. Just move along. BTW everything you outlined about Roland, sorry I mean Clarke is correct.
If you’re referring to Lindros as the most highly touted prospect, that trade was made by Jay Snider and Russ Farwell. Clarke was not part of the Flyers at that point
When blues hired yeo as assistant to Hitchcock all the wild fans were like congratulations, you hired the worst coach in hockey. I was like ok whatever, fans always complain about the coach. Then blues make Yeo HC and after about 6 months I was like holy moly he really IS the worst coach in hockey lol. So now I'm going around telling all the flyers fans that yeos terrible lol. Moral of the story... Listen to Minnesota fans.
The Schenn trade wasn’t a big issue until the prospects didn’t cash in. The Flyers clearly wanted to free up a forward position for Patrick to step into. The feeling at the time was Schenn was overpaid and he was neither good enough to be a top-6 center, nor flashy enough to play wing at that kind of money. Sooooo, they traded him away for a bunch of draft picks and Lehtera. If Patrick had flourished and even just one of those other draft picks had turned into a 2nd line forward then I think the trade would be pretty forgettable.
With Clark's horrendous record as GM, he should shut up. There's an age old addage: you are better off saying nothing and having people think you are a fool, than opening your mouth and removing all doubt".
Looking back on this, we now see the REAL PROBLEM: Clarke, Holmgren and Barber. The old guard. Must. Retire. Honor the past. Live in the present. It’s BEEN TIME for Twentieth Century Hockey in Flyerland. Comcast has been the ‘silent partner’ in all this ‘ol mess.
Let's be real, Makar probably wouldn't be the player that he is if he was drafted and developed by Philly. Everytime Bobby Clarke talks about playing the right way, remember that he hacked a player's ankle, deliberately injuring him.
The GM has to Live with his decisions made under the pressure of the time everybody makes mistakes, I don't think Hextal Shy's away from mistakes he made after the fact however you had someone at the time, dealing with the problems of that time, decisions can be made to look foolish under a different time line, and all the perimiter forces in play, there are GM's still working athat have destroyed a franchise for a very long time to come, and are still employed, every person has a right to their personal opinion, their opinion, does not make me wrong, just as my opinion, does not make them wrong and everybody's opinion, is what makes hockey such a wonderful game, however the players families, might need to be taken into more consideration, than has been in the most recent past, you are not talking to one person about an issue, you are telling the world, and that might be worth weing when putting forth personal opinions! IN MY OPINION!
Clarke's comments could be to try to cover his butt with ownership, who are ready to chop heads, including Clarke's. I'm curious as to what Buffalo wanted from Philly for Reilly. I have little faith that Mike Yeo can turn things around. Team is hard to figure out. On paper, they should be better. They look disorganized and seem to have no intensity. I see a lot of moves coming at the trade deadline.
Hextall was a highly thought of GM prospect when he was with the LA Kings. Apparently his drafting left something to be desired in Philadelphia. Hextall inherited a talented team in Pittsburgh that is in salary cap hell and so far, so good. The Pens lost Jared McCann, Brandon Tanev and Cody Ceci and have done fine. Hextall's real work begins this off-season. Malkin and Letang are both 35 and at the end of their contracts. Bobby Clarke is a dufus. I hope the Flyers keep him until he assumes room temperature. The Flyers will win nothing with him. Chuck Fletcher was Ray Sheri's assistant GM in Pittsburgh. Yeo was an assistant in Pittsburgh. I was never impressed with Yeo.
Is this sour grapes. Why is this coming up now. Is it because Makar is a superstar. Could the Flyers wait 2 years for Makar. Cale stayed at UMASS for 2 years for conditioning.
I’m gonna listen to what he has to say before I comment but I just wanted to be early Edit: yeah, I agree with Clarke. You have a chance to get Ryan O’Reilly and you don’t take it? Like come on.
I think there are very few organizational systems that compliment ror's game as well as the blues, and his 7.5 aav cap hit is not insignificant. So I don't think it's a no brainer. I think it's all about finding players that fit your system, and I don't know the flyers system that well so I don't know. I'm not even sure if flyers ownership/management have set a system in stone, given the turnover at the top. I think that's the main problem. Schenn is another example, he could look terrible under a different system, but he checks the boxes for the blues. Both ror and schenn were having great seasons before the original covid pause in 2020, but since then they haven't looked great. I think they provide a lot of intangibles that have been instrumental in developing some of our younger players, but they haven't been showing up in the score sheet. Also, just my opinion, mike yeo is not an NHL level head coach, and it's no surprise to me that players aren't turning in A+ effort with him as head coach.
I think it's refreshing to say it like it is...I was 8 n 9 yrs old when flyers won cups....looking back their identity was take no crap play an honest game...Bob Clarke led the way then and he's doing same now...no b.s. ....imo

Thank you Ron Hextall from Colorado Avs ^^
Bobby Clarke couldn't find a half ass decent goalie to back up Eric Lindros to a Cup win.
lol ouch.
Who was available during that time?
Facts
Yeah Philly’s goalies looked bad in the cup finals against Detroit.

Clarke was awful gm and screwed up Flyers for years .
This is why the Filthadelphia Flyers are my most hated team. This garbage franchise screwed over my all-time favorite goalie Ron Hextall twice.
The only good thing about Hextalls career was Mike Keenan who coached him. It was wonderful in 1994 to see Keenan destroy him in the Quarter Finals.
