Am so excited for Keith Jones,,glad he got the flyers job,,

[@Landis_Grant]

Keith Jones’s toughest job will be one day “soon” tell GM Daniel Briere to fire John Tortorella in person.

Yay!

Idiocracy but it’s the NHL

0 Front Office experience…former Flyer…patronage job offered. Not surprised at all with this.

they’ve changed the culture of the team, and the rebuild is going the right way. you’re an idiot

[@citylumberjack9169]

Rule #1 Jonesy - DO NOT "TRUST" THE OLD GUARD IN CLARKE, BARBER, AND HOLMGREN. At least as far as player evaluation.

[@AlterMann57]

I hope and pray that Holmgren-Barber-Clarke are dismissed from their position as advisors. They should simply be alumni players, with no further duties for that organisation forever!

[@bloke_19xx33]

The patronage jobs have to stop. Part of the fan base see no problem hiring ex-Flyers in these positions. What they don’t see is that this philosophy doesn’t… and hasn’t worked over the past 30+ years.
Ex-Flyers have taken up space in the Front Office (Scouting, Drafting , Player Development, coaching AHL affiliates)…how has that worked out for us?
Every time this team has a chance to do something great… they blow it.

@@AlterMann57 Sir, from what I’m hearing… they’re being pushed aside (quietly)…not sure if they’ll go away quietly, but it is a very small step in the right direction.

[@pjpredhomme7699]

he has been there the whole time - he has to know that. whether or not he can effect change is another story - he has the title but only time will tell. He is cut out of a different cloth than the Clarke, Holmgren, Barber cabal.

[@bloke_19xx33]

@@pjpredhomme7699 Agreed…and I hope Briere can make the job ‘his own’ and turn this team’s fortunes around. He needs to send a message to the Kings to ‘back-off’
I know that the Kings are on the way out, but I would like to see them gone before the upcoming draft (not that we’ll get much immediate help there, anyway). One of Briere’s greatest strengths is talent evaluation, from what I’m hearing. Maybe there’s hope yet.

It's pathetic how many stans Torts has.

[@piteusx8440]

This will be a disaster. Good on TV does not mean good at running a team.

[@joshuaneal7552]

The passion with which Jonesy and Danny have been stanning for Torts is simply terrifying. He sucks as a coach and as a person.

[@mickbodine1278]

NO, we do not want Torts type players! Torts will not be here for long and then what, we are stuck with a bunch of middle six players who lack the skill to win in this league. If they draft and sign players with an eye towards what Torts wants and likes, they will NEVER win.
