FLYERS ranked 11th-best in the NHL in a poll conducted by The Athletic:
“I liked that Fletcher came in and continued the spirit of what Hextall had developed. He didn’t throw away all the assets to grab ‘his own guy,’ but held on to a lot of value while still making his mark with guys like Hayes, Niskanen, Braun and Pitlick.”
“Still miss Hextall’s drafting and patience, but Fletcher’s signings and roster building last year were top-notch. This is still a group that takes the long view. Very refreshing for the Flyers. I’m a fan.”
“I would give them a 5 in all categories if they promoted Gritty to GM.”
