Broad St. Bullcast
Flyers Podcast: Questions about GM, Risto; Chance to Win Prize
The Philadelphia Flyers will open training camp on Sept. 21, and when they do, they will have lots of motivation.
The media throughout North America, you see, predicts they will have another sad-sack season.
In my latest Broad Street Bullcast, I talked about how the Flyers are buried in TSN’s ongoing rankings of left wingers, right wingers, centers, and defensemen.
The mailbag portion of our podcast, includes questions answered about general manager Chuck Fletcher, defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen, the team’s direction, and much more.
In addition, take a chance answering my offbeat trivia question — hint: it involves the Philadelphia Flyers and Halloween costumes — and you’ll have an opportunity to win the book I did with Lou Nolan, If These Walls Could Talk.

I have a question, when do the Flyers get a gm, fletch isn’t a gm, he’s a blowhard ( aggressive retool lol) and a failure.
Fletcher had a bad summer, no question, or maybe he’s tanking without saying it?
Problem is, if they were really tanking, they wouldn’t have brought in Torts. They could have kept Mike. Heck, Scott Gordon was great with the younger players. The smart thing to do, starting with the trade of Giroux, would have been to trade for more younger players to stock the AHL and NHL roster. Most likely, in the trades we did make, we would not have gotten top prospects, but you take a risk on some kids unlike Tippett who is “supposed” to be good. You don’t bring in more veterans. You add even more college players as undrafted signings. Move JVR and other contracts to create cap space and then you tank. I mean, you’re not telling the coach to lose games. You’re just not building up the roster with any real talent. Let the chips fall where they may, but at least have a young roster with some excitement. I’d rather see sloppy skilled losers than boring, “two-way, 200-feet” defensive forwards.
I have a few questions: is there anyone above Dave or Valerie (someone with a pulse) who has a vested interest in the success of this club?
How is Chuck’s further reckless (not aggressive) decimation of this team accepted as ‘business as usual’ from the ‘Powers That Be’’ ?
Don’t hold your breath about ‘tanking’ for Bedard. We’ll find a way to ruin that, and The Ghost of ‘Patrick Kane’ may have other ideas.
This is an oganization that has two long time dedicated employees suing them for toxic disease-causing fumes. You think they really care about the fans or the roster?
