It's going to be interesting to see how Hakstol will translate from college to pro as we have seen a lot of highly touted junior coaches that were not up to the task. Curious hire as a lot of the Flyers best players are in their prime or slightly past it and this is one of those hires that could be boom or bust especially after wasting a season under Berube who simply wasn't ready to be an NHL head coach. Surprised they didn't kick the tires on Babcock or McLellan in hopes of turning things around quickly.
In a lot of ways the Flyers have become the new Islanders in that they are just throwing stuff up against the wall hoping for something to stick. Has to be frustrating times for one of the better fan bases in the league.
