Maybe a bit off topic, but I know there was a lot of discussion in the off season comparing the Flyers to the Flames. Two underachieving teams.

Flames decided to stay the course and the Flyers made some pretty significant changes. Some posters here and media members alike were praising the Flyers for changing up the room and making some tough decisions.

Out:
Myers
Patrick
Ghostisbehere
Hagg
Voracek
1st round pick
2nd round pick
2nd round pick
7th round pick

In:
Ellis
Ristolainen
Atkinson

Flyers currently sit 8-9-4 on the season and a lot of their wins are coming from Carter Hart playing like an elite goalie again. Pretty ironic considering their only real issue last season was getting league worst netminding.

0-6-1 in their last 7 and currently hold the 30th spot for expected goals rate. To be fair Ellis has been injured for a large part of the year, but their season is solely slipping away. It’s still early, but the returns aren’t looking good for them so far.
