“Dave Hakstol is our coach and he will remain our coach. Period,” Hextall told Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer. “I’ve said it over and over, and I’m not going to say it again.”

I'll never understand why GMs make these statements. They hold about as much water as a kitchen strainer.

Saw it last season with Capuano.

It happens every season. Basically, it is the GMs way of telling the coach his days are numbered.

Hakstol is only part of the problem. When it comes the Flyers, the organization seems hesitant to let go of the past. The organization hasn't done well with drafting/developing skilled forwards that fit today's game. I don't see any coach overcoming the Flyers' inherent issues.
