Hate to see anyone lose their job but…good.
It feels as if every season, a former flyer breaks out
Hell, the LA championship team was had just about the exact flyers line as the year prior lol
Tony Androckitis confirmed the report.
[I’m able to confirm @ADiMarco25
‘s report re: changes to #Flyers development staff.
In addition, I’m hearing Brady Robinson will remain goalie development coach & Kjell Samuelsson will remain in the organization, but it won’t be on the player development side. @InsideAHLHockey](https://twitter.com/TonyAndrock/status/1663902077502865413)
[The moves were made about two weeks ago. Not sure why there wasn’t any formal announcement (perhaps waiting until replacements are hired).
This is commonplace when a new GM (& President of Hockey Ops) take over. The front office and hockey operations staffs will be re-worked.](https://twitter.com/TonyAndrock/status/1663902079398682625)
Not knowing anything about these people, I assume Flyers are revamping their development staff knowing the team is going to have a boatload of developmental prospects and incoming draft picks. More than usual.
When an organization continuously underperforms with a high budget changes have to be made. Never root for someone to loose their job but a shakeup is certainly needed all around.
