Will the Flyers be patient or not?

Chris Nichols of Nichols on Hockey: Elliotte Friedman on his 31 Thoughts podcast on the Philadelphia Flyers.

Former Flyers GM Ron Hextall loved Wayne Simmonds but wasn’t willing to give him the term. How will new GM Chuck Fletcher feel about giving Simmonds term?

How aggressive will Fletcher be on the trade front?

“It’s funny,” replied Friedman. “He came out on Monday night in Philly, he spoke to a couple of their beat reporters. I saw Sam Carchidi and Dave Isaac wrote about it. He was saying, ‘No, I’m going to take my time with Dave Hakstol. I’m going to take my time with the players and see what I’ve got here.’

“Meanwhile, all of the other teams are telling me at the Board of Governors that the Flyers want to make big trades right away. So I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going to happen there.”
