Ron Hextall

Former Flyers GM Ron Hextall is about to get back in the GM chair as he is reportedly in negotiations with the Penguins to become their next GM, according to TSN’s Frank Seravalli.

The Flyers' greatest weakness for decades was finding a goalie that had the ability to get them to the next level. Carter Hart has appeared to transform that discussion.

It was another disappointing season for the Flyers. Another slow start through the first 25 games. Another season of chasing in the standings. Another season of chasing the game on a nightly basis.

The season will ultimately be known for the failure to meet expectations, to take that next step in the development of a contender, and the massive fallout behind it.

As it stands entering Tuesday’s NHL action, the Flyers are five points out of a playoff spot with 16 games to go.

The week ahead is already a big one on the ice for the Flyers, but there are several intriguing storylines as the week moves ahead. Here are three that have stood out.

The Flyers handled the struggling Ducks with four first-period goals and never looked back, picking up their 10th win in the last 12 games to keep the line moving.

Flyers forward Dale Weise was not on the ice for practice on Friday and has apparently been told to stay home as the Flyers try to work out a trade for the veteran forward.

A clean slate for the orange and black rings in a new era for the team, one where they can hopefully move on from the identity of inconsistency.

According to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News, the Flyers will name Chuck Fletcher as the new GM of the team.
