That more axes were going to fall in the wide world of the Flyers in the days following Ron Hextall’s firing was inevitable, and even more so following an embarrassing come-from-ahead loss on Tuesday night against the Ottawa Senators. But the cuts and firings made by the Flyers today came from all different directions and at all sorts of folks, so let’s just dive right in.
First, the firings: Assistant general manager Chris Pryor and assistant coach Gord Murphy are no longer with the team. Team president, current-GM-of-sorts, and czar of torture Paul Holmgren announced that news in a statement as such:
Pryor was in his 19th season in the organization, working previously as the director of scouting before being promoted to his most recent (and now final) position as AGM and Director of Player Personnel in August 2016.
