Following the passing of Ed Snider, Comcast big wigs will have a bit more of a role in the Flyers' hockey operations department than they once did.
Flyers president Paul Holmgren met with the assembled media in Voorhees on and gave an answer to a question that's been lingering in the back of all our minds since the death of Ed Snider two weeks ago: who calls the shots around here now?
As it turns out, hockey operations will still mostly be the sole responsibility of Holmgren and Ron Hextall. They have a budget from Comcast-Spectacor, and as long as they stay inside that budget they'll be free to do whatever they please.
