Fire Dave Hakstol? Make a big trade? Reality says the Flyers’ best solution is simpler. | Mike Sielski

So the Flyers are in a bad way, 4-7-0 this season, giving up goals by the truckload and failing to score enough themselves, and whenever the Flyers are in a bad way, the same speculation and assertions always arise: Something should be done, and something will be done.

The first suggested solution is practically a reflex by now: Fire the coach. In this case, fire Dave Hakstol. If you doubt the existence and strength of that sentiment, you must have missed the "FIRE HAKSTOL" chants Saturday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Center, during the Flyers' humiliating 6-1 loss to the Islanders.
