The Philadelphia Flyers have had an active start to the offseason and are starting to trend in the right direction.
It is fair to say that the team wasn't looked at seriously under former general manager Paul Holmgren in terms of contracts handed out (Ilya Bryzgalov) and shipped out (Jeff Carter and Mike Richards), but Ron Hextall has been all business since being installed as GM.
He started the offseason by hiring Dave Hakstol as Craig Berube's replacement to coach the team. He then made some savvy trades and got solid value at the draft.
