John Boruk of NBC Sports Philadelphia: The Philadelphia Flyers will start their head coaching search immediately, and GM Chuck Fletcher will consider interim coach Scott Gordon as a strong candidate.
“I had a conversation with Scott this morning, who remains a strong candidate,” Fletcher said. “Talked to him about what I’m going to do. My plan is start my due diligence and reach out to some people and also spend some time with Scott. Hopefully at the right time, name the right person.”
The Flyers will be looking for a second-line center, a top-four defenseman and a backup goalie this offseason.
