The 2014-2015 NHL season did not go as planned for the Philadelphia Flyers. With two of the best players in the league, a plethora of talented forwards, and a solid goaltender, many expected the Flyers to be one of the eight teams representing the Eastern Conference in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Unfortunately, the orange and black did not live up to expectations, posting a 33-31-18 record and finishing in 12th place in the Eastern Conference.
There are many reasons as to why the Flyers did not experience success in the 2014-2015 regular season. As General Manager, it is Ron Hextall’s duty to identify the problems with his organization, and fix them.
