When we were all finally made aware of the full 2019-2020 Flyers coaching staff of Alain Vigneault, Michel Therrien, and Mike Yeo, I gotta say I wasn’t all that thrilled. The Vigneault hiring was something that grew on me in the following days, but the Therrien and Yeo hiring have taken a bit longer. But, putting my feelings of the individual coaches aside, I decided to look at the bigger picture surrounding these hires and the direction of the team as a whole.
Looking back at the coaching staff heading into the 2018-19 Philadelphia Flyers season, there were plenty of familiar faces.
