Tortorella reiterates Flyers’ focus on long-term rebuild: ‘We cannot lose sight of what we’re doing here’

The Philadelphia Flyers are in an interesting situation with the NHL trade deadline less than five weeks away. In what was supposed to be the first year of a long rebuild, the Orange and Black find themselves in a playoff spot at the All-Star break.

Danny Briere, Keith Jones, and John Tortorella have made it clear that this is a rebuild. The Flyers are focusing on setting themselves up for consistent success in the long term rather than trying to get into the playoffs and see what happens. There’s a fine line there, but the Flyers aren’t too worried about walking it.
