Flyers coach John Tortorella says it’s imporant the Flyers separate their love of current Flyers from what’s needed to become a contender.
Flyers coach John Tortorella weight in on the speculation about both Scott Laughton and Rasmus Ristolainen being shipped out at the trade deadline during an interesting press conference Wednesday after practice. But he was very up front about what his job is in relation to the team and general manager Danny Briere. And also what he believes he owes players who might be the center of trade speculation.
When asked how to find that balance between looking ahead to improving the team while still coaching the team as it presently is constructed, Tortorella said honesty to his boss but also his players is the best policy.
