The Flyers have put themselves in just about an insurmountable position at this point in the season. Through 43 games they have struggled to just 36 points, placing them 30th out of 31 NHL teams and just one point ahead of the lowly Ottawa Senators. If we’re going off last year’s Eastern Conference playoff teams, 97 points was the cut-off to make the second season, meaning the Flyers would have to amass 61 points over their remaining 39 games if that same cut-off were applied to this year. I don’t think I’m bursting anyone’s bubble when I say that doesn’t appear to be in the cards.
What is GM Chuck Fletcher waiting for?
