A list of all the things I want to happen but won’t

There is a level of palpable excitement, or for lack of a better word, nervousness, around the Flyers. There hasn’t been this high a level of intrigue, for me at least, since the waning days of Paul Holmgren’s tenure as the General Manager. It feels as if any given moment, Chuck Fletcher could do almost anything, for better or for worse. We, as the collective audience to this spectacular theater, have bore witness to this exactly, from the signing of Kevin Hayes (probably good) to the trade for Justin Braun (possibly bad). Day after day, news has broken, a statement we could never utter while Ron Hextall presided over roster construction.
