LESS IS MORE.
No other phrase better sums up the 14-month tenure of Ron Hextall as Flyers general manager than this.
Whether we are discussing getting two second-round draft picks from the Blackhawks for the now-retired Kimmo Timonen, first- and third-rounders and a much cheaper defenseman from Tampa in exchange for Braydon Coburn and the contract that pays him $4.5 million next season, getting a third-rounder in 2017 from Boston for one-goal scorer Zac Rinaldo or miraculously dealing Chris Pronger's contract to Arizona, Hextall already has turned water to wine several times.
Yesterday's signing of goalie Michal Neuvirth to be the Flyers' backup certainly doesn't fall into this category.
