Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: Philadelphia Flyers CEO Dave Scott said their GM search will be “weeks, not months.”
Scott Mellanby and Chris Pronger have ties to the Flyers. Dean Lombardi won’t be a candidate. Chuck Fletcher and Ron Francis make some sense.
Would have to think they would at least check in on Steve Yzerman.
Would also be interesting to see if they asked for permission to speak with Tom Fitzgerald, Mark Hunter or Chris Drury.
Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol said he’s not “looking over my shoulder” about a potential change.
