Saturday Morning Fly By: Happy trails Joe Watson, Hextall’s draft history, and COVID-19 ravages the Flyers

Puck drop...happy trails to former Flyers Hall of Famer Joe Watson, who is retiring after spending 54 years with the Orange and Black.

I just got off the phone with Flyers Hall of Famer Joe Watson. After 54 years with the organization -- except for 3 months w/ Colorado Rockies, he's been with the Flyers the entire history of the franchise -- he is retiring. His passion for the Flyers and the fans burns strong. pic.twitter.com/xvh3akz8Z7

*Former Flyers GM Ron Hextall is now current Penguins GM Ron Hextall to you — but was his draft record *really* all that great?
