Flyers refuse to make one major move

With nine losses in a row, some Philadelphia Flyers fans are hoping general manager Ron Hextall is considering making a major move to help his team. But, according to NHL insider Bob McKenzie, it will not be the one most people would expect outside of Philadelphia. 

"Ron Hextall is not firing his head coach Dave Hakstol in spite of the fact fans in Philadelphia were chanting “fire Hakstol” the other night and Ron Hextall knows that if you don’t fire the coach in Philly when fans are mad at you, then they could soon be chanting “fire Hextall” but he’s all in with his coach right now even though they’re on a nine-game losing streak," explained McKenzie on Insider Trading on TSN Thursday night. 

The Flyer might look to make a trade instead, but Hextall has several players he refuses to move in his lineup too.

"He likes his first line, he likes his fourth line, he likes his defence and he likes his goaltending but those middle six forwards, he’s not trying to get rid of them but he’s trying to find somebody that he could perhaps add in there that could be a catalyst to get more out of their second and third lines but he won’t trade any of the young pieces."

The Flyers are facing off against the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon and they better hope for a win, or else, something has to change in Philly.
