Dave Hakstol proved for four years his system is trash in the modern NHL, he can't make in game adjustments, he makes terrible player usage decisions, can't evaluate NHL talent, and doesn't leverage basic stats in his decision making. Bye Felicia. You won't be missed.— Ski Monkey (@FreeskiMonkey) December 16, 2018
For what it's worth, the Flyers took a shot with Hakstol when he was hired before the 2015-16 season as a successful college coach without NHL experience. After nearly three-and-a-half seasons, results have shown the experiment failed. Flyers fans are ready for a new chapter.
