Daily News | ‘We’re selling’: Chuck Fletcher cites the future in announcing Flyers are open for business

As the clock ticks and the 3 p.m. trade deadline on Friday draws closer, general manager Chuck Fletcher made it clear that the Flyers are open for business with two simple words — “We’re selling.”

Because he isn’t setting a timeframe on his roster-building process, Fletcher isn’t in a hurry to trade some of the older players with term on their contracts. The goal, he said, is to get value back, not just to move players out because they might not line up with the Flyers’ potential timing to get back into playoff contention.

Not only have Fletcher, John Tortorella, and the Flyers’ hockey operations staff finally accepted that their process is going to take some time, but Fletcher also said that Comcast Spectacor chairman Dave Scott is on the same page. This would be somewhat of a pivot from what Scott said in January 2022, when he was adamant that he didn’t see the Flyers going through a three-to-five-year rebuild and that the team should be “in it,” i.e. competitive, the following season.

The true downside is this cardboard box is in charge of the sale.

Sell Fletcher for any negative number of dollars available

Another ineffective GM in the Flyers organization. Two off seasons and he’s done nothing to improve this team. Fire him now
