Philadelphia Flyers: Rebuilding with Patience

It's March 17th, here's your NHL news in two minutes, subscribe to stay locked in

all season.

The Philadelphia Flyers are in the middle of a patient rebuild, with no playoffs in sight

for a fifth straight year.

Team President Keith Jones stays upbeat, saying the progress since he and General Manager

Danny Breyer took over in 2023 has been solid.

Jones laid out the plan on a recent radio show, focusing first on shedding salary cap burdens

from old bad contracts.

The financial cleanup has finally kicked in, giving the front office more room to maneuver

down the road.

Fans and analysts have mixed feelings as the team grinds through another tough season.

Jones gets the frustration, but stresses that rushing things won't work in today's

league.

The other big piece is stocking up on young talent, do the draft, and letting prospects

develop at their own pace.

Those picks are starting to pay off, as rickies get time in the system.

Coming into a potential six miss playoffs, Jones admits the summer 2026 goal might slip,

but he sees the foundation strengthening for future contention.
