Everyone knows the flyers need to do something about this season. Are they going to go into a rebuilding stage or will they be able to get back to where they were in the next 2 or 3 years?

With the way the salary cap effects teams no team will be down very long or on top for very long either. They cant afford to keep their top players all together so the Flyers (or any other team that is down currently) should be able to rebound fairly easily if they make the right free agent decisions and a couple of good trade deadline deals. Their biggest problem is they are a very slow defensive team and need to dump pretty much their entire defensive core and find a few skaters to help out the goalies (they need to play better also but Nittimaki might be good enough with better defence in front of him). Clarke needs to lose the Broadstreet Bullies mentality...it wont work to have a huge strong team in todays NHL, you win with D,goaltending and speed at the forward positions now.

I think they're well beyond a patch job
They need to completely rebuild from the ground up,
without the Broad Street Bullies attitude
That type of play just won't fly in the new NHL
As much as I miss that old time hockey,
I think it's gone forever

They are saying they are going to rebuild this offseason around Forsberg. I think he might jump ship though. Briere's name keeps surfacing since he will be a free agent at the end of the season.

Way to late to patch up. Time to rebuild like Pittsburgh has done w/young talented players.
