Daily News | Former Flyers coach Dave Hakstol was never the disaster here he was made out to be. He’s proving that in Seattle.
Sometimes sports and sports coverage are a hindsight business. A coach learns. An athlete develops. A team goes on a run.
Dave Hakstol has undergone that same kind of evolution, and his tenure as the Flyers’ head coach should be undergoing that same kind of reappraisal. Here, he is on the whole regarded as one of the many mistakes that former general managers Ron Hextall and Chuck Fletcher committed.
“He’s a huge reason why we’ve done well,” Kraken forward Jordan Eberle told The Athletic last month. “Anytime you get a group of 20 brand-new individuals, 25 brand-new guys together, and you’re able to make the playoffs, I think that’s a credit to the management. It’s a credit to the coaches and obviously a credit to the players. He’s a part of that.
Which, if you know anything about Hakstol’s tenure with the Flyers, would at first seem ironic. Because he lacked NHL experience, he admittedly gave the veterans on those teams more trust and ice time than he did the younger players who, at the time, promised to be the keys to the organization’s future. He could come down on the kids, and they were less likely to balk because they wielded less power and influence within the locker room and the organization. He benched Shayne Gostisbehere.
