Why the Flyers, Sherwood should choose each other
Nobody has coached Sherwood to success quite like Tocchet has, and the two would be an ideal fit together in Philadelphia for a few reasons.
For starters, Bobby Brink, Nick Deslauriers, Christian Dvorak, and Rodrigo Abols are all on expiring contracts.
Those are four bottom-six pieces the Flyers will have to replace, and Brink, while arguably more talented, can't match the physicality Sherwood brings despite the similar offensive production at a much younger age.
Dvorak was brought in this offseason at least partially due to his familiarity with Tocchet, but a player like Jett Luchanko should be taking his roster spot by next season, making his return unlikely.
