Penguins Front Office Member of 3 Stanley Cups Could be Joining The Flyers
In an expected turn of events, the Philadelphia Flyers will be giving themselves a face-lift in the front office. Firing Chuck Fletcher has set-off a rightly accelerated plan to change things around.
The hope is that the changes are for the better, as John Tortorella has Danny Briere's ear, and more front-office speculation is happening.
According to Elliot Friedman, there's talk that Ray Shero may get a shot in Philadelphia.

Shero now in the Minnesota Wild organization as a Senior Advisor was apart of the Pittsburgh Penguins front office when they won one of their Stanley Cups and since then, hasn't had much luck with the New Jersey Devils.
It was speculated back in March by Sam Carchidi that the Flyers may be eyeing Shero.
The Penguins fired Shero three days after their 2014 playoff elimination, a seven-game loss to the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Pittsburgh blew a 3-1 series lead.
After winning the Cup in 2009, the Penguin advanced past the second round just once, and upper management didn't think that was good enough. Shero's Devils had one playoff appearance.

Kyle Shero is one of Ray's sons, who coincidentally enough works for the Philadelphia Flyers as a scout in New England.
It really makes you think, is Nepotism a great thing?
