Flyers GM Search Continues

David Shoalts, writing at the Globe and Mail's hockey blog -- Globe on Hockey -- has some good news about who Ed Snider may be looking at in his search:
As for the Flyers, those in the know say owner Ed Snider is determined a complete change of the Flyer culture is in order. That’s why he offered the job to an outsider like Campbell and why Paul Holmgren, assistant GM to Bob Clarke when he quit as Flyer GM, will not move beyond interim GM. It’s also why the job will not be offered to former goaltender Ron Hextall, currently a Flyer scout.
For the record, Hextall is now the assistant general manager in Los Angeles -- having been hired away by former Flyers scout and current Kings GM Dean Lombardi (yes, the same one whom I campaigned last season to replace Bob Clarke).

Meanwhile, Chuck Gormley notes that a few scouts -- none with ties to the organization -- were at last night's game:
GM search continues: Scouts from the Red Wings (Tom Webster), Stars (Neil Smith) and Canadiens (Pierre Gauthier) attended the game, but no one seems to know who is next on the Flyers' list of potential general managers.
