Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

Ken Hitchcock has to feel like a ping pong ball at this point, bouncing back and forth within the Flyers organization. First, he signed a contract extension over the summer to remain as the Flyers head coach. Then, just eight games into the season, he was fired from the position. Now, finally, he was re-hired by interim GM Paul Holmgren to be a pro scout for the team. There It Is take: What a strange, strange tale. This appears to be a nothing move to me. Hitchcock certainly has a solid hockey mind and I'm glad that he'll be working for us and instead of someone else. However, Hitchcock himself acknowledged that the move is merely a placeholder for him until he finds a head coaching gig somewhere else. It makes me wonder how much scouting he'll be doing around the road or if he'll spend the time networking with the other teams.
