The Philadelphia Flyers have begun a new era with the hiring of head coach John Tortorella. Will this hiring put the Flyers on a new, upward trajectory? This week, Kelly Hinkle (@hinx) from BroadStreetHockey.com and the BSH Radio podcast joined us to dive into this hire and other Flyers storylines during this offseason. It was a great discussion!

But first, the Philadelphia 76'ers made some decisions during the NBA Draft. They traded their No. 23 overall pick and Danny Green to Memphis for DeAnthony Melton. Was this a good trade, and what did this draft tell us about Daryl Morey and how he's viewing the Sixers' future? (approx. 1:50)

From there, we stuck with discussing the NBA as there are rumors abound that Kyrie Irving may be leaving the Brooklyn Nets if he doesn't get a long-term deal? If he leaves for a team in the Western Conference, what does this mean for the East? (approx. 13:10)

Then we dove into the pitching woes of the Philadelphia Phillies as Zach Eflin continues to nurse injuries season after season, and Ranger Suarez doesn't seem to be a solid answer for the rotation? (approx. 21:05)

What we threw down on the Table this week was an in-depth interview with Kelly Hinkle from Broad Street Hockey and the BSH Radio podcast about the hiring of John Tortorella and what it means for the trajectory of this Flyers team. What are the biggest and most notable positives and negatives surrounding this hire? Will we see more structure and accountability from this Flyers team with Torts leading the charge? When the NHL’s free agency starts, where should the Flyers start? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (approx. 40:00)
