Daily News | Newcomers Marc Staal, Ryan Poehling explain why rebuilding Flyers were a desirable destination
Marc Staal has played 16 seasons, been an NHL All-Star, and made the playoffs 11 times. At this point in his career, he’s ready to have some fun — and he decided Philadelphia is where he wants to do it.
For five of those 13 years, Staal played under coach John Tortorella. Reuniting with him was another pro for Staal. That was a long time ago, Staal acknowledged, and he knows he’s a different player now and Tortorella is probably a different coach from back then. But they kept in touch over the years, and Staal hopes he can be an extension of Tortorella’s coaching in the locker room now thatAs a Ranger, Staal played against the Flyers often.
The opportunities Cates has been given are representative of the organization’s focus on its youth, and Poehling is excited to play a part in the rebuild.
