🏒 Garnet Hathaway had always been a thorn in the Flyers' side, a particularly pointy one when he was with the Capitals for parts of four seasons. He definitely had his battles with Sean Couturier. NBCSPhilly
With a shorter-term commitment to Hathaway and no trade protection, the Flyers can reassess where he stands in their rebuild throughout the next two seasons. One would think he'd appeal to contending teams when the stretch drive rolls around. General manager Danny Briere called him"You look at it as a whole, this organization has been really tough to play against my entire career," Hathaway said.
"Talking to them, feeling wanted, feeling like there was a lot of interest, and then hearing all the positive things about the organization, that just made me even more excited about them."Hathaway reached out to players who had played for Flyers head coach John Tortorella in the past."It was a long list, to be honest with you," Hathaway said."I talked to a lot of guys from different stages in their career and different teams that they had played for him.
"I think that's going to go really hand in hand with being a competitive team. Getting to this process where every game you want to build your game out throughout the season, you want to be better than the game prior and you want to continue that. "I heard get ready for camp because I don't think there's another one like it. But I think once you put that effort in and you have that willingness to work hard to get to that goal that you achieve within that room, it makes it all worth it."
