Paul Holmgren was the Philadelphia Flyers longest tenured General Manager in the salary cap era, winning 7 playoff series, including a Stanley Cup finals appearance. While Paul might have been responsible for most of their success, he was also liable for their greatest blunders, which peaked with Ilya Bryzgalov in 2011. Holmgren was fired within a year of Ilya’s contract getting bought out. A legendary Flyers enforcer Ron Hextall was awarded the top job in 2014, but was never able to win a playoff series. Among the team’s problems was finding reliable goaltending, which was partially to blame for how they ended up with Bryzgalov in the first place.
