Flyers prepare for rebuild while other Philly teams thrive

DALLAS, TX - APRIL 6: John Tortorella of the Philadelphia Flyers coaches against the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center on April 6, 2023 in Dallas, Texas. (Photo by Glenn James/NHLI via Getty Images) PHILADELPHIA - Hours after Eagles QB Jalen Hurts signed one of the richest deals in NFL history, hours before the 76ers were set to carry on their pursuit of an NBA championship, the leaders of the Flyers spoke out and said, hey, about those splashy headlines in Philly, they’re not for us.At least not yet.The forlorn Philadelphia Flyers are in full-blown rebuild mode — and coach John Tortorella and interim general manager Danny Briere are tempering offseason expectations for any fan looking for a quick fix.One of the worst teams in the NHL this season just may land there next year, too.But for once, after seasons of poor drafting, misfires on attempted quick fixes in free agency, a seeming disconnect between ownership, the front office and the bench, Tortorella, Briere and other members of a revamped power structure insist the Flyers have a cohesive plan for the future."It started with me, with the rebuild," said Briere, who was promoted in March.

Senior Fed official sees need for more interest rate increases

WASHINGTON - A senior Federal Reserve official said Friday that there has been little progress on inflation for more than a year and that more interest rate hikes are needed to get prices under control.Christopher Waller, a member of the Fed's governing board, did not specify how many more increases he supports, but said in written remarks that inflation "is still much too high and so my job is not done."Last month, inflation slowed as food and gas prices fell, but excluding those volatile categories, "core" prices kept rising and are 5.6% higher than a year ago. Waller pointed out that core prices have risen at about that same pace, or higher, since December 2021.Waller's comments expressing support for more rate hikes follow a forecast by the Fed's staff economists, revealed in Fed minutes Wednesday, for a "mild recession" later this year.The Federal Reserve building is seen January 22, 2008 in Washington, DC.
