The Flyers' General Manager, Chuck Fletcher told Yandle that the team wants to get some of their young kids into some games. After another disappointing season the Flyers need to look at what they have to try to be better in the future.
Clearly this is a disappointing decision by the Flyers. No one wanted to see the streak ended this way, so you can't blame Yandle for being upset. Yandle spoke with the media today on the Flyers decision:
Yandle has taken the decision handed down to him with grace and understanding as the veteran team player always has. Although plenty have already objected to this decision from the Flyers on his behalf. In my opinion this isn't the right call, especially when Yandle was so close to make it to 1,000 straight games, a mark never hit before.
