All just a little bit of history repeating

The Philadelphia Flyers hired Chuck Fletcher as their next general manager in December of 2018 after Ron Hextall’s patient plan turned out to be a little too patient.

Fletcher had made some big swings with the Minnesota Wild from 2009 to 2018 and the organization thought he’d be the right guy. Unfortunately, three-and-a-half years later, the fanbase has more than soured on Fletcher and his seat must be getting pretty hot.

It didn’t start out that way, though. Fletcher’s first offseason at the helm was one of action. He addressed some of the team’s key issues and they were able to go on a run the following season.
