Just pray your owner doesn’t follow Fletcher up with a Paul Fenton. Believe it or not, there are worse GMs than Fletcher…

 

I don't believe it. Maybe as bad....you just can't be worse.

We feel better now for you, but do not steal our Guerin from us. It seems you are following us with managers, coaches, players.😊

 

Well the manager sure wasn't wanted, at all, by me. The players came cause the manager doesn't have a clue what he's doing...but he remembered he worked for Minnesota so he should build a team with that affiliation along with anything Kevin Hayes. Which resulted in a near bottom NHL joke. 

 

Hope we rebound as well as you guys did after those years in limbo that we're now in.

Yeah, no. While Fletcher may have been an inept clown, Fenton was just evil. Traded a scoring forward for a third line center without even scouting the center. Used a first round draft pick on a player no one had going before the third round. And who consequently has never played in the NHL. Created a toxic work environment in the front office with snitches and spies bad enough where the owner finally had to get rid of him, and he was hand picked by the owner…

See Fletchers whole handling of Shayne Gostisbehere/Risto/Deangelo...where he could have just kept Ghost, but instead threw away 1st, 2nds, 3rds,7th and players to get rid of, and then to replace him. Mind bogglingly assinine.

This whole situation is demonstrative of organizational* incompetence at every level.

 

The Flyers PAID to take a guy off their hands that a CUP CONTENDER just PAID to acquire for their playoff run.

 

The SAME TEAM that the Flyers PAID to get DeAngelo from.

 

This is emblematic of an organization* with no long term plan.

As easy it is to throw shade at Fenton, he also did draft some decent players.  Filip Johansson was a big miss, but beyond that he did ok from the draft table.  The Fiala for Granlund trade was an upgrade.  It wasn't Fenton's fault we couldn't keep him, but he gave the team perhaps its best scoring talent not named Kaprizov or Gaborik.  

 

I understand the point of this thread is to throw shade at Fletcher and it will be interesting to see if he lands somewhere else.  I can't imagine as a team's GM, but assistant GM perhaps.  He wasn't afraid to make a deal, but at times his impulses really came back to bite him.
