Does anyone know why Fletcher lasted less then one season as GM of the Wild as mentioned in the blog? I wasn’t aware that he was there and gone so quickly. A bit of a red flag?

He was GM until April of this year. That sentence was a brain fart or something

Hired in May and fired in April of the same year. I wouldn't want a guy that was fired before he was hired from the same job.

P.S. Follow me on Twitter, thanks.

It was a hindsight fire. Hired him, didn't like him, jumped into their time machine, went back to April of the same year and fired him. Don't you remember reading about this!?
