If he was traded right now for pennies on the dollar and then started playing well for his new team after recovering from his injuries, you and the clown would be the first to claim how Fletcher trades away good players and gets bad returns

Damned if he does, damned if he doesnt. Yall just want something to complain about

So...

Let's say you were part of a small galactic special ops team, and you were at war with a massive army which had their own specific language and their own special ops team. If you had a magic (or robotic) translation device, why in the hell would you purposefully block it from translating that language?

He hasn't exactly been lighting up the AHL. Even so, we'll only have to see him 2-3 times a year.

Now, Nolan Foote, on the other hand, is a different issue.

Its Vancouver's first. That's insane. This is truly a seller's market like wtf

The devils should make their GM full time cause he just fleeced 2 teams

- bulet13


Maybe.

A lot of people said their previous GM fleeced Nashville when they got Subban.

Trading for futures is different than trading for players. Shero totally misunderstood the true talent level of the team and of the players he acquired

Would you still rather see Tampa in the first round over Boston?

I don't want to face either, but yes, would still rather face Tampa Bay. Hell, after sleepwalking through the first, they took it to them for the better part of the game.

Not a fleece, but getting Niskanen for Gudas was a damn good trade.

It was. From a pure hockey perspective, all of Fletcher's moves have been good.

Agreed. And aside from giving up what I saw as an overpayment (at the time, at least) for Braun, I think all of his moves so far have been good both from a present and future standpoint.

with what Tampa did, you would think the trade market will be expensive.

Flyers need to stay out unless it is a clear cut win for them

The Isles gave up a 2nd round pick and a prospect for Andy Greene. Ridiculous.

I still think it was an overpay because I evaluate trades when they were made, not with hindsight. So it was a bit of an overpay, but the on-ice results have been good with him.
