Hey if getting rid of Fletcher helps us win im all for it. But he did get us our best player this season and Tippett looked good and there are still trades to go today and this summer and high draft picks to be made so i say he gets a chance.
I guess well see as i know two of their LW have more points than Giroux. I guess they are trying to even out their lines like when we used to put JVR on the top line to get him some points.
Cant build around a super star when you dont have one making super star money. .
Im not gonna delve into I hated him because xyz type of thing. I liked him, was an above average player, but on the flip side he was a horrible leader IMO. He would've been better suited to wear an A instead of a C. We'll see how he does now that the pressures off. I won't root for him to win a cup cause I'll be riding the Avs train but Florida is a nice place to retire.
For sure Fletcher gets a pass on the Giroux thing as he did the best from the hole Giroux put him in in trading with only one team. I can agree with the upper management needing a change because they watched on as Hextall sunk the ship and sat idle with a mediocre team for years. If firing Fletcher helps us I'm all for it but who would we replace him with?
Briere?
Ill go with that but he needs some seasoning first.
Was hoping for more but in reality that's what he is. Chariot has a little more upside in his game and can skate.
i agree.
The only things i could see that would be surprising today would be a TK or Prov trade at this time. I think Prov goes over the summer. This is just my opinion i haven't heard anything about this.
