The Fletcher criticism is amusing, because he hasn't made a lot of moves (nor do most GMs, there's a small minority that wheels and deals b/c they have to be doing "something"), his two trades were for Niskanen and Braun, which rebuild the defense for a 2nd, 3rd and one year of Gudas.
Other than that, silly nitpicking, who cares about Stewart, Hartman, Thompson or Grant other than a few people on this board - he shuffled some bottom six guys with a 4th and 5th going out and a 4th (2), 5th, 6th & 7th returning. Notice now that he has critical mass of prospects, he signs Lycksell, Rubtsov and Sandin, instead of reupping all the AHL vets. With Hogberg, Wylie, Zamula and Millman, look for most of the veteran AHL D-men like Prosser to move on.
The people who want him to do something really mean they want him to steal someone, but you usually do that by trading an overvalued older veteran (Voracek, Ghost, JVR) for a younger player(s) who then blossoms with his new team (or he'd have cost more). But that only happens maybe every three or four of these types of deals, most young players turn out to be the same or worse on their new team.
Many of the people who want him to do something don't want him to trade anyone they like, Hayes as a NMC, Laughton ain't going nowhere, and Braun/Hagg/et al ain't garnering you much in a trade. So if you don't trade #13, Ghost, Voracek, TK (Couts or G if they won't sign an extension), who are you going to trade?
