GM Chuck Fletcher (Part 2)

[Deadpool8812]

I actually dont think Varone has looked that bad in his stint, but he shouldn't be dressing regularly over someone like NAK, Vorobyev, or any other prospect that they think haas anNHL future.

Seeing Lehtera back in the line up is even worse though

 

[Curufinwe]

The bets thing I can say about Varone is that he's getting 7:49 per game.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Varone does nothing for me.

 

[NYCFlyer]

If Fletcher is spending any more time on Varone or Raffl than it took for me to read the last page or so he needs to be replaced. With Myers ready to come up to the big club and Morin waiver exempt he needs to figure out the best way to restructure the D and maximize any return/cap on those moves. Plus he needs to trade Simmonds, make sure we dont screw up hopefully the last top ten draft pick we will have for a long while and find the right coach to lead us to repeated glory/parades over the next ten years. Thats a lot on his plate.

A lot of changes will come in February, I'd be surprised if there are major trades before the allstar break.
Teams like to wait to see if they're still in contention before making moves, and waiting a month lowers the cap hit from an acquisition, making it easier to put together trades.

Another month in the AHL won't hurt players, and it might help them to get more intensive coaching with Huffman and Murray.

Why are you lumping Raffl in with Varone?

I hear this line every season. The flaw in this is that waiting can cause lost opportunities. Ex-Dallas and other teams in their boat. The sooner that they clean up thir issues, the better their place in the standings and match up in the POs. The opportunities and or games lost in October through the TDL count just as much as those lost in early spring.

 

[Striiker]

OK, but he's still better than Lehtera... soo....

How about MacDonald, Chucky?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[dingbathero]

So KoKane gets to play. (not much)

MacDick gets to play. (not much)

We win.....

We shall see more of them me figures..... eek.

 

[tictactoe]

MacDonald................

 

[The Madrigal]

MacDonald got to be next.

Bolo Yeung!

He was so cool in Bloodsport. I can remember looking for and finding a few of his Hong Kong martial art flicks in the video store in the early 90's. They were pretty bad but he kicked ass!

He was in Enter the dragon with Bruce Lee which is also a pretty badass movie.

Right, forgot about that. That's a classic.

 

[The Madrigal]

Probably Bruce Lee's best movie and in my opinion had to have provided some inspiration for the Mortal Kombat video game.

 

[Curufinwe]

Great job by Chucky to put Weise on waivers when he wasn’t even ready to demote him, just so Lehtera could prove that he has no business playing this league.

 

[deadhead]

So? Like it matters?
Lehtera ended his career.
But Weise still has no future.

[Outlaw Samurai]

I have not soured on Fletch whatsoever apart from the Myers bullshit.

Hexy had to go without question.

Just wanted to clarify. Disliking Hagg has nothing to do with that.

Edit wrong thread (sort of)

What's even worse is trading Weal for a 6th just so you can dress Lehtera instead of promoting a deserving prospect.

Fletcher is throwing up a TON of red flags so far.

 

[Striiker]

He better be passively tanking because if he's actually trying to win games then he's going to be a horrible GM.

We'll see more of what he's made of when he makes his first big decision with Simmonds.

I'm withholding judgement on Fletcher so far. We don't know enough of what's going on behind the scenes and very little has been done for us to judge.

Lehtera almost lost last nights game by himself. He needs to stay in the lineup.

We all know Simmonds will get a concussion in practice right before the deadline and won’t be traded.

If only Hextall pulled his head out of his ass last summer, fired Hakstol, and embraced the prospects he spents years hoarding.
