Since his departure, a lot has been made of the legacy left behind by Chuck Fletcher from his time with the Minnesota Wild. Looking back, he was a gutsy GM, never afraid to swing for the fences with trades, and although some of those trades failed miserably, he hit a few home runs during his tenure.
One can argue that Fletcher’s best move of all was the season-saving trade of a bag of pucks for Devan Dubnyk during the 2014-2015 season. Even today, Dubnyk remains a solid force in the Wild’s goalcrease, and although it wasn’t his best year in Minnesota, he continued to impress during this most recent campaign.
