Chuck Fletcher has a Minnesota bias. It’s an idea that we’ve been tossing around, positing as fact all off-season, but now that things seem to be quieting down, it seems an appropriate time to investigate this. Is this true? What exactly does this Minnesota bias entail? And how prominently is it presenting?
The first piece we might look at comes in the form of drafted players, and if they are or are not from the state of Minnesota. Easy enough. This year, the Flyers drafted a total of four American players, two of which (Bobby Brink and Bryce Brodzynski) are from Minnesota.
