In June of 2019, Chuck Fletcher found himself with some big shoes to fill as he took on his first draft with the Flyers. Being the first successor to known drafting guru and former General Manager, Ron Hextall, Fletcher knew he had high expectations to meet. Hextall restocked the Flyers’ farm system with a plentiful group of talented prospects and Fletcher did not want to deplete the system. Hextall was infamous for finding the hidden gems amongst the draft class and it appears Fletcher borrowed a page from Hextall’s book when he selected defenseman Mason Millman in the fourth round.
