Normally, NHL teams do not make large moves at this point in the season due to cap constraints and trying to figure out where they fit into the playoff race. To me, Fletcher's hands are tied at the moment, and he needs to wait until closer to the March 3rd trade deadline to make any large moves.
Although, as mentioned last year, when faced with this same issue, CEO Dave Scott gave Fletcher a blank check to reorganize the team. His performance has not been up to the task, and he deserves to be reevaluated once this season is over.
Connor Bedard ... anyone??
