NHL Insider Names Two Top Candidates To Replace Hextall.

"It's only been a couple of hours, but it looks like the Philadelphia Flyers might already have a couple of candidates to replace Ron Hextall. Hextall was of course fired earlier this morning because of an apparent difference in philosophy, so who might be on the same page as Holmgren and Flyers upper management?NHL insider Darren Dreger has already labeled two names who could potentially replace Hextall. Dreger Tweeted out that both Chuck Fletcher and Ron Francis could be the two early candidates to land the job. Fletcher was let go by the Minnesota Wild after failing to drum up any playoff success over the years while Francis was let go by new Hurricanes owner after Francis refused to make any blockbuster deals. Considering Hextall reportedly refused to fire Dave Hakstol or make any blockbuster moves, it's doubtful Francis would fit the bill. What do you think of Fletcher or Francis as possible candidates?
