Orange & Black / Philadelphia Flyers

FlyerAlexandr залепи голосовалку, как относитесь к назначению этого нового гм

Интересно еще, насколько хорошо он знаком с историей и традициями Flyers.

Clarke is still good friends with Chuck’s dad, Cliff, who is in the Hockey Hall of Fame “builder’s″ wing.

It was the elder Fletcher who helped Clarke make the transition to general manager after No. 16 retired as a player in 1984.

During his career, Cliff was GM in Toronto, Atlanta/Calgary and Phoenix.

“He and (former Flyer GM) Keith Allen were the first two managers in that era who took care of players, their families — it was a different era but they were the first to do all that,″ Clarke said. “When I hired Chuck in Florida, I never talked to Cliff about it. I didn’t need to. I knew what Chuck had seen growing up ... saw how a general manager treated his players and their families.″

“Even though he was young when we hired him in Florida, he was really good,″ Clarke said. “What I’ve learned over the years is he hasn’t changed. It’s the way he treats people, includes everybody. He just does it right with people.″

Fletcher was the right-hand man for Bobby Clarke while they were both in Florida. He is even connected to the last head coach to lift the Stanley Cup for the Flyers, Fred Shero, having worked earlier this year with New Jersey Devils’ GM Ray Shero, son of Fred, in an advisory role.

Fletcher said, "There's a great group of people surrounding me. Scouts, people that know the game. There's a great resource obviously in Paul Holmgren. I spoke to Bob Clarke last night, my first boss, a long-time mentor.

А ГМ может уволить президента клуба?

Если бы Холмгрен не уволил бы Рона, то велика вероятность, что Comcast попер бы обоих

А кто тогда Холмгрена уволить может и за что главное?
