Tough to follow that strategy when the FO insists on "being competitive" and "aggressively reloading."
Given those constraints, I was happy with Fletcher until his 3rd season, only trading a 2nd and 3rd and Gudas away to make the playoffs.
Then he panicked and started bleeding assets as the team went into a death spiral.
Now whether they should have been trying to compete is another issue - but that's on Holmgren/Clarke/Barber who opposed any sort of rebuilding, and Hextall, who blew his window of opportunity when Snider approved a rebuild.
Fletcher was the front office. He could have taken control, fired all those people, and done what he wanted. He wanted the arrangement they had. And now everyone in the org is used to having influence they shouldn't have, so this team is f***ed long-term.
