Fletcher had a pretty good idea what the market was like and what they were prepared to do to move players. He did not like the cost associated with it and back out, much to chagrin of many Flyers fans. I think it was the right move, which is very strange for Chuck Fletcher.

I'm going on what Fletcher said, not what Friedman speculated. Fletcher answered the question directly to Flyers media, so no speculation required. I'm also not sold on anything Friedman says. You think Anthony DeAngelo is a solution to the 40 points in question? With Fletcher, who knows what he's thinking, which is why it's best to go to the source.
