Chuck Fletcher’s history suggests that the next few months could be his busiest in the trade market.

The Athletic’s Craig Custance broke down the moves of 27 NHL general managers (four were not ranked based on a lack of activity) and their tendencies regarding the deals they’ve made.

While Fletcher doesn’t have the volume of deals as his counterparts across the league, 80 percent of Fletcher’s trades — all with the Wild — occurred between Jan. 1 and the league’s trading deadline, typically the end of February. That number was the highest percentage of any GM in the league.

Fletcher joined The Power Play with Steve Kouleas and Matthew Barnaby on SiriusXM NHL Radio Thursday evening and laid out some of his approach as it pertains to the Flyers.

We’re not looking to do anything crazy. Moving top prospects and top picks for rentals, that doesn’t do much good. Certainly, we do have a lot of prospects here and a lot of picks. That’s not to say we wouldn’t do something to add a player, particularly if that player had term left on his contract.

In saying that, Fletcher doesn’t appear to be a buyer and is rather positioning himself as a seller with an eye toward next season and beyond.
