Chuck Fletcher has been the General Manager for the Minnesota Wild since May 21, 2009. He is probably best known for reeling in both Zach Parise and Ryan Suter on July 4th, 2012. Personally, I will never forget that day. I was having a few beers and putting together my new barbeque grill on my deck on a beautiful Duluth summer day when I heard the news. I celebrated, ended up with a wobbly grill but was thrilled with what had transpired that day. Ever since, Fletcher has stayed busy, including making many trades. In my opinion, these trades are the best of the bunch, in no particular order.
