Chuck Fletcher is the new general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers, the club announced Monday.
The multi-year agreement makes Fletcher the eighth man to serve as GM in franchise history. His hiring comes after the team fired Ron Hextall in November.
The 51-year-old was most recently a senior adviser with the New Jersey Devils. He was also GM of the Minnesota Wild for nine seasons until April 2018.
His tenure in Minnesota included six playoff appearances and was highlighted by the team's big-ticket free-agent signings of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter.
