Report: Devils give Flyers permission to discuss GM vacancy with Fletcher

The New Jersey Devils have given the Philadelphia Flyers permission to speak to executive Chuck Fletcher about their general manager vacancy, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Fletcher's name was linked to the Flyers role almost immediately after Philadelphia dismissed former general manager Ron Hextall on Monday. He is the frontrunner at this point, McKenzie adds.

Fletcher joined the Devils' brass as a senior advisor in June after being dismissed from his nine-year tenure as general manager of the Minnesota Wild.
