On April 23, 2018, the Wild owner, Craig Leopold, announced that the organization would not renew Fletcher’s contract effectively ending his nine-year tenure with the club.

On December 3, 2018, Fletcher was hired by the Philadelphia Flyers as their new general manager. He is the ninth general manager in Flyers’ franchise history (eighth person to be general manager) and the first since 1990 who was not previously a player on the team. When Paul Holmgren resigned as President, Fletcher succeeded him, and he is currently the President and GM (alongside Valerie Camillo who is also President).

Fletcher was previously general manager of the Minnesota Wild, from May 21, 2009 to April 23, 2018. Fletcher stepped into the role following three years as assistant general manager for the Pittsburgh Penguins under Ray Shero. Before joining the Penguins, Fletcher served as the director of hockey operations, assistant general manager, and vice president of amateur scouting/player development for the Anaheim Ducks from 2002 to 2006. Prior to that he worked as assistant general manager of the Florida Panthers from their expansion year in 1993 until 2002.

A Montreal native, Fletcher is a Harvard University graduate (1990), and spent a year working as the sales and merchandising coordinator for Hockey Canada and two years as a player representative for Newport Sports Management before making the transition to front office work with the Florida Panthers. He lives in Voorhees, New Jersey with his wife Rhonda, with whom he has two children. His father is the well-known hockey executive and former general manager Cliff Fletcher.
