NHL-legendaren Cliff Fletcher har avlidit vid 90 års ålder

Cliff Fletcher, den mångårige NHL-ledaren som förde Calgary Flames till Stanley Cup-titeln 1989 och värvade Mats Sundin till Toronto Maple Leafs, har avlidit vid 90 års ålder.

Fletcher gick bort i fredags. Han byggde sitt rykte som en av ligans främsta general managers under en karriär som inkluderade sejourer hos Atlanta Flames, Calgary Flames, Tampa Bay Lightning, Arizona Coyotes och Toronto Maple Leafs. Han flyttade klubben från Atlanta till Calgary och satte samman laget som vann Stanley Cup 1989. Fletcher tog även Mats Sundin till Toronto 1994 och anställde senare Anders Hedberg som assisterande general manager. Fletcher återvände till Maple Leafs säsongen 2007-08 som tillförordnad general manager efter att John Ferguson fått lämna sitt uppdrag. Han förblev knuten till organisationen som rådgivare fram till sin död.
