A Few Words About London Fletcher....

[BigHairedAristocrat]

First, Fletcher's made comments about considering his future the past few offseasons. Based on his play this year, i highly doubt he intends to retire. Secondly, i'd be shocked if we cut him. Doing so would only save us about 3.5MM in cap, since we'd take an almost 3MM cap hit if we released him. Then, we've got to go out and find someone to replace London. Sure, it could be someone already under contract, but then we have to go out and find someone to replace THAT guy. So lets say his replacement ends up costing us only 1MM. We're still saving over 2MM in cap room, but is it worth it? I personally dont think so. He's still playing at an exceptionally high level, so I'd rather keep Fletcher one more year than save about 2MM in cap room.
