His itinerary called for stops in Buffalo, Detroit and Pittsburgh, the three teams that had shown the greatest interest. He was prepared to jet elsewhere as needed. Sorry, Detroit. Later, Pittsburgh. Fletcher's tour started and ended in Buffalo. "I was very impressed with the organization," Fletcher explains. "Everyone I met overwhelmed me and kind of blew me away.
"My gut feeling was telling me this is the place for me. It was going to be hard for other teams to outdo Buffalo in the direction I feel the organization is headed and the way the organization is run."
"I've always won, whatever level I've played at. I'm used to winning," he says. "That's the only thing I'll accept, and I won't accept anything less from my teammates. I want to bring an attitude to this team. Teams are not going to see Buffalo and count a win toward their total. If anything, it's going to be the other way around."
