The Flyers search for a President of Hockey Operations now has some candidates reportedly entering the interview process, and a report of a potential "conflict of interest" within the search.

The Flyers have their new GM in place. The team officially announced the hiring of Chuck Fletcher on Tuesday as the eighth general manager in franchise history.

Chuck Fletcher, the former GM of the Minnesota Wild and currently a senior advisor with the New Jersey Devils, is atop the list of candidates for the Flyers GM job. The Devils granted the Flyers permission to speak with Fletcher regarding the open GM position on Wednesday, according to a report from TSN's Bob McKenzie.
