Could next season Marc Andre Fleurylast?
Jesse Pearce from NHL.comMinnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is entering the final year of his contract. He’ll be 39 when his deal ends and Fleury isn’t sure if he’ll play next.
“I… (considered retirement),” Fleury said Monday. “Especially last time, I’ve had to move a few times, move to Vegas, then to Chicago, here. Don’t I want to keep moving kids and stuff right? Also, I don’t know. Getting older, it’s hard.”
“Obviously, I’ll think about it after next season, right? But that could be it.”
Flurry is seven wins Patrick Roy551, which is second Martin BrodeurHe has 691 wins. Fleury is also 15 games away from 1,000. Brodeur is the leader in games played with 1,266, then Roberto Luongo with 1,044, and Roy with 1,029.
Michelle Russo: Even if his role is reduced to a more backup role rather than a 1A/1B tandem, Florey’s okay with it: “I’m tired of moving. I’m not going anywhere,”
Philip Gustafson And other wild free agents
Michael Russo and Joe Smith of The Athletic: The Minnesota Wild will have about $10.15 million in salary cap space next season with the cap space increasing to $14.7 million.
The Wild’s top priority should be re-signing suspended RFA goaltender Filip Gustavsson after his 22-9-7 season with a 2.10 GAA and 0.931 save percentage. Will he get an offer sheet from someone? Will they be able to enter into a three-year deal or can they resort to arbitration?
Before the playoffs began, the Wild were interested in re-signing Ryan Reeves And Marcus Johansson or Gustav Nyquist (They signed Johansson yesterday to a two-year deal.) Re-sign the RFA Brandon Duhemy Should be a priority, and Sam Steele can be re-signed if the price is cheap,
UFAs Dumbaa diedAnd John Klingberg And Oscar Sundqvist He won’t come back. Defenseman Caline Addison (RFA) can be transferred, possibly John Merrill ($1.2 million) or Alex Goligewski ($2 million) also to create more space. Will Marc-Andre Fleury Consider Returning to Pittsburgh?
The Wild could use another top position, which isn’t easy to find/get. maybe Marco Rossi He turns in the offseason or if they are going to trade Gustafsson.
