Confirmed Signing with Link: [MIN] G Marc-Andre Fleury signs extension with the Wild (1 year, $2.5M)

[BKarchitect]

Carrying three goalies is not nearly the impossible task (a few) people still make it out to be.

 

[Xerloris]

So sad to hear he's going to finish his career with a team that wont make the playoffs.

 

[sxvnert]

Perfect guy to play the Craig Anderson role for the Wild.

Fluery is tied with Fuhr for 3rd in playoff wins. Looks like he will stay there

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Sad to see Fleury waste away the last few years of his career. He could've easily been a part of a tandem on much better teams.

Also kinda surprised Minnesota doesn't wanna roll with a Gus/Wallstedt tandem next year

Good teams don't want a playoff sieve.

Hard not love Fleury as a person, but it doesn't make a lot of sense if you're looking to contend in two years. You're telegraphing to the league that Gus is on the block, and with his play this year and contract you're selling low. Meanwhile Fleury will be gone regardless and the NMC means you won't be acquiring assets for him. So instead of a potential Wallstedt/Gustavsson combo, you're in the market for a goalie, preferably another veteran like Gustavsson. Short-term managing at its finest.

I wouldn't be surprised if BG has put out some feelers on Gus, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the Wild rolled with Gus and MAF next season.

The Flower train rolls a long. Will probably always be my favourite G after Cujo.

In today's NHL you pretty much have to be three deep in net.

Eh, Minnesota is pretty damn good. Just struggled with injuries this year

 

[Nakawick]

Not going to lie, was half hoping MAF would sign and retire a Penguin.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Happy for him. Guy is a class act. Part of me wanted him to retire a Pen.

He probably will; it'll just be on a one-day contract next summer.

 

[Blanick]

Hell yeah, Flower is still going! I know he plays for a rival but he is just such a likeable guy.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Everything less than 4x4 is a W with BG.
